Abstract

========
There are integer overflows present in the CID-keys font parser as

supplied with both XFree86 and X11R7.0.  This can potentially lead

to arbitrary code execution.  These vulnerabilities can be triggered

by a user parsing untrusted CID encoded Type 1 fonts.
These vulnerabilities have been assigned CVE references CVE-2006-3739

and CVE-2006-3740.
Technical Details

=================
There are two separate integer overflows that are present:
* scan_cidfont() function when handling 'CMap' and 'CIDFont' font data.

* CIDAFM() function when handling AFM (Adobe Font Metric) files
Both vulnerabilities can potentially lead to arbitrary code execution.
Solutions and Workarounds

=========================
While X11R7.0 from X.Org is in both the HEAD and netbsd-4 branches it

is currently not integrated fully into the base distribution.  No NetBSD

releases contain X11R7.0 binaries and as such it is not necessary to

rebuild anything from source.  The instructions below will patch the

relevant X11R7.0 source files so that if users are experimenting with

X11R7.0 it will contain the necessary security fixes.
A possible temporary workaround for this issue is to disable Type 1

fonts in your X Server configuration.  To do this under the Modules

section of the X Server configuration file comment out the line

containing:
	Load "type1"
For X.Org the configuration file will be xorg.conf and for XFree86

it will be XF86config.  This may impact the appearance of applications

run in X Windows.
XFree86-based X servers are included in the NetBSD base distribution,

and will need to be rebuilt.  The following instructions describe how

to upgrade your XFree86 binaries by updating your source tree and

rebuilding and installing a new version of XFree86.
* NetBSD-current:
	Systems running NetBSD-current dated from before 2006-09-13
