Subject: [PATCH] Fix overflows in IndexRange storage.

IndexRange stores mStart and mCount (instead of mEnd) as uint32_t.
mCount will overflow when the end index is UINT_MAX, this can happen
when primitive restart is disabled making UINT_MAX a valid index.

Also fix an invalid cast of IndexRange::end to a signed 32-bit integer
in ValidateDrawElementsCommon.

The test for this behaviour, WebGLCompatibilityTest.LargeIndexRange, had
a bug and did not call glVertexAttribPointer causing validation to fail
earlier due to buffer being bound to the attribute.

Also universally limit the max element index to UINT_MAX - 1 to protect
against incorrect math assuming draw count can fit in a 32-bit integer.

Original Bug Report

reported by ra...@gmail.com

Integer wrap in ANGLE IndexRange allows WebGL OOB vertex fetch

VULNERABILITY DETAILS

The IndexRange(uint32_t start, uint32_t end) constructor at third_party/angle/src/common/mathutil.h:875 computes mCount = end - start + 1. For IndexRange(0, 0xffffffff) this wraps to 0 and isEmpty() returns true.

ValidateDrawElementsCommon at validationES.h:1116 uses isEmpty() to gate both maxElementIndex and ValidateDrawAttribs. A WebGL1 drawElements(GL_POINTS, 2, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0) with OES_element_index_uint enabled and element-array buffer {0, 0xffffffff} is therefore accepted even though the second index is out of range for the bound vertex-attribute buffer. Primitive restart is off in WebGL1, so 0xffffffff reaches ComputeTypedIndexRange as a real index.

The OOB vertex fetch reaches the GPU. On ANGLE Vulkan backends whose physical device does not enable robustBufferAccess (the ES2_Vulkan_SwiftShader configuration Chromium ships for conformance testing is one such), this causes a GPU process SIGSEGV at the address (0xffffffff * stride) mod 2^32 past the bound vertex buffer. With WebGL side spray to cover the 4 GiB region past the bound VBO, readPixels returns 16 bytes of attacker placed GPU process memory.

VERSION

Chrome Version: 147.0.7727.102 stable Operating System: Multi-platform, ANGLE code. Directly verified on: macOS 26.4, Apple M1 Windows 11, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU Ubuntu 24.04 x86_64

REPRODUCTION CASE

To see the bypass directly at JS level, open poc.html in Chrome on a backend where ANGLE runs its manual buffer-access validation.

On macOS (Apple Silicon), the default backend is already such a backend. Just open the file:

open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app poc.html

On Windows, the default backend is D3D11 which masks the OOB. Use –use-angle=d3d9 to get an observable backend:

chrome.exe –use-angle=d3d9 –user-data-dir=C:\tmp\chrome-d3d9 path\to\poc.html

Expected output on an observable backend:

all_max_control=INVALID_OPERATION indices=[0xffffffff] min_max_wrap_probe=NO_ERROR indices=[0x0,0xffffffff] RESULT=SUSPICIOUS: mixed 0/UINT_MAX bypassed where all-UINT_MAX was rejected

On Windows D3D11/GL/Vulkan and on in-browser SwiftShader, both calls return NO_ERROR. The bypass still fires inside ANGLE; the resulting OOB is masked by the driver’s robust buffer access.

To verify the memory safety consequence on the non-robust path that Chrome ships for its own conformance tests, apply poc.patch and run:

autoninja -C out/Test angle_unittests angle_end2end_tests ./out/Test/angle_unittests –gtest_filter=Utilities.IndexRanges xvfb-run -a ./out/Test/angle_end2end_tests
–gtest_filter=WebGLDrawElementsTest.MixedUintMaxIndexRangeIsNotEmpty/ES2_Vulkan_SwiftShader

The unit test fails because isEmpty() returns true for the full uint range. The end to end test under an is_asan=true build produces an AddressSanitizer DEADLYSIGNAL whose register state has rdx = r8 = r9 = 0xfffffff4 = (0xffffffff * 12) mod 2^32. The attacker supplied index becomes the wrapped vertex fetch byte offset.
