APPLE QUICKTIME
COLOR TABLE ID REMOTE HEAP CORRUPTION

Rubйn Santamarta <[email protected]>

Affected products and/or platforms:
Mac OS X v10.3.9 and later
Windows Vista
Windows XP
Windows 2000

Color table ID
A 16-bit integer that identifies which color table to use. If this field
is set to –1, the default color table should be used for the specified
depth. For all depths below 16 bits per pixel, this indicates astandard
Macintosh color table for the specified depth. Depths of 16, 24, and 32
have no color table.
If the color table ID is set to 0, a color table is contained within the
sample description itself. The color table immediately follows the Color
table ID field in the sample description.

“Unless otherwise stated, all data in a QuickTime movie is stored in
big-endian (Motorola) byte ordering.”

00 00 => COLOR TABLE ID (WORD)
01 66 => number of entries (WORD)

We can corrupt the adjacent memory of the affected heap chunk. The
amount of heap memory that will be corrupted is limited by “number of
entries”, as we can see above that value is controlled.

Successful exploitation can lead to a remote code execution within the
user's logged context.
