This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability found in Apple QuickTime. When handling a TeXML file, it is possible to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow, and then gain arbitrary code execution under the context of the user. The flaw is generally known as a bug while processing the 'transform' attribute, however, that attack vector seems to only cause a TerminateProcess call due to a corrupt stack cookie, and more data will only trigger a warning about the malformed XML file. This Metasploit module exploits the 'color' value instead, which accomplishes the same thing.
c3e73b5fb622e5d0d8dee9cca23a811ec375673bedd92228a5733bc9287c407bZero Day Initiative Advisory 12-107 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple Quicktime. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of XML elements within a TeXML file. Specifically, when handling the style XML element the code within QuickTime3GPP.qtx does not properly validate the length of the data within specific sub-fields. By providing specially crafted data, the code can be made to copy too much into a fixed-length buffer on the stack. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running Quicktime.

User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of XML elements within a TeXML file. Specifically, when handling the transform attribute the code within QuickTime3GPP.qtx does not properly validate the length of the data within a translate or matrix object before copying it into a fixed-length buffer on the stack. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running Quicktime.
a690137e64bef8ffcb153214bdb9c44ed446d4114da83d08686a0c31ffe78477Apple Security Advisory 2012-05-15-1 - QuickTime 7.7.2 is now available and addresses multiple security issues. Multiple stack overflows existed in QuickTime's handling of TeXML files. A heap overflow existed in QuickTime's handling of text tracks. A heap buffer overflow existed in the handling of H.264 encoded movie files. An uninitialized memory access issue existed in the handling of MP4 encoded files. For OS X Lion systems, this issue is addressed in OS X Lion v10.7.3. For Mac OS X v10.6 systems, this issue is addressed in Security Update 2012-001. Various other issues were also addressed.
