-Subject: [PATCH 03/40] Avoid use-after-free in dix/dixfonts.c: doImageText()
- [CVE-2013-4396] from xorg/Xserver
- http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2013-October/002332.html
-
-Save a pointer to the passed in closure structure before copying it
-and overwriting the *c pointer to point to our copy instead of the
-original. If we hit an error, once we free(c), reset c to point to
-the original structure before jumping to the cleanup code that
-references *c.
-
-Since one of the errors being checked for is whether the server was
-able to malloc(c->nChars * itemSize), the client can potentially pass
-a number of characters chosen to cause the malloc to fail and the
-error path to be taken, resulting in the read from freed memory.
-
-Since the memory is accessed almost immediately afterwards, and the
-X server is mostly single threaded, the odds of the free memory having
-invalid contents are low with most malloc implementations when not using
-memory debugging features, but some allocators will definitely overwrite
-the memory there, leading to a likely crash.
