From: The FreeBSD Project
Bug: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2014-9862
Subject: CVE-2014-9862 - check for a negative value on numbers of bytes
The implementation of bspatch does not check for a negative value on numbers
of bytes read from the diff and extra streams, allowing an attacker who
can control the patch file to write at arbitrary locations in the heap.
.
bspatch's main loop reads three numbers from the "control" stream in
the patch: X, Y and Z. The first two are the number of bytes to read
from "diff" and "extra" (and thus only non-negative), while the
third one could be positive or negative and moves the oldpos pointer
on the source image. These 3 values are 64bits signed ints (encoded
somehow on the file) that are later passed the function that reads
from the streams, but those values are not verified to be
non-negative.
.
