Vulnerability Details

During our research on advancecomp, we found invalid memory address in function adv_png_unfilter_8 ( ) at file png.c. The same can be triggered by sending a crafted abc file to the binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact when a victim opens a specially crafted file.

SYNOPSIS

As per our research we observed that the vulnerability exists in function adv_png_unfilter_8( ) at file png.c . The function adv_png_read_rns( ),which reads an image from memory which is in png format and invokes the function adv_png_read_ihdr (),which reads a part of chunk image from PNG_CN_IHDR to the chunk from the main in PNG_CN_IEND . This function invokes adv_png_unfilter_8( ) which unfilters a 8 bit image of width, height, data and size of row. When a crafted file is passed to the binary advpng in function adv_png_unfilter_8( ) at unsigned char f = *p++;p += width;The value of width is being assigned to p. The value of f is 0 and p is having a value at address while incrementing the p value the vulnerability is being triggered as invalid memory access.

Vulnerable code


for(i=0;i less than height;++i) {
        unsigned char f = *p++;
          if (f == 0) { /* none */
            p += width;
}
