Subject: [PATCH] libxfont: CVE-2017-13720, CVE-2017-13722
Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2017 18:28:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1509553729-22718-1-git-send-email-catalin.enache@windriver.com> (raw)

In the PatternMatch function in fontfile/fontdir.c in libXfont through 1.5.2
and 2.x before 2.0.2, an attacker with access to an X connection can cause
a buffer over-read during pattern matching of fonts, leading to information
disclosure or a crash (denial of service). This occurs because '\0'
characters are incorrectly skipped in situations involving ? characters.

In the pcfGetProperties function in bitmap/pcfread.c in libXfont through 1.5.2
and 2.x before 2.0.2, a missing boundary check (for PCF files) could be used
by local attackers authenticated to an Xserver for a buffer over-read, for
information disclosure or a crash of the X server.

+Subject: [PATCH] Check for end of string in PatternMatch (CVE-2017-13720)
+
+If a pattern contains '?' character, any character in the string is skipped,
+even if it is '\0'. The rest of the matching then reads invalid memory.

+Subject: [PATCH] pcfGetProperties: Check string boundaries (CVE-2017-13722)
+
+Without the checks a malformed PCF file can cause the library to make
+atom from random heap memory that was behind the `strings` buffer.
+This may crash the process or leak information.
