Microsoft DirectWrite / AFDKO - Multiple Bugs in OpenType Font Handling Related to the "post" Table
Код:
-----=====[ Background ]=====-----
AFDKO (Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType) is a set of tools for examining, modifying and building fonts. The core part of this toolset is a font handling library written in C, which provides interfaces for reading and writing Type 1, OpenType, TrueType (to some extent) and several other font formats. While the library existed as early as 2000, it was open-sourced by Adobe in 2014 on GitHub [1, 2], and is still actively developed. The font parsing code can be generally found under afdko/c/public/lib/source/*read/*.c in the project directory tree.
At the time of this writing, based on the available source code, we conclude that AFDKO was originally developed to only process valid, well-formatted font files. It contains very few to no sanity checks of the input data, which makes it susceptible to memory corruption issues (e.g. buffer overflows) and other memory safety problems, if the input file doesn't conform to the format specification.
We have recently discovered that starting with Windows 10 1709 (Fall Creators Update, released in October 2017), Microsoft's DirectWrite library [3] includes parts of AFDKO, and specifically the modules for reading and writing OpenType/CFF fonts (internally called cfr/cfw). The code is reachable through dwrite!AdobeCFF2Snapshot, called by methods of the FontInstancer class, called by dwrite!DWriteFontFace::CreateInstancedStream and dwrite!DWriteFactory::CreateInstancedStream. This strongly indicates that the code is used for instancing the relatively new variable fonts [4], i.e. building a single instance of a variable font with a specific set of attributes. The CreateInstancedStream method is not a member of a public COM interface, but we have found that it is called by d2d1!dxc::TextConvertor::InstanceFontResources, which led us to find out that it can be reached through the Direct2D printing interface. It is unclear if there are other ways to trigger the font instancing functionality.
One example of a client application which uses Direct2D printing is Microsoft Edge. If a user opens a specially crafted website with an embedded OpenType variable font and decides to print it (to PDF, XPS, or another physical or virtual printer), the AFDKO code will execute with the attacker's font file as input. Below is a description of one such security vulnerability in Adobe's library exploitable through the Edge web browser.
-----=====[ Description ]=====-----
The readCharset() function in afdko/c/public/lib/source/cffread/cffread.c is called from cfrBegFont(), the main entry point for parsing an input OpenType/CFF font by the "cfr" (CFF Reader) component of AFDKO. At the beginning of the function, it handles variable CFF2 fonts:
--- cut ---
2138 if (h->header.major == 2) {
2139 postRead(h);
2140 if (h->cff2.mvar)
2141 MVARread(h);
2142 if (!(h->flags & CID_FONT))
2143 readCharSetFromPost(h);
2144 else {
2145 long gid;
2146 for (gid = 0; gid < h->glyphs.cnt; gid++) {
2147 abfGlyphInfo *info = &h->glyphs.array[gid];
2148 info->cid = (unsigned short)gid;
2149 }
2150 }
2151 return;
2152 }
--- cut ---
In this report, we are most interested in lines 2139 and 2143, i.e. the calls to postRead() and readCharSetFromPost(). The postRead() routine is responsible for processing the "post" optional SFNT table, extracting the glyph names that it contains and copying them into the internal engine structures. Let's analyze some of its most important parts:
--- cut ---
1960 if (h->flags & CID_FONT)
1961 return; /* Don't read glyph names for CID fonts */
1962
1963 if (h->post.format != 0x00020000) {
1964 buildGIDNames(h);
1965 return;
1966 }
--- cut ---
In order to pass the two checks, the font must not be CID-keyed and the "post" table format must be 2.0. Then, the number of glyphs described by the table is loaded, and if it's inconsistent with the font's number of glyphs, a warning message is printed.
--- cut ---
1975 /* Parse format 2.0 data */
1976 numGlyphs = read2(h);
1977 if (numGlyphs != h->glyphs.cnt)
1978 message(h, "post 2.0: name index size doesn't match numGlyphs");
--- cut ---
Then, the function proceeds to fill out three internal objects: h->post.fmt2.glyphNameIndex (a dynamic array of "unsigned short", containing indexes into "strings"), h->post.fmt2.strings (a dynamic array of string pointers) and h->post.fmt2.buf (a dynamic array of characters, storing the textual data pointed to by "strings"). One very peculiar feature of the function is that upon encountering invalid input data, it flips the "post" table format to 0x00000001 (even though it was originally 0x00020000) and returns with success:
--- cut ---
2026 parseError:
2027 /* We managed to read the header but the rest of the table had an error that
2028 prevented reading some (or all) glyph names. We set the the post format
2029 to a value that will allow us to use the header values but will prevent
2030 us from using any glyph name data which is likely missing or invalid */
2031 h->post.format = 0x00000001;
2032 }
--- cut ---
While the message explains the developer's intention quite well, it is not factually correct, as the above post format doesn't prevent the code from using glyph name data later on.
