Subject: Apple CoreGraphics (Preview) Memory Corruption Vulnerability -
 CVE-2010-1801

Dear List,


I'm writing on behalf of the Check Point Vulnerability Discovery Team to publish the following vulnerability.

Apple CoreGraphics (Preview) Memory Corruption when parsing PDF files
CVE-2010-1801


INTRODUCTION

Apple Preview.app is the default application used in Apple MacOS systems in order to visualize PDF files and does not properly parse PDF files, which leads to memory corruption when opening a malformed file with an invalid size on JBIG2 structure at offset 0x2C1 as in PoC Repro1.pdf or offset 0x2C5 as in PoC Repro2.pdf (both values trigger the same vulnerability).

This problem was confirmed in the following versions of Apple Preview and MacOS, other versions may be also affected.

Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Server as well)
Apple Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Server as well)
Apple Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Server as well)
Apple Mac OS X 10.6.4 (Server as well)

CVSS Scoring System

The CVSS score is: 9
	Base Score: 10
	Temporal Score: 9
We used the following values to calculate the scores:
	Base score is: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
	Temporal score is: E:POC/RL:U/RC:C


TRIGGERING THE PROBLEM

This vulnerability can be triggered by creating an invalid JBIG2 structure in two different ways.

The problem is triggered by PoCs available to interested parts which causes invalid memory access in all the refered versions.
