VAR-200705-0516
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-10 23:01Apple QuickTime for Java 7.1.6 on Mac OS X and Windows does not properly restrict QTObject subclassing, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a web page containing a user-defined class that accesses unsafe functions that can be leveraged to write to arbitrary memory locations. Apple QuickTime for Java fails to properly clear memory. As a result, sensitive information may be exposed to unintended parties. This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Apple QuickTime for Java is prone to a remote heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input prior to copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service. Apple QuickTime is a popular multimedia player that supports a wide variety of media formats. There is a loophole in the implementation of QuickTime, and a remote attacker may take advantage of this loophole to control the user's machine. If a user is tricked into visiting a Web page containing a specially crafted Java Applet, a heap overflow may be triggered, resulting in the execution of arbitrary instructions

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.

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.
