    Description

      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      openjdk version "9.0.1"
      OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9.0.1+11)
      OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.1+11, mixed mode)

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Ubuntu Linux 64-bit

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      The ImageReader com.sun.imageio.plugins.png.PNGImageReader throws a NegativeArraySizeException when attempting to read malformed PNG image files that contain tEXt sections containing keywords that are larger than the length of the tEXt chunk.

      The PNG specification defines a tEXt chunk as follows: Upto 80 bytes of a null-terminated "keyword" followed by a textual section of length N: the total length of the chunk, say chunkLength, should be N + keyword.length() + 1. Therefore, the textual section contains N = chunkLength - keyword.length() - 1 bytes, and N must be greater or equal to zero.

      However, when keyword.length() >= chunkLength, the PngImageReader calculates N to be a negative value and attempts to allocate a negative-sized array for the textual section, resulting in a NegativeArraySizeException to be thrown in parse_tEXt_chunk(). Instead, an IOException should be thrown as the PNG input is malformed if a null byte is not found within tEXt chunk length.


      A suggested fix is to replace this line in PngImageReader#parse_tEXt_chunk():
        byte[] b = new byte[chunkLength - keyword.length() - 1];

      with:
        int n = chunkLength - keyword.length() - 1;
        if (n < 0 || keyword.length() == 80) {
           throw new IIOException("tEXt chunk length is smaller than keyword size");
        }
        byte[] b = new byte[n];

      The second condition is required because reading in the keyword with `readNullTerminatedString("ISO-8859-1", 80)` does not guarantee that a null byte has been read; the chunk is still malformed if 80 non-null bytes are read in the beginning of the chunk.

      This bug was found using AFL.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Compile and run the test program attached below.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      An IOException should be thrown (e.g. javax.imagio.IIOException).
      ACTUAL -
      A java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException is thrown.
