Potential heap-based buffer overflow in function t2_encode_packet in src/lib/openmj2/t2.c

[YangY-Xiao]

There are two missing checks for length in function t2_encode_packet in src/lib/openmj2/t2.c . (see #992 )

167    /* <SOP 0xff91> */
168    if (tcp->csty & J2K_CP_CSTY_SOP) {
169        c[0] = 255;
170        c[1] = 145;
171        c[2] = 0;
172        c[3] = 4;
173        c[4] = (unsigned char)((tile->packno % 65536) / 256);
174        c[5] = (unsigned char)((tile->packno % 65536) % 256);
175        c += 6;
176    }
177    /* </SOP> */

...

273    /* <EPH 0xff92> */
274    if (tcp->csty & J2K_CP_CSTY_EPH) {
275        c[0] = 255;
276        c[1] = 146;
277        c += 2;
278    }
279    /* </EPH> */

Below is the proposal patch for t2_encode_packet function.

167    /* <SOP 0xff91> */
168    if (tcp->csty & J2K_CP_CSTY_SOP) {

 +        if (length < 6) {
 +            if (p_t2_mode == FINAL_PASS) {
 +                opj_event_msg(p_manager, EVT_ERROR,
 +                              "opj_t2_encode_packet(): only %u bytes remaining in "
 +                              "output buffer. %u needed.\n",
 +                              length, 6);
 +            }
 +            return OPJ_FALSE;
 +        }

169        c[0] = 255;
170        c[1] = 145;
171        c[2] = 0;
172        c[3] = 4;
173        c[4] = (unsigned char)((tile->packno % 65536) / 256);
174        c[5] = (unsigned char)((tile->packno % 65536) % 256);
175        c += 6;
176    }
177    /* </SOP> */

...

273    /* <EPH 0xff92> */
274    if (tcp->csty & J2K_CP_CSTY_EPH) {

 +        if (length < 2) {
 +            if (p_t2_mode == FINAL_PASS) {
 +                opj_event_msg(p_manager, EVT_ERROR,
 +                              "opj_t2_encode_packet(): only %u bytes remaining in "
 +                              "output buffer. %u needed.\n",
 +                              length, 2);
 +            }
 +            return OPJ_FALSE;
 +        }

275        c[0] = 255;
276        c[1] = 146;
277        c += 2;
278    }
279    /* </EPH> */
