Summary

The setAttr function in Graphite 2 before 1.3.6, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.6.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Graphite smart font.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    descriptionUpdated firefox packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox. Multiple security flaws were found in the graphite2 font library shipped with Firefox. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2016-1521, CVE-2016-1522, CVE-2016-1523) All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Firefox version 38.6.1 ESR, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user.

    descriptionThe version of Mozilla Firefox ESR installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 38.6.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities in the Graphite 2 library : - An overflow condition exists in the Context Item functionality due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted Graphite smart font, to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

    descriptionThe version of Mozilla Firefox ESR installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 38.6.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities in the Graphite 2 library : - An overflow condition exists in the Context Item functionality due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted Graphite smart font, to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1523) - An out-of-bounds write error exists in the setAttr() function that is triggered when handling maliciously crafted fonts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1969)

    descriptionMozilla Foundation reports : Security researcher Holger Fuhrmannek and Mozilla security engineer Tyson Smith reported a number of security vulnerabilities in the Graphite 2 library affecting version 1.3.5. The issue reported by Holger Fuhrmannek is a mechanism to induce stack corruption with a malicious graphite font. This leads to a potentially exploitable crash when the font is loaded. Tyson Smith used the Address Sanitizer tool in concert with a custom software fuzzer to find a series of uninitialized memory, out-of-bounds read, and out-of-bounds write errors when working with fuzzed graphite fonts. Security researcher James Clawson used the Address Sanitizer tool to discover an out-of-bounds write in the Graphite 2 library when loading a crafted Graphite font file. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2016:0197 : Updated firefox packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox. Multiple security flaws were found in the graphite2 font library shipped with Firefox. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2016-1521, CVE-2016-1522, CVE-2016-1523) All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Firefox version 38.6.1 ESR, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
