System access

This covers vulnerabilities where malicious people are able to gain system access and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple iTunes, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error when parsing paths in M3U playlists with no preceding paths or extra information directives can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted M3U file containing an overly long path.

2) The application bundles a vulnerable version of WebKit.

For more information see vulnerability #3 in:
SA48454

NOTE: This vulnerability does not affect the application on OS X Lion systems.

3) Boundary errors when parsing titles in M3U playlists can be exploited to cause a heap-based and a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted M3U file containing an overly long title in the extra information directive.

4) A boundary error when parsing paths in M3U playlists can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted M3U file containing an overly long path.

5) A boundary error when parsing paths in PLS playlists can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted PLS file containing an overly long "File" value.

6) Boundary errors when parsing titles in PLS playlists can be exploited to cause a heap-based and a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted PLS file containing an overly long "Title" value.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
