Bug #72776 Invalid parameter in memcpy function trough openssl_pbkdf2
Submitted: 2016-08-07 14:44 UTC Modified: 2017-02-13 01:45 UTC
From: marceloje at gmail dot com Assigned: bukka (profile)
Status: Closed Package: OpenSSL related
PHP Version: 5.6.24 OS: Linux
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2016-08-07 14:44 UTC] marceloje at gmail dot com
Description:
------------
When key_length parameter is greater than 0x7fffffff, size parameter is interpreted as negative in memcpy, inside PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC function (libcrypto.so).

This issue happens only in PHP 5.6 branch. PHP 7.0 avoids this issue trough PHP_OPENSSL_CHECK_NUMBER_CONVERSION macro: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-7.0.10/ext/openssl/openssl.c#L541

Test script:
---------------
poc.php

<?php

openssl_pbkdf2("emyei", "beford", 0x100000000 - 1, 0);

Expected result:
----------------
No crash

Actual result:
--------------
ASan output:

USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 /home/operac/build2/bin/php -n poc.php

Doesn't look to me like security issue. Assigning to OpenSSL maintainer.

From the quick check, it would require very high memory limit and the app would have allow user to set key length which has very small probability IMHO. I would consider it as low severity.

If they are no objections, I will commit a fix to the public repo to 5.6 only and leave it on RM to decide if it should be ported to 5.5.

5.5 is EOL. Please feel free to commit to 5.6 and above.
