Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-04-01 15:24:52 UTC
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2011-0764 to
the following vulnerability:

t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier, as used in Xpdf before 3.02pl6 and other
products, uses an invalid pointer in conjunction with a dereference
operation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via
a crafted Type 1 font in a PDF document, as demonstrated by
testz.2184122398.pdf.

Comment 7 José Matos 2012-01-03 12:13:34 UTC
Thank you for the patch.

I am building the package with the patch now for rawhide and I will propagate the fix to F16 and F15 next.

Comment 8 José Matos 2012-01-03 13:16:35 UTC
Oops, I forgot to give you the credit for the patch in the spec file. My mistake. :-(

In order to mitigate this I added a note to the master git spec file but I will not rebuild the packages just for this change.

Jose,
This is still work is progress and there may be a few more changes to the final patch, Also we are trying to fix multiple issues in here. So i wouldnt build packages just yet.

Comment 14 José Matos 2012-01-04 11:17:04 UTC
Thank you for the heads up.

I will wait then before proceeding. :-)

Updated patch

Removed probably left-over code fragment, extended "paranoia" NULL ppoints check to the rest of checks (all are probably redundant). The patch is not completed yet.

Updated patch

Fixed crash on oversized fonts.

BTW. this patch collides with the patch for bug 692853. This one seems more complete as it at least displays an error message.

Comment 23 Jaroslav Škarvada 2012-01-12 13:34:14 UTC
Jindra, the patch in bug 692853 was my early attempt to fix CVE-2011-1552. It is now deprecated by patch from comment 17 which should address (as we believe) CVE-2011-0764, CVE-2011-1552, CVE-2011-1553 and CVE-2011-1554. I will also backport the patch to tlib-5.0.2 (which should be trivial).

Jardo, the newer patch misses these hunks from the old one:

Is it intentional? Thanks.
