{"vuid":"VU#822481","idnumber":"822481","name":"Apple QuickTime fails to properly process specially crafted MIDI files","keywords":["Apple","QuickTime","Mac OS X","Microsoft","Vista","XP","2000","arbitrary code execution","MIDI files","QuickTime_715"],"overview":"The Apple QuickTime player contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or create a denial-of-service condition.","clean_desc":"Apple QuickTime contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running QuickTime. By convincing a user to open a specially crafted midi file with QuickTime, an attacker can trigger the overflow. Depending on settings, a web browser could automatically open a midi file using Quicktime without user interaction. Apple iTunes includes the QuickTime player. Note that this vulnerability may be present in QuickTime versions prior to 7.1.5 running on Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and Vista.","impact":"A remote, unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code or create a denial-of-service condition. The crafted file may be supplied on a web page, in an email, or by some other means designed to encourage a victim to invoke QuickTime on the exploit file.","resolution":"Apply an update\nApple has released an update to address this issue.","workarounds":"Do not allow browsers to open QuickTime automatically Until updates can be applied, do not allow your web browser to automatically open files associated with QuickTime. Consult your web browser's documentation or the references section of this document for more information. Do not open multimedia files from untrusted sources Do not open multimedia files that are from untrusted or unknown sources. For more information, please see Using Caution with Email Attachments. Limit privileges Running QuickTime with reduced privileges may help mitigate the effects of this vulnerability. Users with administrator access can run QuickTime with reduced privileges by following the instructions in Microsoft knowledgebase article 294676.","sysaffected":"","thanks":"Thanks to Apple for information that was used in this report.
