VAR-200209-0001
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:19Buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime 5.0 ActiveX component allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long pluginspage field. A vulnerability has been reported in the Apple QuickTime ActiveX component for Internet Explorer. The issue is a buffer-overrun condition that occurs because the software fails to perform adequate boundary checks of supplied arguments. If the component is invoked with the 'pluginspage' argument set to an overly long string value, the overrun will occur. Successful exploits may allow attacker-supplied instructions to run on affected client systems. Apple QuickTime is a media player that provides high-quality sound and images. The Apple QuickTime ActiveX control is generally used for movie tracking and other streaming and static media technology processing when embedded in a WEB page. This control lacks correct checks on the buffer boundary when processing the \"pluginspage\" field, and remote attackers can use it to build malicious WEB pages, or sending HTML emails to entice users to open them, can cause buffer overflows on the client side. Carefully constructed \"pluginspage\" field data may execute arbitrary instructions on the system with the permissions of the current user process

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
