CVE-2018-12293
Description
The getImageData function in the ImageBufferCairo class in WebCore/platform/graphics/cairo/ImageBufferCairo.cpp in WebKit, as used in WebKitGTK+ prior to version 2.20.3 and WPE WebKit prior to version 2.20.1, is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow triggered by an integer overflow, which could be abused by crafted HTML content.

WebkitGTK+ 2.20.3 - 'ImageBufferCairo::getImageData()' Buffer Overflow (PoC)
# Exploit Title: WebkitGTK+ 2.20.3 - 'ImageBufferCairo::getImageData()' Buffer Overflow (PoC)
# Date: 2018-08-15
# Exploit Author: PeregrineX
# Vendor Homepage: https://webkitgtk.org/ & https://webkit.org/wpe/
# Software Link: https://webkitgtk.org/releases/ & https://wpewebkit.org/releases/
# Version: <2.20.3 (GTK+) <2.20.1 (WPE)
# Tested on: WebKitGTK+ 2.20.2
# CVE : CVE-2018-12293
# SUMMARY:
# getImageData() in ImageBufferCairo.cpp multiplies rect.width() * rect.height() * 4
# without any overflow checks. If result is larger than UINT_MAX,
# heap-based buffer overflow via integer overflow will occur,
# which could be exploited further.
# Works on WebKitGTK+ <2.20.3 and WPE WebKit <2.20.1
# Credit to ADlab of Venustech for originally finding this vulnerability.
Vulnerable Code (Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/cairo/ImageBufferCairo.cpp):
template <AlphaPremultiplication premultiplied>
RefPtr<Uint8ClampedArray> getImageData(const IntRect& rect, const IntRect& logicalRect, const ImageBufferData& data, const IntSize& size, const IntSize& logicalSize, float resolutionScale)
{
auto result = Uint8ClampedArray::createUninitialized(rect.width() * rect.height() * 4);
if (!result)
return nullptr;
