UTF-8 decoder capability and stress test
|
||
----------------------------------------
|
||
|

Markus Kuhn <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/> - 2015-08-28 - CC BY 4.0
|
||
|
||
This test file can help you examine, how your UTF-8 decoder handles
|
||
various types of correct, malformed, or otherwise interesting UTF-8
|
||
sequences. This file is not meant to be a conformance test. It does
|
||
not prescribe any particular outcome. Therefore, there is no way to
|
||
"pass" or "fail" this test file, even though the text does suggest a
|
||
preferable decoder behaviour at some places. Its aim is, instead, to
|
||
help you think about, and test, the behaviour of your UTF-8 decoder on a
|
||
systematic collection of unusual inputs. Experience so far suggests
|
||
that most first-time authors of UTF-8 decoders find at least one
|
||
serious problem in their decoder using this file.
|
||
|
||
The test lines below cover boundary conditions, malformed UTF-8
|
||
sequences, as well as correctly encoded UTF-8 sequences of Unicode code
|
||
points that should never occur in a correct UTF-8 file.
|
||
|
||
According to ISO 10646-1:2000, sections D.7 and 2.3c, a device
|
||
receiving UTF-8 shall interpret a "malformed sequence in the same way
|
||
that it interprets a character that is outside the adopted subset" and
|
||
"characters that are not within the adopted subset shall be indicated
|
||
to the user" by a receiving device. One commonly used approach in
|
||
UTF-8 decoders is to replace any malformed UTF-8 sequence by a
|
||
replacement character (U+FFFD), which looks a bit like an inverted
|
||
question mark, or a similar symbol. It might be a good idea to
|
||
visually distinguish a malformed UTF-8 sequence from a correctly
|
||
encoded Unicode character that is just not available in the current
|
||
font but otherwise fully legal, even though ISO 10646-1 doesn't
|
||
mandate this. In any case, just ignoring malformed sequences or
|
||
unavailable characters does not conform to ISO 10646, will make
|
||
debugging more difficult, and can lead to user confusion.
|
||
|
||
Please check, whether a malformed UTF-8 sequence is (1) represented at
|
||
all, (2) represented by exactly one single replacement character (or
|
||
equivalent signal), and (3) the following quotation mark after an
|
||
illegal UTF-8 sequence is correctly displayed, i.e. proper
|
||
resynchronization takes place immediately after any malformed
|
||
sequence. This file says "THE END" in the last line, so if you don't
|
||
see that, your decoder crashed somehow before, which should always be
|
||
cause for concern.
|
||
|
||
All lines in this file are exactly 79 characters long (plus the line
|
||
feed). In addition, all lines end with "|", except for the two test
|
||
lines 2.1.1 and 2.2.1, which contain non-printable ASCII controls
|
||
U+0000 and U+007F. If you display this file with a fixed-width font,
|
||
these "|" characters should all line up in column 79 (right margin).
|
||
This allows you to test quickly, whether your UTF-8 decoder finds the
|
||
correct number of characters in every line, that is whether each
|
||
malformed sequences is replaced by a single replacement character.
|
||
|
||
Note that, as an alternative to the notion of malformed sequence used
|
||
here, it is also a perfectly acceptable (and in some situations even
|
||
preferable) solution to represent each individual byte of a malformed
|
||
sequence with a replacement character. If you follow this strategy in
|
||
your decoder, then please ignore the "|" column.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Here come the tests: |
|
||
|
|
||
1 Some correct UTF-8 text |
|
||
|
|
||
You should see the Greek word 'kosme': "κόσμε" |
|
||
|
|
||

3 Malformed sequences |
|
||
|
|

each followed by a space character: |
|
||
|
|
||
"<22> <20> <20> <20> <20> <20> <20> <20> <20> <20> <20> <20> <20> <20> <20> <20> |

