Description Adam Mariš 2015-10-07 14:42:37 UTC
An integer truncation flaw leading to a heap-based buffer overflow was found in ImageMagick in pict.c. 

Detailed stacktrace with reproducer can be found here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/imagemagick/+bug/1448803

Upstream patch for the pict.c problem is a subsection (the pict.c part) of the following commit:
https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/commit/0f6fc2d5bf8f500820c3dbcf0d23ee14f2d9f734

Comment 1 Adam Mariš 2015-10-07 14:46:01 UTC
Created ImageMagick tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1269567]

Comment 2 Stefan Cornelius 2015-10-08 13:26:51 UTC
Upstream patch for the pict.c problem is a subsection (the pict.c part) of the following commit:
https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/commit/0f6fc2d5bf8f500820c3dbcf0d23ee14f2d9f734

When calculating the amount of bytes per row, the result is truncated down to unsigned short.
> row_bytes=(unsigned short) (image->columns | 0x8000);
or
> row_bytes=(unsigned short) ((4*image->columns) | 0x8000);


This truncated value is later used to allocate the scanline memory (if image->columns is big, the resulting row_bytes value may turn out to be too small):
> scanline=(unsigned char *) AcquireQuantumMemory(row_bytes,sizeof(*scanline));

Finally, we calculate pointers into the scanline buffer via:
>        red=scanline;
>        green=scanline+image->columns;
>        blue=scanline+2*image->columns;
>        opacity=scanline+3*image->columns;

Notice that when calculating e.g. "blue", the original, non-truncated image->columns value is taken, possibly leading to out-of-bounds writes when trying to write pixels into the scanline buffer.