The "parseError" label can be reached from four different locations, each of them being the result of a failed sanity check:
--- cut ---
1968 if (invalidStreamOffset(h, table->offset + table->length - 1)) {
1969 message(h, "post: table truncated");
1970 goto parseError;
1971 }
[...]
1982 if (length < numGlyphs * 2) {
1983 message(h, "post 2.0: table truncated (table ignored)");
1984 goto parseError;
1985 }
[...]
1993 if (nid > 32767) {
1994 message(h, "post 2.0: invalid name id (table ignored)");
1995 goto parseError;
[...]
2015 if (p > end) {
2016 message(h, "post 2.0: invalid strings");
2017 goto parseError;
2018 }
--- cut ---
Executing the goto statements in lines 1995 and 2017 may lead to inconsistent program state. Here is what may happen:
- When line 1995 executes, the "glyphNameIndex" object has "numGlyphs" elements, but some of them may be uninitialized, and the "strings" and "buf" arrays are empty.
- When line 2017 executes, the "strings" array may be shorter than "glyphNameIndex" (because "strCount" may be smaller than "numGlyphs", as counted by the array in lines 1990-1998), and it may be only partially initialized.
Knowing that the above conditions may be achieved, let's analyze the second function of interest, readCharSetFromPost(). A majority of its body only executes if the CFR_IS_CFF2 flag is not set, which is not the case for us (remember that the input font must be a CFF2 one):
--- cut ---
2060 static void readCharSetFromPost(cfrCtx h) {
2061 Offset offset;
2062 unsigned long i;
2063 long gid;
2064 char *p;
2065 long lenStrings = ARRAY_LEN(stdstrs);
2066
2067 if (!(h->flags & CFR_IS_CFF2)) {
[...]
2111 }
[...]
--- cut ---
This leaves us with the following loop at the end:
--- cut ---
2113 for (gid = 0; gid < h->glyphs.cnt; gid++) {
2114 abfGlyphInfo *info = &h->glyphs.array[gid];
2115 info->gname.ptr = post2GetName(h, (SID)gid);
2116 }
--- cut ---
For each glyph in the font, the loop tries to initialize the glyph's gname.ptr pointer with the address of its textual name. To obtain the address, the following post2GetName() function is used:
--- cut ---
1819 /* Get glyph name from format 2.0 post table. */
1820 static char *post2GetName(cfrCtx h, SID gid) {
1821 if (gid >= h->post.fmt2.glyphNameIndex.cnt)
1822 return NULL; /* Out of bounds; .notdef */
1823 else if (h->post.format != 0x00020000)
1824 return h->post.fmt2.strings.array[gid];
1825 else {
1826 long nid = h->post.fmt2.glyphNameIndex.array[gid];
1827 if (nid == 0)
1828 return stdstrs[nid]; /* .notdef */
1829 else if (nid < 258)
1830 return applestd[nid];
1831 else if (nid - 258 >= h->post.fmt2.strings.cnt) {
1832 return NULL; /* Out of bounds; .notdef */
1833 } else
1834 return h->post.fmt2.strings.array[nid - 258];
1835 }
1836 }
--- cut ---
This is the last piece of the puzzle and the place where most of the problem resides. Between lines 1821-1824, the code makes two significant assumptions:
- That the h->post.fmt2.strings array is as long as h->post.fmt2.glyphNameIndex, i.e. if "gid < h->post.fmt2.glyphNameIndex.cnt" then it is safe to access h->post.fmt2.strings.array[gid].
- That the h->post.fmt2.strings array is fully initialized.
