The function GDI32!ConvertDxArray is called with codepage 936 (ANSI/OEM Simplified Chinese [PRC, Singapore]; Chinese Simplified [GB2312]) a length of 4 (DWORDs) and a source contents containing 0x00000010 0x00000000 0x00000010 0x00000000. There are two paths in this function, one that operates on 4 byte boundaries and one that operates on 8 byte boundaries depending on the last argument where true indicates an 8-byte boundary and false indicates a 4-byte boundary. Both paths have the same issue. Pseudocode for one path in the function is:
...
else if ( (unsigned int)current < result )
{
cur_dest = (unsigned int *)dest;
cur_src = (unsigned int *)src;
do
{
dbcs_ret = IsDBCSLeadByteEx(CodePage, *current++);
dbcs_flag = dbcs_ret == 0;
tmp = *cur_src;
*cur_dest = tmp;
if ( !dbcs_flag )
{
++cur_src;
tmp = *cur_src; // crash here
++current;
*cur_dest += tmp;
}
++cur_src;
++cur_dest;
}
while ( (unsigned int)current < end );
}
The issue here is that when dbcs_flag is false the 4 byte boundary version can actually process 8 bytes of the source buffer (cur_src is incremented twice) and the 8 byte version is capable of processing 16 bytes per iteration. The length checks in this function do not verify this behavior to be in bounds. However, the most likely exploitation scenario will be a memory disclosure because cur_dest is not written to out of bounds. The value in tmp is instead added to the contents of cur_dest.
