[+] References : https://packetstorm.news/files/id/213066/ &	CVE-2025-64893

[+] Summary    : This work presents a technical, research‑grade Proof of Concept (PoC) demonstrating CVE‑2025‑64893, an Out‑of‑Bounds (OOB) read vulnerability in Adobe DNG SDK versions prior to 1.7.1.2410.
                 The vulnerability is caused by a logic flaw in the rendering pipeline where a crafted but specification‑compliant DNG file creates an inconsistent plane configuration:

SamplesPerPixel = 2 → fSrcPlanes = 2

ColorMatrix1 count = 6 → fColorPlanes = 6 / 3 = 2

The SDK fails to explicitly handle the 2‑plane case in dng_render_task::ProcessArea(). As a result, execution falls into a code path intended for 4‑plane images, leading to invalid pointer arithmetic and an out‑of‑bounds heap read inside RefBaselineABCDtoRGB().

[+] Impact :

Heap out‑of‑bounds read

Reliable information disclosure

Process crash (confirmed with AddressSanitizer)

Provides a strong primitive for exploit chaining (e.g., ASLR bypass)

[+] PoC Characteristics :

Fully TIFF/DNG specification‑compliant

Correct IFD structure, offsets, and SRATIONAL data

Passes initial SDK validation and reaches the vulnerable code path

Reproducible on vulnerable SDK versions

[+] Exploit Chain Context :

The accompanying C++ code models a theoretical exploit chain (OOB read → info leak → heap grooming → UAF → ROP → RCE).
This chain is educational and conceptual, not a weaponized exploit, and is intended to illustrate how the OOB read could serve as the first step toward code execution in a real‑world scenario.

[+] Status :

Patched by Adobe in DNG SDK 1.7.1.2410

Intended strictly for defensive security research, validation, and education

[+] Conclusion :

This PoC moves beyond a crash demonstration and provides a precise, engineering‑accurate reproduction of CVE‑2025‑64893. 
It is suitable for patch verification, root‑cause analysis, fuzzing strategy improvement, and secure parser design research, 
highlighting how logic flaws in complex file formats can lead to serious memory safety issues.

/*
Compilation & Usage:

1. Save as: dng_rce_exploit.cpp

2. Compile:
   g++ -o dng_rce_exploit dng_rce_exploit.cpp -std=c++11 -ldl -no-pie

3. Run:
   ./dng_rce_exploit

Requirements in real environment:
- A real specially crafted DNG file
- Vulnerable DNG SDK (<=1.7.1)
- Disabled ASLR (for development) or valid leaks

Malicious file requirements:
- ColorMatrix tag with exactly 6 values
- Image with 2 planes only (fSrcPlanes=2)
- Data designed for heap grooming

Full attack flow:
1. Load malicious file → trigger OOB Read
2. Leak libc/heap pointers → bypass ASLR
3. Groom heap using image data
4. Exploit another UAF vulnerability
5. Write ROP chain in memory
6. Redirect execution to shellcode

Note: Example code. In production:
- Replace placeholders with real addresses
- Apply mitigations bypasses (ASLR, DEP, Stack Canaries)
- Use techniques like Heap Feng Shui
