Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the error-logging functionality of Apple QuickTime prior to version 7.6.7 on Windows platforms. The vulnerability can be triggered by a remote attacker via a specially crafted movie file, leading to arbitrary code execution or application crash when the file is opened. The flaw is present in the debug logging code and does not affect Mac OS X systems.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability in Apple QuickTime Player 7.6.6 (CVE-2010-1799). The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTTP server that serves either a crafted SMIL file or an HTML page embedding the SMIL file, designed to trigger the vulnerability when opened in a browser with the QuickTime plugin enabled. The module allows for customizable payloads (default 640 bytes, with bad characters specified) and leverages SEH overwrite and heap spray techniques to achieve code execution. The exploit is operational and can be used to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems. The only endpoints referenced are for the official QuickTime plugin and download pages, used in the HTML content to trigger the plugin. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit framework, and all exploit logic is contained within this file.
