TITLE:
Apple iTunes Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA31824

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31824/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
iTunes 7.x
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/12131/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Apple iTunes, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow in a bundled
third-party driver and may be exploited to execute arbitrary code
with escalated privileges on a Windows system.

NOTE: A misleading firewall warning dialog has also been reported
when iTunes Music Sharing has been configured to be blocked on Mac OS
X. The dialog will incorrectly state that unblocking iTunes Music
Sharing does not affect the firewall's security.

SOLUTION:
Upgrade to version 8.0.
