Integer overflow in QuickLook, as used in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.7 and MobileSafari in Apple iOS before 4.2.7 and 4.3.x before 4.3.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a Microsoft Office document with a crafted size field in the OfficeArtMetafileHeader, related to OfficeArtBlip, as demonstrated on the iPhone by Charlie Miller and Dion Blazakis during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2011.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-1417 is an old Apple document-handling flaw. A crafted Microsoft Office file could crash an affected Apple application or run code when processed by QuickLook or MobileSafari. The main business concern is unmanaged legacy Apple devices still running vulnerable Mac OS X or iOS versions. Exposure is likely limited to obsolete, unpatched Apple systems: Mac OS X before 10.6.7 and iOS before 4.2.7 or 4.3.2. Modern managed fleets should mainly verify that no legacy devices remain in production. Prioritize as a legacy-risk cleanup item unless vulnerable Apple devices remain in active use. If they do, treat it as high priority because the documented impact includes remote code execution from a crafted document. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Mac OS X systems to 10.6.7 or later Apple-supported releases.; Upgrade affected iOS devices beyond 4.2.7 or 4.3.2, as applicable.; Retire Apple devices that cannot receive the relevant security updates..
