Integer overflow in the check_offset function in b/wrestool/fileread.c in icoutils before 0.31.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (process crash) and execute arbitrary code via a crafted executable.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4695-1 advisory.

    Choongwoo Han discovered that icoutils incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5208)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It was discovered that icoutils incorrectly handled memory when processing certain files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could cause icoutils to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Choongwoo Han reports :

An exploitable crash exists in the wrestool utility on 64-bit systems where the result of subtracting two pointers exceeds the size of int.

This update for icoutils to version 0.31.1 fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2017-5208: An integer overflow allows maliciously     crafted files to cause DoS or code execution     (boo#1018756).

  - CVE-2017-5331: Incorrect out of bounds checks in     check_offset allow for DoS or code execution     (boo#1018756).

  - CVE-2017-5332: Missing out of bounds checks in     extract_group_icon_cursor_resource allow for DoS or code     execution (boo#1018756).

  - CVE-2017-5333: Incorrect out of bounds checks in     check_offset allow for DoS or code execution     (boo#1018756).

This new point release fixes a security vulnerability in wrestool. For further details see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=850017

Brief introduction 

CVE-2017-5208

Choongwoo Han reported[0] an exploitable crash in wrestool from icoutils. The command line tools is e.g. used in KDE's metadataparsing.

CVE-2017-5331

It turned out that the correction for CVE-2017-5208 was not enough so an additional correction was needed.

CVE-2017-5332

But as I see it there are still combinations of the arguments which make the test succeed even though the the memory block identified by offset size is not fully inside memory total_size.

CVE-2017-5333

The memory check was not stringent enough on 64 bit systems.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.29.1-5deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your icoutils packages.

Several programming errors in the wrestool tool of icoutils, a suite of tools to create and extract MS Windows icons and cursors, allow denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed binary is parsed.
