QuickTime in Apple Mac OS X before 10.8.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted idsc atom in a QuickTime movie file.

Versions older than Quicktime 7.7.5 contain the following vulnerabilities:

  - An uninitialized pointer issue when handling track lists, which can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code or application termination (CVE-2014-1243)

  - Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities, which can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code or application termination (CVE-2014-1244, 2014-1246, CVE-2014-1248, CVE-2014-1249, CVE-2014-1251)

  - Multiple out-of-bounds byte swapping issues, which can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code or application termination (CVE-2014-1250, CVE-2013-1032)

  - A signedness issue in the handling of 'stsz' atoms, which can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code or application termination (CVE-2014-1245)

  - A memory corruption issue when handling the 'dref' atoms, which can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code or application termination (CVE-2014-1247)

The version of QuickTime installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 7.7.5.  It is, therefore, reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Out-of-bounds byte swapping issues exist in the     handling of QuickTime image descriptions and 'ttfo'     elements. (CVE-2013-1032, CVE-2014-1250)

  - An uninitialized pointer issue exists in the handling of     track lists.  (CVE-2014-1243)

  - Buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the handling of     H.264 encoded movie files, 'ftab' atoms, 'ldat' atoms,     PSD images, and 'clef' atoms. (CVE-2014-1244,     CVE-2014-1248, CVE-2014-1249, CVE-2014-1251)

  - A signedness issue exists in the handling of 'stsz'     atoms. (CVE-2014-1245)

  - A memory corruption issue exists in the handling of     'dref' atoms. (CVE-2014-1247)

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

The remote host is missing Mac OS X security update 2013-004 that fixes multiple security issues. 

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.8 that is older than 10.8.5. The newer version contains numerous security-related fixes for the following components :

  - Apache
  - Bind
  - Certificate Trust Policy
  - CoreGraphics
  - ImageIO
  - Installer
  - IPSec
  - Kernel
  - Mobile Device Management
  - OpenSSL
  - PHP
  - PostgreSQL
  - Power Management
  - QuickTime
  - Screen Lock
  - sudo

 This update also addresses an issue in which certain Unicode strings could cause applications to unexpectedly quit.

 Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues could result in arbitrary code execution.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7 that does not have Security Update 2013-004 applied.  This update contains several security-related fixes for the following component :

  - Apache
  - Bind
  - Certificate Trust Policy
  - ClamAV
  - Installer
  - IPSec
  - Mobile Device Management
  - OpenSSL
  - PHP
  - PostgreSQL
  - QuickTime
  - sudo

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues could result in arbitrary code execution.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.8.x that is prior to 10.8.5. The newer version contains multiple security-related fixes for the following components :

  - Apache
  - Bind
  - Certificate Trust Policy
  - CoreGraphics
  - ImageIO
  - Installer
  - IPSec
  - Kernel
  - Mobile Device Management
  - OpenSSL
  - PHP
  - PostgreSQL
  - Power Management
  - QuickTime
  - Screen Lock
  - sudo

This update also addresses an issue in which certain Unicode strings could cause applications to unexpectedly quit.

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues could result in arbitrary code execution.
