Buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.7.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted movie file with H.264 encoding.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8 that does not have Security Update 2013-003 applied.  This update contains several security-related fixes for the following component :

  - QuickTime

Successful exploitation of these issues could result in arbitrary code execution.

The version of QuickTime installed on the remote Windows host is older than 7.7.4.  It is, therefore, reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the handling of     'dref' atoms, 'enof' atoms, 'mvhd' atoms, FPX files, MP3     files, H.263 and H.264 encoded movie files, Sorenson     encoded movie files, and  JPEG encoded data.
    (CVE-2013-0986, CVE-2013-0988, CVE-2013-0989,     CVE-2013-1016, CVE-2013-1017, CVE-2013-1018,     CVE-2013-1019, CVE-2013-1021, CVE-2013-1022)

  - Memory corruption vulnerabilities exist in the handling     of QTIF files, TeXML files, and JPEG encoded data.
    (CVE-2013-0987, CVE-2013-1015, CVE-2013-1020)

Successful exploitation of these issues could result in program termination or arbitrary code execution, subject to the user's privileges.

Versions of QuickTime earlier than 7.7.4 are affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A buffer overflow existed in the handling of 'enof' atoms. (CVE-2013-0986)

  - A memory corruption issue existed in the handling of QTIF files. (CVE-2013-0987)

  - A buffer overflow existed in the handling of FPX files. (CVE-2013-0988)

  - A buffer overflow existed in the handling of MP3 files. (CVE-2013-0989)

  - A memory corruption issue existed in the handling of TeXML files. (CVE-2013-1015)

  - A buffer overflow existed in the handling of H.263 encoded movie files. (CVE-2013-1016)

  - A buffer overflow existed in the handling of 'dref' atoms. (CVE-2013-1017)

  - A buffer overflow existed in the handling of H.264 encoded movie files. (CVE-2013-1018)

  - A buffer overflow existed in the handling of Sorenson encoded movie files.  (CVE-2013-1019)

  - A memory corruption issue existed in the handling of JPEG encoded data. (CVE-2013-1020)

  - A buffer overflow existed in the handling of JPEG encoded data. (CVE-2013-1021)

  - A buffer underflow existed in the handling of 'mvhd' atoms.  (CVE-2013-1022)

Successful exploitation of these issues could result in program termination or arbitrary code execution, subject to the user's privileges