"<22> <20> " |
|
||
|
|
||
3.3 Sequences with last continuation byte missing |
|
||
|
|
||
All bytes of an incomplete sequence should be signalled as a single |
|
||
malformed sequence, i.e., you should see only a single replacement |
|
||
character in each of the next 10 tests. (Characters as in section 2) |
|
||
|
|
||
3.3.1 2-byte sequence with last byte missing (U+0000): "<22>" |
|
||
3.3.2 3-byte sequence with last byte missing (U+0000): "<22><>" |

||
3.3.3 4-byte sequence with last byte missing (U+0000): "<22><><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
3.3.4 5-byte sequence with last byte missing (U+0000): "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
3.3.5 6-byte sequence with last byte missing (U+0000): "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |

|
||
3.3.10 6-byte sequence with last byte missing (U-7FFFFFFF): "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
|
|
||
3.4 Concatenation of incomplete sequences |
|
||
|
|
||
All the 10 sequences of 3.3 concatenated, you should see 10 malformed |
|
||
sequences being signalled: |
|
||
|
|
||
"<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
|
|
||
3.5 Impossible bytes |
|
||
|
|
||
The following two bytes cannot appear in a correct UTF-8 string |
|
||
|
|
||
3.5.1 fe = "<22>" |
|
||
3.5.2 ff = "<22>" |
|
||
3.5.3 fe fe ff ff = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
|
|
||
4 Overlong sequences |
|
||
|
|
||
The following sequences are not malformed according to the letter of |
|
||
the Unicode 2.0 standard. However, they are longer then necessary and |
|
||
a correct UTF-8 encoder is not allowed to produce them. A "safe UTF-8 |
|
||
decoder" should reject them just like malformed sequences for two |
|
||
reasons: (1) It helps to debug applications if overlong sequences are |
|
||
not treated as valid representations of characters, because this helps |
|
||
to spot problems more quickly. (2) Overlong sequences provide |
|
||
alternative representations of characters, that could maliciously be |
|
||
used to bypass filters that check only for ASCII characters. For |
|
||
instance, a 2-byte encoded line feed (LF) would not be caught by a |
|
||
line counter that counts only 0x0a bytes, but it would still be |
|
||
processed as a line feed by an unsafe UTF-8 decoder later in the |
|
||
pipeline. From a security point of view, ASCII compatibility of UTF-8 |
|
||
sequences means also, that ASCII characters are *only* allowed to be |
|
||
represented by ASCII bytes in the range 0x00-0x7f. To ensure this |
|
||
aspect of ASCII compatibility, use only "safe UTF-8 decoders" that |
|
||
reject overlong UTF-8 sequences for which a shorter encoding exists. |
|
||
|
|
||
4.1 Examples of an overlong ASCII character |
|
||
|
|
||
With a safe UTF-8 decoder, all of the following five overlong |
|
||
representations of the ASCII character slash ("/") should be rejected |
|
||
like a malformed UTF-8 sequence, for instance by substituting it with |
|
||
a replacement character. If you see a slash below, you do not have a |
|
||
safe UTF-8 decoder! |
|
||
|
|
||
4.1.1 U+002F = c0 af = "<22><>" |
|
||
4.1.2 U+002F = e0 80 af = "<22><><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
4.1.3 U+002F = f0 80 80 af = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
4.1.4 U+002F = f8 80 80 80 af = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
4.1.5 U+002F = fc 80 80 80 80 af = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
|
|
||
4.2 Maximum overlong sequences |
|
||
|
|
||
Below you see the highest Unicode value that is still resulting in an |
|
||
overlong sequence if represented with the given number of bytes. This |
|
||
is a boundary test for safe UTF-8 decoders. All five characters should |
|
||
be rejected like malformed UTF-8 sequences. |
|
||
|
|
||
4.2.1 U-0000007F = c1 bf = "<22><>" |
|
||
4.2.2 U-000007FF = e0 9f bf = "<22><><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
4.2.3 U-0000FFFF = f0 8f bf bf = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
4.2.4 U-001FFFFF = f8 87 bf bf bf = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
4.2.5 U-03FFFFFF = fc 83 bf bf bf bf = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
|
|
||
4.3 Overlong representation of the NUL character |
|
||
|
|
||
The following five sequences should also be rejected like malformed |
|
||
UTF-8 sequences and should not be treated like the ASCII NUL |
|
||
character. |
|
||
|
|
||
4.3.1 U+0000 = c0 80 = "<22><>" |
|
||
4.3.2 U+0000 = e0 80 80 = "<22><><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
4.3.3 U+0000 = f0 80 80 80 = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
4.3.4 U+0000 = f8 80 80 80 80 = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
4.3.5 U+0000 = fc 80 80 80 80 80 = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
|
|
||
5 Illegal code positions |
|
||
|
|
||
The following UTF-8 sequences should be rejected like malformed |
|
||
sequences, because they never represent valid ISO 10646 characters and |
|
||
a UTF-8 decoder that accepts them might introduce security problems |
|
||
comparable to overlong UTF-8 sequences. |
|
||
|
|
||
5.1 Single UTF-16 surrogates |
|
||
|
|
||
5.1.1 U+D800 = ed a0 80 = "<22><><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
5.1.2 U+DB7F = ed ad bf = "<22><><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
5.1.3 U+DB80 = ed ae 80 = "<22><><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
5.1.4 U+DBFF = ed af bf = "<22><><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
5.1.5 U+DC00 = ed b0 80 = "<22><><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
5.1.6 U+DF80 = ed be 80 = "<22><><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
5.1.7 U+DFFF = ed bf bf = "<22><><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
|

