Description probefuzzer 2018-01-13 09:34:17 UTC
On 1.12.0 (the latest version):
there is an infinite loop and application hang in the pdf_parse_array function (source/pdf/pdf-parse.c), which could be triggered by the POC with command: mutool draw $POC

Looking into the pdf_parse_array function (source/pdf/pdf-parse.c), we found that the "while(1)" loop terminates only when the program encountered a PDF_TOK_CLOSE_ARRAY token. However, the tokens could be manipulated by a crafted pdf file, and an infinite loop happens when PDF_TOK_CLOSE_ARRAY does not appear. 

Recommended fix: the program should terminate when "EOF" token is encountered. Therefore, we recommend adding following statements around line 404. 
    case PDF_TOK_EOF:
        goto end;

The code segment is:
    361 pdf_parse_array(fz_context *ctx, pdf_document *doc, fz_stream *file, pdf_lexbuf *buf)
    362 {
    ...
    373         fz_try(ctx)
    374         {
    375                 while (1)
    376                 {
    377                         tok = pdf_lex(ctx, file, buf);
    ...
    402                         switch (tok)
    403                         {
    404                         case PDF_TOK_CLOSE_ARRAY:
    405                                 op = ary;
    406                                 goto end;
    ...
    462                         }
    463                 }
    464 end:
    465                 {}
    466         }
    ...
    472         return op;
    473 }
