Description
This 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. This is due to the
QuickTime3GPP.gtx component not handling certain Style subfields properly, as the
font-table field, which is used to trigger the overflow in this module. Because of
QuickTime restrictions when handling font-table fields, only 0x31-0x39 bytes can be
used to overflow, so at the moment DEP/ASLR bypass hasn't been provided. The module
has been tested successfully on IE6 and IE7 browsers (Windows XP and Vista).