Now as we saw before, neither of these assumptions must be true: the "strings" array may be shorter (or completely empty) than "glyphNameIndex", and it may be partially uninitialized due to an early exit from postRead(). Breaking the assumptions may lead to the following:
- A NULL pointer dereference in line 1824, since an empty "strings" object has a near-NULL "array" value,
- Returning an uninitialized chunk of memory as the address of the glyph name,
- Returning an out-of-bounds chunk of memory as the address of the glyph name.
In the 2nd and 3rd case, the invalid gname.ptr value is later referenced when building the output file, for example in glyphBeg (cffwrite/cffwrite_t2cstr.c) if the output format is CFF:
--- cut ---
243 (info->gname.ptr == NULL || info->gname.ptr[0] == '\0')) {
--- cut ---
Considering that the vulnerability may allow writing a string from a potentially controlled address in the process address space to the output file, we classify it as an information disclosure flaw.
-----=====[ Lesser bugs ]=====-----
There are two less significant bugs in the creation of the C strings array in postRead(). Let's analyze the following loop again:
--- cut ---
2005 /* Build C strings array */
2006 dnaSET_CNT(h->post.fmt2.strings, strCount);
2007 p = h->post.fmt2.buf.array;
2008 end = p + length;
2009 i = 0;
2010 for (i = 0; i < h->post.fmt2.strings.cnt; i++) {
2011 length = *(unsigned char *)p;
2012 *p++ = '\0';
2013 h->post.fmt2.strings.array[i] = p;
2014 p += length;
2015 if (p > end) {
2016 message(h, "post 2.0: invalid strings");
2017 goto parseError;
2018 }
2019 }
2020 *p = '\0';
2021 if (p != end)
2022 message(h, "post 2.0: string data didn't reach end of table");
2023
2024 return; /* Success */
2025
2026 parseError:
2027 /* We managed to read the header but the rest of the table had an error that
2028 prevented reading some (or all) glyph names. We set the the post format
2029 to a value that will allow us to use the header values but will prevent
2030 us from using any glyph name data which is likely missing or invalid */
2031 h->post.format = 0x00000001;
2032 }
--- cut ---
The issues are as follows:
- It is possible to set a glyph name in h->post.fmt2.strings.array[i] (line 2013) to a pointer just outside the h->post.fmt2.buf.array allocation (i.e. equal to the value of the "end" pointer). This is due to the fact that the check in line 2015 only verifies that "p" doesn't go significantly outside the buffer, but allows it to be exactly on the verge of it (one byte after). This may later lead to the disclosure of out-of-bounds heap memory.
- If the error branch in lines 2015-2018 is taken, the last initialized string in the h->post.fmt2.strings array won't be nul-terminated, which also may disclose data from adjacent heap chunks.
-----=====[ Proof of Concept ]=====-----
There are three proof of concept files, poc_null_deref.otf, poc_uninit.otf and poc_oob.otf. They trigger crashes as a result of a NULL pointer dereference, use of uninitialized memory and an out-of-bounds memory read, respectively.
The malformed values are as follows:
- In poc_null_deref.otf, the first "nid" is 65535 (larger than 32767), causing the goto statement in line 1995 to be executed, which leaves h->post.fmt2.strings empty.
- In poc_uninit.otf, the length of the first string on the list is declared as 255, which exceeds the length of the overall "post" table. This causes postRead() to bail out early in cffread.c:2017, with only h->post.fmt2.strings.array[0] having been initialized, but not array[1] or array[2]. However the latter two values are still returned as valid glyph names by post2GetName(). Later on, this leads to a crash while trying to read from address 0xbebe..be, with 0xbe being ASAN's uninitialized memory marker.
- In poc_oob.otf, we set numGlyphs to 60 (i.e. the length of the h->post.fmt2.glyphNameIndex) array, but set the "nid" values such that strCount (i.e. the length of h->post.fmt2.strings) equals 50. All 50 string lengths are set to 0 except for the last one, which is set to 255, exceeding the size of the "post" table. This causes the "goto" in line 2017 to be taken, setting the post table format to 0x00000001. At a later stage of the font parsing, post2GetName() is called with gid=0, 1, ... 49, 50, 51, 52, and so forth. When "gid" reaches 50, the "gid >= h->post.fmt2.glyphNameIndex.cnt" condition is not met and "h->post.format != 0x00020000" is, so the function ends up accessing the out-of-bounds value at h->post.fmt2.strings.array[50].
The uninitialized memory case doesn't affect Microsoft DirectWrite, as its own allocation function returns zero-ed out memory.
