Descriptions

CoreAudio in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via crafted audio content with QDM2 encoding, which triggers a buffer overflow due to inconsistent length fields, related to QDCA.

CoreAudio en Apple Mac OS X anterior v10.6.3 permite a atacantse remotos ejecutar código de su elección o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria o caída de programa) a través de un contenido de audio manipulado con codificación QDM2.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple QuickTime. 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 during the rendering of an audio stream utilizing QDesign's audio codec. The application will perform an allocation utilizing a field specified in the sample's description. Later when initializing the buffer, the application will utilize a different length. If the lengths differ, then a buffer overflow will occur. This can lead to code execution under the context of the currently logged in user.
