VAR-200802-0509

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-10 23:13

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in an ActiveX control in QTPlugin.ocx for Apple QuickTime 7.4.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long arguments to the (1) SetBgColor, (2) SetHREF, (3) SetMovieName, (4) SetTarget, and (5) SetMatrix methods. (1) SetBgColor Overly long arguments to methods (2) SetHREF Overly long arguments to methods (3) SetMovieName Overly long arguments to methods (4) SetTarget Overly long arguments to methods (5) SetMatrix Overly long arguments to methods. Apple QuickTime 'QTPlugin.ocx' ActiveX control is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. These issues affect QuickTime 7.4.1 and prior versions. Apple QuickTime is a very popular multimedia player. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to take control of a user's system. The QTPlugin.ocx ActiveX control does not correctly verify the input to the SetBgColor, SetHREF, SetMovieName, SetTarget, and SetMatrix functions. If the user is tricked into visiting a malicious web page and passing a long string to these functions, it may trigger a stack overflow, resulting in execution Arbitrary instructions

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.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
