[Technical Summary]
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is possible to trigger an exploitable buffer overflow condition
by creating a specially crafted .funhouse file.





[Technical Details]
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Funhouse application does not properly parse XML data.
Specifically it is possible to create a specially crafted .funhouse
file that will trigger and exploit a buffer overflow condition. The
code responsible for the condition is as follows:

// render origin handles using AppKit directly
- - (CIImage *)drawPoints:(CIImage *)im
{
...
~    NSString *str, *str2, *localizedParameter;
...

~        else if ([type isEqualToString:@"image"])
~        {
~            // image effect stack element
~            // show an image origin (in its center)
~            CGRect r = [[es imageAtIndex:i] extent];
~            NSPoint offset = [es offsetAtIndex:i];
~            pt.x = offset.x + (r.origin.x + r.size.width * 0.5);
~            pt.y = offset.y + (r.origin.y + r.size.height * 0.5);
~            str = [[es filenameAtIndex:i] stringByAppendingString:@"
center"];
~            [self drawPoint:pt label:str intoContext:cg];
~        }

}

The following code is called by the code referenced above:

/*
~    Drawing
*/

// draw an onscreen handle for an image origin, text origin, or filter point
// the handle is a "center symbol" - a circle with crosshairs through it.
// the handle is labelled with the string "str".
// all items are "shadowed"
- - (void)drawPoint:(NSPoint)pt label:(NSString *)str
intoContext:(CGContextRef)cg
{
...
~    char cstr[256];
...
~    if (!movingNow)
~    {
~        [str getCString:cstr];  <-- Vulnerability Exists Here


[Fix]
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
To fix the issue the [str getCString:cstr]; needs to be replaced with
[str getCString:cstr maxLength:254]; to prevent overflows.


- -       [str getCString:cstr];
+       [str getCString:cstr maxLength:254];
