Title: Apple QuickTime RTSP URI Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Apple QuickTime is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input prior to copying it to an insufficiently sized stack-based memory buffer.
Specifically, URIs with the 'RTSP' scheme containing specifically formatted excessive data will result in a memory buffer being overrun with attacker-supplied data.
Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application, facilitating the remote compromise of affected computers.
Attackers exploit this issue by coercing targeted users to access malicious HTML or QTL file or by executing malicious JavaScript code. Any of these methods allow attackers to launch an excessively long RTSP URI, triggering the issue.
QuickTime 7.1.3 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
Affected Products:
- Apple QuickTime Player 7.0.4
- Apple QuickTime Player 7.1.3
