Soumettre #818197: LibreDWG libredwg (including the dwgbmp utility) 0.13.4.8160 Buffer Overflow

Vuln: LibreDWG dwgbmp R2004 Heap Buffer Overflow
Project: LibreDWG/libredwg (https://github.com/LibreDWG/libredwg)
Version: Vulnerable at commit 6d6a33987a1a97095b069c799c3d8a793320f812, fixed by commit 8f03865f37f5d4ffd616fef802acc980be54d300
Date: 2026-05-02
Severity: MEDIUM
OWASP: N/A - Native File Parsing Memory Corruption
CWE: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds Write

Affected File
src/decode.c (R2004 compressed section decompression path)
programs/dwgbmp.c (trigger path via crafted DWG input)
Root Cause
LibreDWG does not sufficiently validate the destination address and copy size while processing R2004 compressed sections from a crafted DWG file. In the vulnerable commit, malformed metadata can cause an out-of-bounds heap access during decompression. The public issue reports the crash as a heap-buffer-overflow in bit_read_RC(), while local reproduction with the same PoC and vulnerable commit also reaches an AddressSanitizer crash in read_2004_compressed_section() during memcpy.

The vendor fix adds missing boundary checks before copying decompressed data:

if (info->compressed == 2 || bytes_left < 0
+ || es.fields.address > max_decomp_size
|| es.fields.address + size > max_decomp_size
+ || es.fields.address + size > dec.size
|| offset + size > dat->size)

Steps to Reproduce
git clone https://github.com/LibreDWG/libredwg.git libredwg-vuln
cd libredwg-vuln
git checkout 6d6a33987a1a97095b069c799c3d8a793320f812

Impact
A crafted DWG file can trigger an out-of-bounds heap access in dwgbmp, causing a process crash and resulting in denial of service. Any workflow or application that automatically parses attacker-controlled DWG files with the vulnerable LibreDWG code path may also be affected.

Recommended Fix
Apply the upstream fix from commit 8f03865f37f5d4ffd616fef802acc980be54d300, which adds proper decompression boundary validation before copying data. The fix prevents malformed DWG metadata from writing outside the intended heap buffer.

It is also advisable to keep AddressSanitizer-enabled testing for malformed DWG samples in regression coverage for the R2004 decompression path.

Notes
This issue should be described as distinct from the earlier publicly known LibreDWG issue associated with CVE-2025-61154 and GitHub issue #1180. The present report concerns GitHub issue #1248, vulnerable commit 6d6a33987a1a97095b069c799c3d8a793320f812, and the upstream fix commit 8f03865f37f5d4ffd616fef802acc980be54d300.
