Title: Apple QuickTime 'QTPlugin.ocx' ActiveX Control Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Apple QuickTime is a media player for Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.

The application is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. The vulnerabilities reside in the 'SetBgColor', 'SetHREF', 'SetMovieName', 'SetTarget', and 'SetMatrix' methods of the 'QTPlugin.ocx' ActiveX control. The ActiveX control can be identified by CLSID: {02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B}.

An attacker may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application that invoked the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

These issues affect QuickTime 7.4.1 and prior versions.
