CVE-2020-6082: TALOS-2020-1004 || Cisco Talos Intelligence Group

An exploitable out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the ico_read function of the igcore19d.dll library of Accusoft ImageGear 19.6.0. A specially crafted ICO file can cause an out-of-bounds write, resulting in a remote code execution. An attacker needs to provide a malformed file to the victim to trigger the vulnerability.

CWE

CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound

Details

The ImageGear library is a document imaging developer toolkit providing all kinds of functionality related to image conversion, creation, editing, annotation, etc. It supports more than 100 formats, including many image formats, DICOM, PDF, Microsoft Office and others.

There is a vulnerability in the ico_read function, due to an invalid comparison check. A specially crafted ICO file can lead to an out-of-bounds write, which can result in remote code execution.

Trying to load a malformed ICO file via IG_load_file function, we end up in the following situation:

In this algorithm we can observe a function ico_read, whose objective is to copy content from buffer_3 into buffer_1, is crashing while filling the buffer buffer_1 in [1].

This copy is controlled by a do while loop [2], which terminates when the decremented variable __biWidth in [3] is 0. We can observe that the size computed for buffer_1 in [4] is controlled by integer_value, while the size of buffer_3 [7] is computed from biBitCount and biWidth.
The integer_value variable is the result of num_entries times biBitCount [5], where num_entries is computed at [6] and is a constant that is either ‘4’ or ‘2’, depending of the biBitCount value obtained from the file.

An integer overflow can happen in [4] when calculating the size for buffer_1, which is obtained by multiplying integer_value by 8:

size_buffer_1 = ((8 * integer_value + 31) >> 3) & 0xFFFFFFFC;

The overflow happens when integer_value is bigger than 0x1ffffffc, which is possible by controlling biWidth and biBitCount. If an overflow happens, the buffer buffer_1 will have a smaller size than buffer_3, leading to an out-of-bounds write during the copy at [1].

Thus by carefully manipulating biBitCount and biWidth, an attacker could exploit this memory corruption to execute arbitrary code.
