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 MP3 file.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.8 that is older than 10.8.4. The newer version contains numerous security-related fixes :

  - A local security-bypass vulnerability exists that affects the Disk Management component. The issue can be exploited by an unauthorized attacker to disable FileVault using the command-line. (CVE-2013-0985)

  - A security-bypass vulnerability in SMB file sharing can occur whereby an authenticated attacker can write files outside the shared directory. (CVE-2013-0990)

  - A remote buffer-overflow vulnerability exists when handling certain PICT images. (CVE-2013-0975)

  - A security-bypass vulnerability exists whereby an attacker with access to a user's session may be able to log into previously accessed sites. An attacker can exploit this issue even if Private Browsing was used. (CVE-2013-0982)

  - A remote-code execution issue affects the text glyphs because of an unbounded stack allocation when handling maliciously crafted URLs. (CVE-2013-0983)

  - A remote-code execution vulnerability exists due to improper handling of text tracks. (CVE-2013-1024)

  - A buffer-overflow vulnerability exists in the Directory Service daemon that can be exploited via a specially crafted network message. (CVE-2013-0984)

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.8.x that is prior to 10.8.4. The newer version contains multiple security-related fixes for the following components :

  - CFNetwork
  - CoreAnimation
  - CoreMedia Playback
  - CUPS
  - Disk Management
  - OpenSSL
  - QuickDraw Manager
  - QuickTime
  - SMB

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
