A flaw was found in dmg2img through 20170502. dmg2img did not validate the size of the read buffer during memcpy() inside the main() function. This possibly leads to memory layout information leaking in the data. This might be used in a chain of vulnerability in order to reach code execution.

Description Cedric Buissart 2021-05-11 20:15:09 UTC
dmg2img did not validate the size of the read buffer during memcpy() inside the main() function. This possibly leads to memory layout information leaking in the data. This might be used in a chain of vulnerability in order to reach code execution.

The vulnerability appears at the following code :

```
memcpy(parts[i].Data, base64data + 0xCC, parts[i].BlocksRunCount * 0x28);
```


An attacker could request a specially crafted DMG image to be converted by the dmg2img command. The attacker has the ability to control the size of the memcpy(), via `parts[i].BlocksRunCount` thus forcing an OOB read, and memory information to be written in the parts[i].Data allocation, or possibly crashing the command.
