Canva Affinity Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability in EMF Processing

Vulnerability

A vulnerability allowing out-of-bounds read has been identified in Canva Affinity version 3.0.1.3808. This issue arises in the application's EMF (Enhanced Metafile Format) functionality, where a specially crafted EMF file can be used to exploit the vulnerability. The out-of-bounds read could lead to the unintended disclosure of sensitive information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for arbitrary memory reading within the process, potentially revealing sensitive information.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by opening a specially crafted EMF file in Canva Affinity. The file must be designed to exploit the EMR_POLYPOLYLINE record by manipulating the NumberOfPolylines and Count fields to create an out-of-bounds read condition. This can be done by exceeding the expected limits, causing the application to read beyond the allocated buffer and into adjacent memory.

Remediation

Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of Canva Affinity available from the Affinity website.
