Topic :

pdflib long filename multiple bufferoverflows

SecurityAlert : 3495

CVE : CVE-2007-6561

SecurityRisk : Medium Security Risk Medium

(About)

Remote Exploit : No

Local Exploit : Yes

Exploit Given : Yes

Credit : poplix

Published : 28.12.2007

Affected Software :

PDFLib PDFLib 7.0.2

Advisory Text :

hi,
pdflib, a library for generating PDF on the fly, avilable at http://
www.pdflib.com, is vulnerable to multiple bufferoverflows due to a
misuse of strcpy().
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code or to
crash the application that uses the library.
One of the vulnerable functions is pdc_fsearch_fopen() that is
called, for example, by PDF_load_image() which overflows a stack
buffer if a long filename is provided.
The php wrapper for pdflib (pecl extension) is also vulnerable so
please take care of allowing users to generate custom pdfs from webapps.

this is a proof-of-concept that crashes php:
<?php
.....
PDF_load_image($p,"jpeg",str_repeat("A",1100), null);

?>

The developers have been warned and they plained to fix those bugs in
the next release.

cheers,
