APPLE-SA-2004-10-27 QuickTime 6.5.2
QuickTime 6.5.2 is now available and delivers the following security
enhancements:
CVE-ID: CAN-2004-0988
Available for: Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000,
Microsoft Windows ME and Microsoft Windows 98
Impact: An integer overflow that may be exploitable in an HTML
environment
Description: A sign extension of an overflowed small integer can
result in a very large number being passed to a memory move function.
The fix prevents the small integer from overflowing. This issue
does not exist in QuickTime for Mac OS X systems. Credit to John
Heasman of Next Generation Security Software Ltd. for reporting this
issue.
CVE-ID: CAN-2004-0926
Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.x, Mac OS X Server v10.3.x, Mac OS X
v10.2.8, Mac OS X Server v10.2.8, Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft
Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows ME and Microsoft Windows 98
Impact: A heap buffer overflow could allow attackers to execute
arbitrary code
Description: Flaws in decoding the BMP image type could overwrite
heap memory and potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code
hidden in an image. This is the same security enhancement that was
made available in Security Update 2004-09-30, and can be deployed on
the additional system configurations covered by this QuickTime
update.
QuickTime 6.5.2 may be obtained from the Software Update pane in
System Preferences, or Apple's QuickTime web site:
