Hello,

this email is a notification from the Auto Upgrade Helper
that the automatic attempt to upgrade the recipe(s) *libxfont2* to *2.0.9* has Succeeded.

Next steps:
    - apply the patch: git am 0001-libxfont2-upgrade-2.0.8-2.0.9.patch
    - check the changes to upstream patches and summarize them in the commit message,
    - compile an image that contains the package
    - perform some basic sanity tests
    - amend the patch and sign it off: git commit -s --reset-author --amend
    - send it to the appropriate mailing list

Alternatively, if you believe the recipe should not be upgraded at this time,
you can fill RECIPE_NO_UPDATE_REASON in respective recipe file so that
automatic upgrades would no longer be attempted.

Please review the attached files for further information and build/update failures.
Any problem please file a bug at https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Automated%20Update%20Handler

Regards,
The Upgrade Helper

    fserve: bounds-check cumulative glyph data writes in fs_read_glyphs

    fs_read_glyphs() copies each glyph's bitmap into a single allbits
    buffer allocated to rep->nbytes bytes. The per-glyph guard validates
    only that the source slice (position, length) lies within the pbitmaps
    source buffer. It does not check whether the running destination cursor
    has exceeded the allocation.

    A malicious font server can send overlapping source offsets (e.g. 1000
    glyphs each referencing {position:0, length:64} with nbytes=64). Each
    individual source range passes validation, but the cumulative writes
    total 64000 bytes into a 64-byte destination buffer.

    Interestingly there was an unconditional debug printf in place that
    sort-of warned about this but didn't prevent this. Let's remove that and
    instead use the actual check to bail out before we run OOB.

    A regression test is included that sends 100 glyphs each referencing
    the same 64-byte source slice into a 64-byte destination buffer, and
    verifies the library rejects the overflow.

    fserve: validate num_chars against encoding array size in fs_read_glyphs

    FS_QueryXExtents16 causes us to allocate the encoding[] array, later
    during the FS_QueryXBitmaps16 reply handling we fill in that array.
    There is no verification that the allocation is large enough, a
    malicious font server could send us a small numExtents and a
    large num_chars to force underallocation and OOB read/rwrite.

    A regression test is included that constructs a crafted
    FS_QueryXBitmaps16 reply with num_chars > num_encoding and verifies
    the library rejects it.
