We have encountered a number of Windows kernel crashes in the win32k!itrp_IUP function (a handler of the IUP[] TTF program instruction) while processing corrupted TTF font files, such as:
 
---
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
Invalid system memory was referenced.  This cannot be protected by try-except,
it must be protected by a Probe.  Typically the address is just plain bad or it
is pointing at freed memory.
Arguments:
Arg1: ff6895b8, memory referenced.
Arg2: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
Arg3: 91f4a4f1, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory
    address.
Arg4: 00000000, (reserved)

Depending on the malformed font file, the crashes occur at various locations in the win32k!itrp_IUP function, such as:
 
win32k!itrp_IUP+141: test    [esi+edx], cl
win32k!itrp_IUP+173: test    [eax+edx], cl
win32k!itrp_IUP+17b: mov     eax, [ecx+ebx*4]
win32k!itrp_IUP+184: mov     ecx, [ecx]
win32k!itrp_IUP+213: mov     eax, [ebx]
win32k!itrp_IUP+2c9: mov     eax, [eax+esi*4]
win32k!itrp_IUP+2fb: mov     [edx+esi*4], eax
win32k!itrp_IUP+317: add     [eax+esi*4], edx
 
This is caused by the fact that the function operates (reads from and writes to) on memory well beyond of the dynamically allocated buffers, leading to a pool-based buffer overflow of controlled size and content, consequently allowing for remote code execution in the context of the Windows kernel.
 
It appears that the culprit of the vulnerability is the lack of handling of a corner case explicitly mentioned in the "The TrueType Instruction Set, Part 2" specification [1]:
 
"This instruction operates on points in the glyph zone pointed to by zp2. This zone should almost always be zone 1. Applying IUP to zone 0 is an error."
 
Every testcase we have examined contains an SZP2[] instruction ("Set Zone Pointer 2") with a 0 argument followed by the IUP[] instruction later on in the TTF program. The faulty instruction stream has the same outcome regardless of its location (i.e. font pre-program, glyph program etc.).
 
The issue reproduces on Windows 7 and 8.1. It is easiest to reproduce with Special Pools enabled for win32k.sys (leading to an immediate crash when the bug is triggered), but it is also possible to observe a crash on a default Windows installation in the form of a crash in win32k!itrp_IUP or another location in kernel space, as caused by the corrupted pool state, depending on the specific testcase used.
 
Attached is an archive with eight sample files, each crashing at a different location in the win32k!itrp_IUP function on Windows 7 32-bit, together with corresponding kernel crash logs.
