The scenario would be as follows:
Victim prerequisites:
* Internet Explorer.
* XP,Vista,W7.
* Apple Quicktime 7.x, 6.x ( 2004 versions are also vulnerable, older
versions not checked )
1. Victim is enticed into visiting, by any mean, a specially crafted
webpage.
2. Attacker's payload to be executed under the context of the browser.
3. Attacker calls his girlfriend to inform about the successful
exploitation, who indeed turns out to be very interested in the issue.
She demands more technical details.
4. Attacker wakes up.
Technical details
QTPlugin.ocx implements IPersistPropertyBag2::Read (1000E330) to handle
params received from where it is embedded, including HTML documents.
Let's take a look

Oops! programming rules state that hidden properties should be prececed
by "_" so this property matches the requirement. It's time to google
"_Marshaled_pUnk" which brings us 0 results. Apple scripting guide for
Quicktime does not even mention it. Weird.
What's is going on here?
QTPlugin.OCX checks for the existence of "_Marshaled_pUnk" within
object's attributes, if so, unmarshals it by converting the address from
its ascii representation into a numerical one ( sub_10001310 ). Then, it
uses the resulting pointer as pStm,"A pointer to the IStream interface
on the stream to be unmarshaled", CoGetInterfaceAndReleaseStream in
order to obtain the IUnknown pointer (pUnk from now on) of the
marshalled interface. This method is pretty common for sharing interface
pointers between threads within COM enabled scenarios ( e.g browsers +
plugins ).
So we are controlling an IStream pointer, which is good :)
However at this point the things didn't make sense for me. Despite of
the fact that a CPluginHost object's variable holds this pointer
(pPlugin+0x13b8), pUnk is never used,. According to the COM model, this
pointer shouldn't be used by any other thread. Why in the hell an apple
engineer implemented this? A conspiration between NSA, FSB and the
bloody Andorra's secret service may be possible but I think there must
be another explanation.
Back to the future
So I am downloading an older version of QTPlugin.ocx, which dates from
2004 (6.5.1.17), to try to explain an issue in 2010, cool.
Module: QTPlugin.ocx

pView->Draw(...)
Reversing this function we can see that, in certain cases, QTPlugin.ocx
could be instructed to draw contents onto an existing window instead of
creating a new one. Mistery solved.
However, although this functionality was removed in newer versions, the
param is still present. Why? I guess someone forgot to clean up the code .
Exploiting it
We are controlling the IStream Pointer passed to
CoGetInterfaceAndReleaseStream, at a certain point during the execution
flow of this function, an IStream method is going to be referenced.
ole32!wCoGetInterfaceAndReleaseStream -> ole32!CoUnmarshalInterface ->
ole32!ReadObjRef -> ole32!StRead < = p0wn!!
So all we need to do is emulate a fake IStream interface in memory. How?
aligned heap spray FTW!
This is how our sprayed block would look in memory

Data is sprayed in such a manner we know that, despite of ASLR, at
0xXXXXX020, 0xXXXXX420,0xXXXXX820,0xXXXXXc20 our block can be located.
As you can see a couple of gadgets are used, since this is a ROP
exploit, however esp is not controlled at all. I'm taking advantage of
common code generated by c++ compilers to control parameters and execution.
The gadgets come from Windows Live messenger dlls that are loaded by
default on IE and have no ASLR flag.

Unfortunately, due to DLL Hijacking fiasco workaround, a LoadLibrary+UNC
payload seems not very dangerous...isn't it? ;)
The exploit defeats ASLR+DEP and has been successfully tested on W7,
Vista and XP.
A metasploit module should be available soon since I sent the exploit
details to Josuah Drake some days before releasing this advisory.
