      Apple QuickTime Multiple Vulnerabilities (PICT, Integer Overflow, DoS)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://www.apple.com/quicktime/> QuickTime is a multimedia technology
    developed by <http://www.apple.com/> Apple Computer, capable of handling
    various formats of digital video, sound, text, animation, music, and such.

    Memory overwriting, integer overflowing and denial of service
    vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apple's QuickTime.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * QuickTime version 7.0.1 for Mac OS X 10.3
     * QuickTime version 7.0.1 for Mac OS X 10.4
     * QuickTime version 6.5.2 for Mac OS X 10.3
     * QuickTime version 6.5.2 for Mac OS X 10.2
     * QuickTime versions 7* for Windows

    Immune Systems:
     * QuickTime version 7.0.2 for Mac OS X 10.3
     * QuickTime version 7.0.2 for Mac OS X 10.4

    PICT Remote Memory Overwrite:
    Apple QuickTime PictureViewer is reported prone to remote memory overwrite
    vulnerability (exploitable via remotely originated content).

    Expansion of compressed PICT data could exceed the size of the destination
    buffer, this cause an memory overwrite. The vulnerability may lead to
    remote code execution when specially crafted picture file (PICT file) is
    being loaded.

    QuickTime Player Remote Integer Overflows:
    Apple QuickTime Player is reported prone to remote integer overflow
    vulnerabilities (exploitable via remotely originated content).

    A sign extension of an embedded "Pascal" style string could result in a
    very large memory copy, which lead to potential memory overwrite. The
    vulnerability may lead to remote code execution when specially crafted
    video file (MOV file) is being loaded.

    Improper movie attributes could result in a very large memory copy, which
    lead to potencial memory overwrite. The vulnerability may lead to remote
    code execution when specially crafted video file (MOV file) is being
    loaded.

    QuickTime Player Remote Denial of Service:
    Apple QuickTime Player is reported prone to remote denial of service
    attack (exploitable via remotely originated content).

    A missing movie attribute is interpreted as an extension, but the absence
    of the extension is not flagged as an error, resulting in a de-reference
    of a NULL pointer. This will cause a denial of service against any
    application loading remotely-originated content.

    Vendor Status:
    Vendor (Apple) has been noticed and released all necessary patches.
