Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Apple QuickTime, which could be exploited by remote attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information or take complete control of an affected system.
The first issue is caused by a memory corruption error when processing a malformed H.264 movie, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a malicious movie.
The second vulnerability is caused by a memory corruption error when processing a malformed movie file, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a malicious file.
The third issue is caused by an integer overflow error when processing a malformed m4v file, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a malicious file.
The fourth vulnerability is caused by an integer overflow error when processing a malformed SMIL file, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a malicious file.
The fifth issue is caused by a design error in QuickTime for Java, which could be exploited by attackers to bypass security checks and execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a malicious web page.
The sixth vulnerability is caused by a design error in QuickTime for Java, which could be exploited by malicious Java applets to bypass security checks and read and write process memory, leading to arbitrary code execution.
The seventh issue is caused by a design error in QuickTime for Java where certain interfaces are exposed by JDirect, which could be exploited by attackers to load arbitrary libraries and free arbitrary memory, leading to arbitrary code execution.
The eighth vulnerability is caused by a design error in QuickTime, which could be exploited by attackers to capture a client's screen content by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.
