Discussion

Apple QuickTime 'STSZ' Atoms Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Apple QuickTime is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability caused by an error in handling specially crafted movie files with 'STSZ' atoms.

Successful exploits may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

This issue affects versions prior to QuickTime 7.5.5 for OS X 10.4 and 10.5, for Microsoft Windows Vista, and for Windows XP SP2 and SP3. The issue also affects Apple TV 1.0 up to and including 2.1.

NOTE: This issue was previously described in BID 31086 (Apple QuickTime Movie/PICT/QTVR Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document the vulnerability.
