Summary

Eclipse ThreadX GUIX, from 0 through 6.5.1.202602a, is affected. The GUIX binary resource loader never checks that a font page's glyph range is well formed, so a page with first_glyph greater than last_glyph makes the glyph count underflow. The unchecked size multiplication wraps to a small value, so the loader allocates a buffer too small for the glyph records it writes, a heap out-of-bounds write (CWE-787). A local attacker needs no privileges, but exploitation requires a user to load an untrusted font or theme file and needs user interaction.

Description from the CNA

The GUIX binary resource loader never checks that a font page's glyph range is well formed. `gx_page_header_first_glyph` and `gx_page_header_last_glyph` are read verbatim from the file and only the upper bound of `last_glyph` is validated, so a page declaring `first_glyph > last_glyph` makes `last - first + 1` underflow to a very large unsigned count. That count is multiplied by a glyph record size to reserve the load buffer, and the multiply is unchecked, so it wraps to a small value and the loader allocates a buffer far smaller than the data it is about to write. The load pass then recomputes the count in a narrower type and writes attacker-controlled glyph records into the undersized buffer.
