Apple iTunes <= 10.6.1.7 Extended m3u Stack Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution (2012)

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in iTunes 10.4.0.80 to 10.6.1.7. When opening an extended .m3u file containing an '#EXTINF:' tag description, iTunes will copy the content after '#EXTINF:' without appropriate checking from a heap buffer to a stack buffer and write beyond the stack buffers boundary. This allows arbitrary code execution. The Windows XP target has to have QuickTime 7.7.2 installed for this module to work. It uses a ROP chain from a non safeSEH enabled DLL to bypass DEP and safeSEH. The stack cookie check is bypassed by triggering a SEH exception.

Mitigation:

Update to the latest version of iTunes

            # Exploit works best if iTunes is not running and the user browses to a malicious page.
