buffer overflow in UTF8Reader for characters out of BMP
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: XERCESJ-1257
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1257
Project: Xerces2-J
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.9.0
Environment: Any
Reporter: Robert Stojnic
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.9.0
There is a ArrayOutOfBoundsException in org.apache.xerces.impl.io.UTF8Reader,
in read(char[],int,int) for 4-byte utf-8 chars.
Imagine a following scenario. read() has a buffer of size N, and it reads N-1
ascii chars, and stores it in the output buffer. Let the Nth char be the first
byte of a 4 byte utf-8 char. The other 3 bytes are fetched by invoking read()
on the input stream. From these a surrogate pair of java chars is made,
however, method does not check if both chars can fit into the output buffer ...
In most cases, they would fit into the ouput buffer (e.g. if there are some
other multi-byte chars in the fetched text), so the bug is very rare, but it
still happens.
