Descriptions

QT Media Foundation in Apple QuickTime before 7.7.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-3665 and CVE-2015-3669.

QT Media Foundation en Apple QuickTime anterior a 7.7.7 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) a través de un fichero manipulado, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-3665 y CVE-2015-3669.

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 handling of the alis atom. By providing a malformed alis atom, an attacker is able to cause QuickTime to overflow a stack buffer and execute arbitrary code in the context of the QuickTime process.
