Untrusted search path vulnerability in the Picture Viewer in Apple QuickTime before 7.6.8 allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse (1) CoreVideo.dll, (2) CoreGraphics.dll, or (3) CoreAudioToolbox.dll that is located in the same folder as a .pic image file.

Versions of QuickTime earlier than 7.6.8 are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

An input validation issue in the QTPlugin.ocx ActiveX control could allow an attacker to force the application to jump to a location in memory controlled by the attacker through the optional '_Marshaled_pUnk' parameter and in turn to execute remote code under the context of the user running the web browser. (CVE-2010-1818)

  - QuickTime Picture Viewer uses a fixed path to look for specific files or libraries, such as 'cfnetwork.dll' and 'corefoundation.dll', and this path includes directories that may not be trusted or under user control.  If an attacker places a maliciously crafted DLL in the same directory as an image file, opening the image file with QuickTime Picture Viewer will cause the malicious DLL to be loaded. (CVE-2010-1819)

The version of QuickTime installed on the remote Windows host is older than 7.6.8.  Such versions are reportedly affected by two vulnerabilities :

  - An input validation issue in the QTPlugin.ocx ActiveX     control could allow an attacker to force the application     to jump to a location in memory controlled by the     attacker through the optional '_Marshaled_pUnk'     parameter and in turn to execute remote code under the     context of the user running the web browser.
