Description
When dealing with op_callothersubr, arg_cnt is defined as an integer. arg_cnt is read from decoder->stack, which could be set to 0xfea50000 by charstring "fb ef". And this will bypass stack checking. Then "top -= arg_cnt" will make top points to data outside of decoder->stack. Actually it points to decoder->parse_callback.
This vulnerability was actually addressed by Apple in Mac OS X v10.6.8/Security Update 2011-004, but a fix was never pushed to iOS. Its CVE identifier is CVE-2011-0202.
