Descriptions

The QuickTime Movie Parser Filter in quartz.dll in DirectShow in Microsoft DirectX 7.0 through 9.0c on Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and Windows Server 2003 SP2 does not properly validate unspecified size fields in QuickTime media files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file, aka "DirectX Size Validation Vulnerability."

EL QuickTime Movie Parser Filter en quartz.dll en DirectShow en Microsoft DirectX v7.0 a la v9.0c sobre Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 y SP3, y Windows Server 2003 SP2, no valida adecuadamente el tamaño sin especificar de los campos en los archivos "Quicktime media", lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de un archivo manipulado, también conocido como "Vulnerabilidad de validación de tamaño en DirectX".

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. User interaction is required in that a target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious video file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of the length records of certain QuickTime atoms. The application implicitly trusts the length during a transformation which will lead to memory corruption and can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current user.
