Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in the plugin in Apple QuickTime before 7.7.2 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted QTMovie object.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en el plug-in de QuickTime de Apple antes de v7.7.2 en Windows permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) a través de un objeto QTMovie modificado.

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 Quicktime.qts. The stack buffer overflow occurs as a result of an unbounded string copy function in Quicktime.qts, reachable through the IQTPluginControl::SetLanguage COM method exposed by the COM object QTPlugin.ocx. This vulnerability can be leveraged to execute code under the context of the user.
