Also, good to know that the suggested change in comment #1 is almost exactly what is being used to patch this in Chromium at the moment (e.g. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/third_party/freetype2.git/+/refs/heads/chromium/branch-heads/4240%5E%21/#F0 ). (Only difference being the order of imgWidth and imgHeight tests.)

I see change https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/ChangeLog?id=a3bab162b2ae616074c8877a04556932998aeacd "[sfnt] Fix heap buffer overflow (#59308)." but it seems to be just a changelog entry and doesn't seem to have the change to pnhshim.c?

Thank you for the prompt reply! I can confirm that your patch prevents the crash. Just in case, I'm attaching the same font file in a password protected zip archive (pw: infected).

Too bad that the fuzzer run by the Chrome people didn't catch that in the last few years...

For some unknown reason I'm not able to download the testcase font; however, here's a patch that should fix the issue – please test!

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists due to integer truncation in Load_SBit_Png.

VULNERABILITY DETAILS

                  &bitdepth, &color_type, &interlace,
                  NULL, NULL ); // * 1 *

[...]

    if ( populate_map_and_metrics )
    {
      metrics->width  = (FT_UShort)imgWidth; // * 2 *
      metrics->height = (FT_UShort)imgHeight;

      map->width      = metrics->width;
      map->rows       = metrics->height;
      map->pixel_mode = FT_PIXEL_MODE_BGRA;
      map->pitch      = (int)( map->width * 4 );

[...]

    if ( populate_map_and_metrics )
    {
      /* this doesn't overflow: 0x7FFF 0x7FFF 4 < 2^32 */
      FT_ULong  size = map->rows (FT_ULong)map->pitch; // ** 3 *


      error = ft_glyphslot_alloc_bitmap( slot, size ); // * 4 *
      if ( error )
        goto DestroyExit;
    }

[...]

    png_read_image( png, rows ); // * 5 *
```

A vulnerability exists in the function `Load_SBit_Png`, which processes PNG images embedded into fonts. This function:

1) Obtains the image width and height from the header as 32-bit integers.
2) Truncates the obtained values to 16 bit and stores them in a `TT_SBit_Metrics` structure.
3) Uses the truncated values to calculate the bitmap size.
4) Allocates the backing store of that size.
5) Passes `png_struct` and the backing store to a libpng function.

The issue is that libpng uses the original 32-bit values, which are saved in `png_struct`. Therefore, if the original width and/or height are greater than 65535, the allocated buffer won't be able to fit the bitmap.

I've verified that the emergency fix below breaks the proof-of-concept, but a long-term patch will require a more thorough code review:
