<pre>**This is a copy of a security report, please make this bug private as soon as
possible reproduced here since it affects cairo. After that, i will submit the
test cases to reproduce it.**
Hello,
We detected a large amount of uninitialized values in the parsing and
processing of svg files using librsvg and related libraries (e.g, libcairo)
causing undefined behaviors. Some of these issues are originated in librsvg,
some in libcairo and others (libpixman maybe). I haven't found a way to
privately report these issues to the cairo developers but anyway i think you
should be aware of this, since it affects almost every program using gdk-pixbuf
(yes, including Firefox and Chromium when you try to attach a svg in Linux).
These issues were tested in a fully updated Ubuntu 14.04 (with librsvg-2.40.2
and its dependencies). Other configurations/versions are likely affected.
Please find attached some small svg files to trigger the creation and use of
initialized values. Valgrind reports are also attached. You can reproduce these
issues using a gdk-pixbuf minimum example (available here:
<a href="https://github.com/CIFASIS/QuickFuzz/blob/master/bins/gdk-pixbuf.c">https://github.com/CIFASIS/QuickFuzz/blob/master/bins/gdk-pixbuf.c</a>). These svg
are taking forever to be rendered (possible infinite loop).
DoS is not the only possible attack: we also found that it is possible to use a
state-of-the-art fuzzer, american fuzzy lop, to discover interesting crashes.
In the instrumented mode, afl will look for new "transitions" in the control
flow graph of a program. If you collect many different test cases, you can find
some interesting ways of exploit uninitialized values (specially, in the
stack). We used rsvg-convert process the test cases with the undefined behavior
and after fuzzing for a few hours, afl detected this heap overflow:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Unfortunately, such crash is difficult to reproduce in the original
rsvg-convert binary (remember that afl needs to recompile to instrumenting
binaries) but the uninitialized values are easy to spot using valgrind (such
report is also attached). Nevertheless, the possibility of finding
vulnerabilities is real and therefore these bugs should be fixed.
These test cases were found using QuickFuzz and afl.
Regards,
Gustavo.</pre>
