Title: Apple QuickTime Image Descriptor (IDSC) Atom Remote Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Apple QuickTime is a media player that supports multiple file formats.
The application is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability. Specifically, this issue occurs when parsing Image Descriptor (IDSC) atoms in a malicious movie file. Attackers can use this issue to corrupt heap memory by specifying a malicious atom size.
An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted movie file.
Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
This issue affects versions prior to Apple QuickTime 7.4 running on Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP SP2, and Mac OS X.
