Description Adam Mariš 2016-11-22 14:26:15 UTC
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in FLIC decoder in flx_decode_delta_fli() function.

Vulnerable code:

 flx_decode_delta_fli (GstFlxDec * flxdec, guchar * data, guchar * dest)
{
...
  /* use last frame for delta */
  memcpy (dest, flxdec->delta_data, flxdec->size);

  start_line = (data[0] + (data[1] << 8));
  lines = (data[2] + (data[3] << 8));
  data += 4;

  /* start position of delta */
  dest += (flxdec->hdr.width * start_line);
  start_p = dest;

  while (lines--) {
    /* packet count */
    packets = *data++;

    while (packets--) {
      /* skip count */
      dest += *data++;

      /* RLE count */
      count = *data++;

      if (count > 0x7f) {
...
      } else {
        /* replicate run */
        while (count--)
          *dest++ = *data++;

The above function is called via a FLX_LC command in the input file. At the time of the call, dest points to the start of the output canvas buffer, e.g. 8 x 8 pixels and always 1 byte per pixel. data points to attacker controlled data from the raw input file. Due to lack of bounds checking against the canvas width and height, attacker can achieve out-of-bounds write via multiple paths.

Comment 3 Dhiru Kholia 2016-11-23 08:08:57 UTC
Mitigation:

This mitigation is only required if vulnerable gstreamer-plugins-good and/or gstreamer1-plugins-good packages are installed.

For RHEL 7,

sudo rm /usr/lib*/gstreamer-1.0/libgstflxdec.so
sudo rm /usr/lib*/gstreamer-0.10/libgstflxdec.so

For RHEL 5 and RHEL 6,

sudo rm /usr/lib*/gstreamer-0.10/libgstflxdec.so

Please note that this mitigation deletes the vulnerable FLI/FLC/FLX animation demuxer file(s), which removes the functionality to play FLI/FLC/FLX animation files.
