Descriptions

QuickTime in Apple Mac OS X 10.6.x before 10.6.5 accesses uninitialized memory locations during processing of GIF image data, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted GIF file.

QuickTime en Apple Mac OS X v10.6.x anteriores a v10.6.5 accede a posiciones de memoria no inicializada mientras procesa datos de imágenes GIF, lo que permite a atacantes ejecutar código de su elección o provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) a través de una imagen GIF manipulada.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple QuickTime. User interaction is required in that a target must open a malicious media file or visit a malicious page.
The specific flaw exists within the application's implementation of the LZW compression when opening a certain file format. The application will allocate a buffer for the image and then decompress image data into it. Due to explicitly trusting the decompressed data, a buffer overflow will occur. This can lead to memory corruption and code execution under the context of the application.
