CVE-2011-0250

Desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica en Apple QuickTime en versiones anteriores a 7.7 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) a través de atoms STTS modificados en un archivo de película QuickTime.

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 within the way Quicktime handles invalid values in the Sync Sample Atom. Due to a signed compare instead of an unsigned compare it is possible to corrupt the Sample Atom Table. Values from this table are later used to populate a heap buffer and the corrupted value causes a heap overflow. This can result in remote code execution under the context of the current user.
