Buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.7.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted clef atom in a 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.
