Microsoft Font Subsetting - DLL Heap Corruption in ComputeFormat4CmapData
Код:
-----=====[ Background ]=====-----

The Microsoft Font Subsetting DLL (fontsub.dll) is a default Windows helper library for subsetting TTF fonts; i.e. converting fonts to their more compact versions based on the specific glyphs used in the document where the fonts are embedded. It is used by Windows GDI and Direct2D, and parts of the same code are also found in the t2embed.dll library designed to load and process embedded fonts.

The DLL exposes two API functions: CreateFontPackage and MergeFontPackage. We have developed a testing harness which invokes a pseudo-random sequence of such calls with a chosen font file passed as input. This report describes a crash triggered by a malformed font file in the fontsub.dll code through our harness.

-----=====[ Description ]=====-----

We have encountered the following crash in fontsub!ComputeFormat4CmapData:

--- cut ---
(284c.42b4): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.

The root cause of the crash seems to be the fact that the MergeFormat4Cmap() function may allocate a 0-sized buffer and pass it to ComputeFormat4CmapData() in the second argument, but the ComputeFormat4CmapData() function assumes that the buffer is at least 8 bytes long, and unconditionally writes two 32-bit values of -1 and 1 into it.

The issue reproduces on a fully updated Windows 10 1709; we haven't tested earlier versions of the system. In order to observe the crash, the PageHeap feature must be enabled in Application Verifier for the FontSub client process, preferably with the "/unaligned" and "/size 0 1" options. Attached are 3 proof of concept malformed font files which trigger the crash.
