Apple QuickTime 7.6.7 _Marshaled_pUnk Code Execution

Description

This module exploits a memory trust issue in Apple QuickTime 7.6.7. When processing a specially-crafted HTML page, the QuickTime ActiveX control will treat a supplied parameter as a trusted pointer. It will then use it as a COM-type pUnknown and lead to arbitrary code execution. This exploit utilizes a combination of heap spraying and the QuickTimeAuthoring.qtx module to bypass DEP and ASLR. This module does not opt-in to ASLR. As such, this module should be reliable on all Windows versions. NOTE: The addresses may need to be adjusted for older versions of QuickTime.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
