Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in Indeo.qtx in Apple QuickTime before 7.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via crafted Indeo video codec content in a movie file.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en Apple QuickTime anterior a 7.5, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (Caída) y la posibilidad de ejecutar código de su elección a través de un contenido "Indeo video codec" manipulado.

This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple Quicktime Player. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of Quicktime files that utilize the Indeo video codec. A lack of proper bounds checking within Indeo.qtx can result in a stack based buffer overflow leading to arbitrary code execution under the context of the currently logged in user.
