Subject: libwmf integer/heap overflow
Sorry I don't have time to chase down multiple email addresses of alleged
developers; so here this is after weeks of no response. POC is not attached
unlike advisory says. It's not very difficult to exploit.

Subject:
libwmf integer/heap overflow
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Product:
libwmf is a library for reading vector images in Microsøft's native Windøws
Metafile Format (WMF) and for either (a) displaying them in, e.g., an X window;
or (b) converting them to more standard/open file formats such as, e.g., the
W3C's XML-based Scaleable Vector Graphic (SVG) format.
http://wvware.sourceforge.net/libwmf.html
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vulnerable:
I tested the most recent release, 0.2.8.4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Summary:
An integer overflow in memory allocation leads to a heap overflow.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Details:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
file: src/meta.c +117
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wmf_error_t wmf_header_read (wmfAPI* API)
{ U16 u16a;
U16 u16b;
...snip...
if (API->File->wmfheader->HeaderSize == 9)
{ API->File->wmfheader->Version = wmf_read_16 (API);
API->File->wmfheader->FileSize = wmf_read_32 (API,0,0);
API->File->wmfheader->NumOfObjects = wmf_read_16 (API);
1] API->File->wmfheader->MaxRecordSize = wmf_read_32 (API,0,0);
API->File->wmfheader->NumOfParams = wmf_read_16 (API);
1) This value is taken directly from the wmf file, later it will be used
to allocate memory. It is not sanitized at any point.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
file: src/player.c +86
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wmf_error_t wmf_scan (wmfAPI* API,unsigned long flags,wmfD_Rect* d_r)
{ wmfPlayer_t* P = (wmfPlayer_t*) API->player_data;
...snip...
wmf_header_read (API);
...snip...
1]
/* P->Parameters = (unsigned char*) wmf_malloc (API,(MAX_REC_SIZE
(API)-3) * 2 * sizeof (unsigned char)); */ P->Parameters = (unsigned
char*) wmf_malloc (API,(MAX_REC_SIZE(API) ) * 2 * sizeof (unsigned
char)); /* HOLE */
WmfPlayMetaFile (API);
1) Overflow the calculation.
**************************
static wmf_error_t WmfPlayMetaFile (wmfAPI* API)
{ int i;
int byte;
int changed;
unsigned char* Par;
...snip...
1] Par = P->Parameters;
...snip...
number = 0;
do
{ if (++number < API->store.count)
{ atts = API->store.attrlist + number;
}
else
{ atts = &attrlist;
wmf_attr_clear (API, atts);
}
2] Size = wmf_read_32 (API,0,0);
Function = wmf_read_16 (API);
if ((Size == 3) && (Function == 0))
{ if (SCAN (API)) wmf_write (API, Size, Function,
"empty", atts->atts, 0, 0);
break; /* Probably final record ?? */
}
/* if ((Size > MAX_REC_SIZE (API)) || (Size < 3))
*/ if (((Size - 3) > MAX_REC_SIZE (API)) || (Size < 3))
{ WMF_ERROR (API,"libwmf: wmf with bizarre record size;
bailing..."); WMF_ERROR (API," please send it to us at
http://www.wvware.com/"); wmf_printf (API,"maximum record size = %u\n",
(unsigned) MAX_REC_SIZE (API)); wmf_printf (API,"record size = %u\n",(unsigned)
Size); API->err = wmf_E_BadFormat;
break;
}
pos_params = WMF_TELL (API);
if (pos_params < 0)
{ WMF_ERROR (API,"API's tell() failed on input stream!");
API->err = wmf_E_BadFile;
break;
}
3] for (i = 0; i < ((Size - 3) * 2); i++)
{ byte = WMF_READ (API);
if (byte == (-1))
{ WMF_ERROR (API,"Unexpected EOF!");
API->err = wmf_E_EOF;
break;
}
Par[i] = (unsigned char) byte; /* VECTOR */
}
1) Points to the memory we allocated above.
2) Controls the number of bytes we write into the buffer.
3) Overflow the buffer by arbitrarily huge amounts.

Mitigating factors:
None.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Workaround:
Do not open up untrusted wmf files.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Notes:
libwmf is used by:
wv
abiword
freetype
gimp
libgsf
imagemagick
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Exploits:
POC is provided that crashes in free(). The easiest way to test is to use the
example conversion programs that come with libwmf, they are found in the
src/convert/.libs directory:
sean@...ra:~/libwmf-0.2.8.4/src/convert/.libs$ gcc -Wall exwmf.c
sean@...ra:~/libwmf-0.2.8.4/src/convert/.libs$ ./a.out > evil.wmf
sean@...ra:~/libwmf-0.2.8.4/src/convert/.libs$ gdb wmf2x
GNU gdb 6.3-debian
(gdb) r evil.wmf