||
5.2 Paired UTF-16 surrogates |
|
||
|
|
||
5.2.1 U+D800 U+DC00 = ed a0 80 ed b0 80 = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|

|
||
5.2.4 U+DB7F U+DFFF = ed ad bf ed bf bf = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
5.2.5 U+DB80 U+DC00 = ed ae 80 ed b0 80 = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
5.2.6 U+DB80 U+DFFF = ed ae 80 ed bf bf = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|

5.2.7 U+DBFF U+DC00 = ed af bf ed b0 80 = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
5.2.8 U+DBFF U+DFFF = ed af bf ed bf bf = "<22><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>" |
|
||
|
|
||
5.3 Noncharacter code positions |
|
||
|
|
||
The following "noncharacters" are "reserved for internal use" by |
|
||
applications, and according to older versions of the Unicode Standard |
|
||
"should never be interchanged". Unicode Corrigendum #9 dropped the |
|
||
latter restriction. Nevertheless, their presence in incoming UTF-8 data |
|
||
can remain a potential security risk, depending on what use is made of |
|
||
these codes subsequently. Examples of such internal use: |
|
||
|
|
||
- Some file APIs with 16-bit characters may use the integer value -1 |
|
||
= U+FFFF to signal an end-of-file (EOF) or error condition. |
|
||
|
|
||
- In some UTF-16 receivers, code point U+FFFE might trigger a |
|
||
byte-swap operation (to convert between UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE). |
|
||
|
|
||
With such internal use of noncharacters, it may be desirable and safer |
|
||
to block those code points in UTF-8 decoders, as they should never |
|
||
occur legitimately in incoming UTF-8 data, and could trigger unsafe |
|
||
behaviour in subsequent processing. |
|
||
|
|
||
Particularly problematic noncharacters in 16-bit applications: |
|
||
|
|
||
5.3.1 U+FFFE = ef bf be = "" |
|
||
5.3.2 U+FFFF = ef bf bf = "" |
|
||
|
|
||
Other noncharacters: |
|
||
|
|
||
5.3.3 U+FDD0 .. U+FDEF = ""|
|
||
|
|
||
5.3.4 U+nFFFE U+nFFFF (for n = 1..10) |
|
||
|
|
||
" |
|
||
" |
|
||
|
|
||
THE END |
