FreeType 2.5.3 CFF hintmap building stack-based arbitrary out-of-bounds write #190

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
There is a vulnerability in the CFF CharString interpreter used by FreeType 
2.5.3 (the Adobe CFF rasterizer contributed to the project in June 2013, see 
[1]), which makes it possible for a specially crafted OpenType file to perform 
arbitrary out-of-bounds writes on the interpreter function stack. This in turn 
makes it possible to create a font file which takes over the program control 
flow and reliably executes arbitrary code included in the input file.

Interestingly, this is not a new bug, but a variant of CVE-2014-2241 which I 
reported on February 24th, 2014 here: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?41697. 
As it turns out, the fix submitted in commit 
0eae6eb0645264c98812f0095e0f5df4541830e6 [2] is not sufficient to entirely 
close the loophole. Attached are several testcases which reach the vulnerable 
"cf2_hintmap_build" function through a different code path 
("cf2_glyphpath_moveTo" instead of directly from "cf2_interpT2CharString"). 
This makes it possible to bypass the original fix, because the if() statement 
in cf2hints.c:778 never executes, thus leading to the processing a 
"hStemHintArray" object longer than the maximum 96 allowed entries.

The issue has been reproduced with the current version of freetype2 from master 
git branch, with a 64-bit build of the ftbench utility compiled with 
AddressSanitizer:

$ ftbench <file>

I believe the immediate reason why the problem still exists today is that the 
following TODO comment in cf2hints.c:797 has still not been resolved, while in 
my opinion it should have been:

796:    /* use the hStem hints only, which are first in the mask */
797:    /* TODO: compare this to cffhintmaskGetBitCount */
798:    bitCount = cf2_arrstack_size( hStemHintArray );

If it was, the fix would be effective and couldn't be bypassed to cause a 
stack-based non-continuous buffer overflow anymore.

Below is an example AddressSanitizer report illustrating the problem:

All fixed by upstream:

FreeType 2.5.5

2014-12-30
FreeType 2.5.5 has been released. This is a minor bug fix release: All users of 
PCF fonts should update, since version 2.5.4 introduced a bug that prevented 
reading of such font files if not compressed.

FreeType 2.5.4

2014-12-06
FreeType 2.5.4 has been released. All users should upgrade due to another fix 
for vulnerability CVE-2014-2240 in the CFF driver. The library also contains a 
new round of patches for better protection against malformed fonts.

The main new feature, which is also one of the targets mentioned in the pledgie 
roadmap below, is auto-hinting support for Devanagari and Telugu, two widely 
used Indic scripts. A more detailed description of the remaining changes and 
fixes can be found here.
