There's an integer overflow issue in sanity checking section lengths when parsing the vcdiff format (used in SDCH content encoding). This results in the parser parsing outside of sane memory bounds when parsing the contents of a vcdiff window - see attached crash PoC.

(/src/sdch/open-vcdiff/src/headerparser.cc)

bool VCDiffHeaderParser::ParseSectionLengths(
    bool has_checksum,
    size_t* add_and_run_data_length,
    size_t* instructions_and_sizes_length,
    size_t* addresses_length,
    VCDChecksum* checksum) {
  ParseSize("length of data for ADDs and RUNs", add_and_run_data_length); //     <---- user controlled
  ParseSize("length of instructions section", instructions_and_sizes_length); // <---- user controlled
  ParseSize("length of addresses for COPYs", addresses_length); //               <---- user controlled
  if (has_checksum) {
    ParseChecksum("Adler32 checksum value", checksum);
  }
  if (RESULT_SUCCESS != return_code_) {
    return false;
  }
  if (!delta_encoding_start_) {
    VCD_DFATAL << "Internal error: VCDiffHeaderParser::ParseSectionLengths "
                  "was called before ParseWindowLengths" << VCD_ENDL;
    return_code_ = RESULT_ERROR;
    return false;
  }
  const size_t delta_encoding_header_length =
      UnparsedData() - delta_encoding_start_;
  if (delta_encoding_length_ !=
          (delta_encoding_header_length +
           *add_and_run_data_length +
           *instructions_and_sizes_length +
           *addresses_length)) {  //                     <---- Integer overflow here (32-bit systems only)
    VCD_ERROR << "The length of the delta encoding does not match "
                 "the size of the header plus the sizes of the data sections"
              << VCD_ENDL;
    return_code_ = RESULT_ERROR;
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}

These returned lengths are subsequently used to initialise length-checked buffer objects for continuing the parsing (vcdecoder.cc:1024) 

size_t add_and_run_data_length = 0;
  size_t instructions_and_sizes_length = 0;
  size_t addresses_length = 0;
  if (!header_parser->ParseSectionLengths(has_checksum_,
                                          &add_and_run_data_length,
                                          &instructions_and_sizes_length,
                                          &addresses_length,
                                          &expected_checksum_)) {
    return header_parser->GetResult();
  }
  if (parent_->AllowInterleaved() &&
    // snip...
  } else {
    // If interleaved format is not used, then the whole window contents
    // must be available before decoding can begin.  If only part of
    // the current window is available, then report end of data
    // and re-parse the whole header when DecodeChunk() is called again.
    if (header_parser->UnparsedSize() < (add_and_run_data_length +
                                         instructions_and_sizes_length +
                                         addresses_length)) {
      return RESULT_END_OF_DATA;
    }
    data_for_add_and_run_.Init(header_parser->UnparsedData(),
                               add_and_run_data_length);
    instructions_and_sizes_.Init(data_for_add_and_run_.End(),
                                 instructions_and_sizes_length); 
    addresses_for_copy_.Init(instructions_and_sizes_.End(), addresses_length);

This issue only affects 32-bit builds, since ParseSize is parsing a positive int32_t; on 64-bit builds it cannot be large enough to wrap a size_t.

It's unclear if this is exploitable as a browser-process infoleak; the results of SDCH decoding will be returned to a renderer process, but the way that the returned values are used mean that it is likely that the process will have to survive reads at opposite ends of the address space, which *should* be guaranteed to crash with a 2:2 address space split. It is possible that on 32-bit Windows with a 1:3 address space split this can be survived, or with careful crafting of the input file these reads can be avoided; I've not investigated further at this point.

It appears to be necessary to host the PoC on a legitimate domain; as localhost is not supported for SDCH.
