Summary

YoruFukurou (NightOwl) vulnerable to denial-of-service (DoS)

Details

YoruFukurou (NightOwl) is a Twitter client application for OS X. YoruFukurou uses OS X API CTFramesetter to render text contents. CTFramesetter has a problem in processing a certain emoji character sequence, which may cause YoruFukurou to crash. This problem was verified on OS X v10.9 (Mavericks). The developer of YoruFukurou states that the problem does not exist on OS X v10.11 (El Capitan). Ryo Ichikawa of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology reported this vulnerability to IPA. JPCERT/CC coordinated with the developer under Information Security Early Warning Partnership.

CVE-2016-4852 (GCVE-0-2016-4852)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2016-09-12 10:00 – Updated: 2024-08-06 00:46

Summary

YoruFukurou (NightOwl) before 2.85 relies on support for emoji skin-tone modifiers even though this support is missing from the CoreText CTFramesetter API on OS X 10.9, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted emoji character sequence.
