Adam,

If you look at the valgrind output from the above reproducer, there is an invalid read and an invalid write on the heap, which really seems to be user controllable. Looking at the code the issue is in pixman/pixman-edge.c:

210                 WRITE (image, ap + lxi,
211                        clip255 (READ (image, ap + lxi) + rxs - lxs));

This leads me to conclude that there could be a possible of arbitrary user-controlled code execution. (which means i need to raise the impact to important etc). Was wondering if you could take a look and let me know if you think otherwise?

I'm not especially familiar with this part of pixman, but I can't rule this out from a quick read.  I'd play it safe and raise the impact.

Comment 6 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2013-12-17 04:18:44 UTC
After closer investigation of this issue, it seems that arbitrary code execution via user controlled data may be possible in this particular flaw.
