#MOZ-2021-0001: Buffer overflow in depth pitch calculations for compressed textures

Reporter

Abraruddin Khan and Omair working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative

Impact

critical

Description

In the Angle graphics library, depth pitch computations did not take into account the block size and simply multiplied the row pitch with the pixel height. This caused the load functions to use a very high depth pitch, reading past the end of the user-supplied buffer. This issue has been assigned a temporary identifier, pending assignment of a CVE. References

Bug 1676636

Forgot to add: no changes in js/src, only firefox needs to be upgraded to fix this.
