Descriptions

Buffer overflow in QuickTime in Apple Mac OS X before 10.7.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PNG file.

Desbordamiento de búfer en QuickTime en Apple Mac OS X antes de v10.7.3 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección o causar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) a través de un archivo PNG manipulado.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of AppleQuickTime Player. 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 occurs when the application allocates space for decoding a video sample encoded with the .png format. When calculating space for this surface, the application will explicitly trust the bit-depth within the MediaVideo header. During the decoding process, the application will write outside the surface's boundaries. This can be leveraged to allow for one to earn code execution under the context of the application.
