Detail
Vulnerability Note VU#309873Apple QuickTime JPEG2000 heap buffer overflowOverviewApple QuickTime contains a heap buffer overflow in the processing of JPEG2000 data, which can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.I. DescriptionApple's QuickTime Player is multimedia software that allows users to view local and remote audio, video, and image content. QuickTime contains a heap buffer overflow in the code that handles JPEG2000 data.This vulnerability may be triggered by using the QuickTime Player or an application that uses the QuickTime plug-in, such as a web browser. This issue is addressed in Apple Mac OS X v10.6.5 and Security Update 2010-007 as well as QuickTime 7.6.9.

Disable file association for QuickTime files Disable the file association for QuickTime file types to help prevent windows applications from using Apple QuickTime to open QuickTime files. This can be accomplished by deleting the following registry keys:
Disable JavaScript For instructions on how to disable JavaScript, please refer to the Securing Your Web Browser document. This can help prevent some attack techniques that use the QuickTime plug-in or ActiveX control. Do not access QuickTime files from untrusted sources Attackers may host malicious QuickTime files on web sites. In order to convince users to visit their sites, those attackers often use a variety of techniques to create misleading links including URL encoding, IP address variations, long URLs, and intentional misspellings. Do not click on unsolicited links received in email, instant messages, web forums, or internet relay chat (IRC) channels. Type URLs directly into the browser to avoid these misleading links. While these are generally good security practices, following these behaviors will not prevent exploitation of this vulnerability in all cases, particularly if a trusted site has been compromised or allows cross-site scripting.

69313 | Apple Mac OS X QuickTime Crafted JP2 Image Handling Overflow Apple Mac OS X QuickTime is prone to an overflow condition. The QuickTime feature fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted JP2 image, a context-dependent attacker can potentially cause denial of service or allow execution of arbitrary code. |
