Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in QuickTime in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted movie file with M-JPEG encoding, which causes QuickTime to calculate a buffer size using height and width fields, but to use a different field to control the length of a copy operation.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en QuickTime en Apple Mac OS X anterior v10.6.3 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección o causar una denegación de servicio (caída de programa) a través de un archivo de película manipualdo con codificación M-JPEG.

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 parsing of compressed mjpeg data from a malformed .mov file. The application will utilize the width and height fields in the file for calculating the size of a heap buffer. When copying into this buffer, the application will use a different field in the file to determine when to stop copying. If the first calculated length is smaller than the one used for decompression, a memory corruption will occur which can result in code execution under the context of the current user.
