CVE-2017-12143

In libquicktime 1.2.4, an allocation failure was found in the function
quicktime_read_info in lqt_quicktime.c, which allows attackers to cause
a denial of service via a crafted file.

qtinfo allocation-failed-in_quicktime_read_info

qtinfo lives in libquicktime-tools from OBS

Comment 1 Kristyna Streitova 2017-08-04 16:21:21 UTC 
I tested the latest libquicktime in SLE12SP2, openSUSE:Factory and openSUSE:Leap and it seems that we are not affected thanks to our recent security fix for multiple CVEs (patch libquicktime-<version>-multiple_vulnerabilities.patch for CVEs from CVE-2017-9122 to CVE-2017-9128). 

I haven't tested SLE11 but as we have the same multiple_vulnerabilities patch there I expect the same results. 

Test output for SLE12SP2:
-------------------------
# zypper se -s libquicktime | grep ^i
i+ | libquicktime-tools | package  | 1.2.4-0      | x86_64 | (System Packages) 
i  | libquicktime0      | package  | 1.2.4-14.3.1 | x86_64 | SLES12-SP2-Updates

# qtinfo allocation-failed-in_quicktime_read_info 
[core] Error: Opening failed (unsupported filetype)
Couldn't open allocation-failed-in_quicktime_read_info

I'm reassigning it back to the security-team.

already fixed by other cve fixes.
