The attached PNG file crashes for me in Firefox (built from mozilla-central 4bf430d990e5).

crashes on same address on windows: bp-2084589a-45fa-48cf-87a7-27de52131211

Comment 2

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

From the crashing line I'm assuming palette is null, and that the offset read can be controlled by the size of the image. Can it be arbitrarily large in an attempt to read from some valid section of memory? But if the loop is going to wind down toward zero eventually then maybe this is a guaranteed crash and not a useful information disclosure.

Comment 3

[Glenn Randers-Pehrson]

A zero-length or NULL PLTE chunk should reach pngset.c line 535 which triggers a "benign error", that is treated in libpng-1.6.7 by default as a warning. I'm seeing the crash on Ubuntu (64-bit) with the current nightly (2013-12-10, 29.0a1, using the bundled libpng-1.6.7 in media/libpng).  It seems that this is a libpng design error that will need to be fixed upstream.  Meanwhile, I'm testing a mozilla patch that simply

changes line 530 of pngset.c from 
png_chunk_report(png_ptr, "Invalid palette", PNG_CHUNK_ERROR);
to
png_chunk_error(png_ptr, "Invalid palette");

Firefox 25.0.1-Ubuntu does not appear to have the bug.

Attachment: v00-945912 fix handling of incorrect palette length in pngset.c

Current mozilla-central with the v00 patch does not crash on my Ubuntu platform.  It ignores the empty PLTE chunk and displays the image.  There's no libpng warning because we suppress them.

Comment 5

[Glenn Randers-Pehrson]

The bug was introduced to mozilla-central by checkin of libpng-1.6.6, bug #841734, on 26 September 2013.
I think this means that Firefox 27.0 is vulnerable and Firefox 26.0 and earlier are not. Libpng is planning to release the bugfix, in version 1.6.8, on Thursday 19 December 2013.  I have reported the libpng vulnerability to CERT (Tracking ID VRF#HP4TV3J2).

BTW, are the dates in https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases all off by one year?

png_ptr->palette is always initialized to zero by png_create_read_struct().
"sp" is a png_byte, so "*sp" is in the range 0-255.  The size of the image
controls where "sp" is read from (a valid location in the row data), but reading
from "*sp" (NULL dereference of png_ptr->palette which is a png_colorp struct that
has three one-byte entries, red, green, and blue) is always in the range 0-767.

That range should still be safe for reading and not provide an opportunity to read valid memory for malicious purposes. Opening up the bug, thanks for the analysis! :)

Comment 8

[Glenn Randers-Pehrson]

This bug is CVE-2013-6954 and VU#650142.  It can be fixed either by applying the v00 patch or by upgrading libpng to version 1.6.8, or both.  I'll open a separate bug to upgrade libpng.

Comment 9

[Glenn Randers-Pehrson]

Needs try server run.  If applied, this will bit rot the libpng-1.6.8 patch slightly.

try server results look pretty good, all green except for one timeout that I can't tell was related to this patch.

Not at all.

we can take this up to release so it will ride along with the 27.0.1 dot release going to build today.

I'll push this to aurora/beta in a little bit with some other uplifts.

Comment 20

[Glenn Randers-Pehrson]

The v00 patch may not have been tested with PR_LOGGING undefined, and it's likely that it won't build
with PR_LOGGING undefined because png_chunk_error() gets defined out of pngerror.c.  If that happens, the fix is to use png_error() instead of png_chunk_error().  In libpng-1.6.9 we are using png_error(); see bug #952505.  I think PR_LOGGING is always set (via FORCE_PR_LOGGING) in the public Firefox releases, so this problem may not happen.

Comment 21

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

Is it worth adding a test for this?
