Description:
------------
PHP VERSION
-----------------------
./sapi/cli/php --version
PHP 7.2.0-dev (cli) (built: Sep  2 2016 18:11:16) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.1.0-dev, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies


PROOF-OF-CONCEPT FILE
-----------------------
Posted in the "Test script" section.


CONFIGURE LINE
-----------------------
./configure --with-gd --with-webp-dir --enable-static --enable-cli --disable-shared --disable-all


OTHER INFORMATION
-----------------------
Before compile the php source code, we must install libwebp first. The proof-of-concept file I supplied may consume lots of memory. To reproduce this issue more quickly, please run the command "export USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0" in terminal to disable ZEND heap management.


STACKTRACE
-----------------------
Posted in the "Actual result" section.


VULNERABILITY DETAILS
-----------------------
This is an integer overflow issue which could lead to heap buffer overflow (out-of-bounds write) circumstances. The bad code lies in function gdImageWebpCtx of file gd_webp.c. At line 123 we can see the following code.

argb = (uint8_t *)gdMalloc(gdImageSX(im) * 4 * gdImageSY(im));  // integer overflow!!!

There is no overflow check before calling the gdMalloc function. Actually, an integer overflow can be happened here. For example, 0x8000 * 0x8001 * 4 = 0x100020000 -> Overflow -> 0x20000. The buffer will be overflowed in the following for-loop.

for (y = 0; y < gdImageSY(im); y++) {
    for (x = 0; x < gdImageSX(im); x++) {
        register int c;
        register char a;
        c = im->tpixels[y][x];
        a = gdTrueColorGetAlpha(c);
        if (a == 127) {
            a = 0;
        } else {
            a = 255 - ((a << 1) + (a >> 6));
        }
        *(p++) = gdTrueColorGetRed(c);    // heap buffer overflow!!!
        *(p++) = gdTrueColorGetGreen(c);  // heap buffer overflow!!!
        *(p++) = gdTrueColorGetBlue(c);   // heap buffer overflow!!!
        *(p++) = a;    // heap buffer overflow!!!
    }
}


SIMPLE PATCH
-----------------------
Add the following code before line 123. In other words, call function overflow2 to check if overflow exists or not before calling function gdMalloc.

if (overflow2(gdImageSX(im), 4)) {
    return NULL;
}

if (overflow2(gdImageSX(im) * 4, gdImageSY(im))) {
    return NULL;
}


CREDIT
-----------------------
This vulnerability was discovered by Ke Liu of Tencent's Xuanwu LAB.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
    ini_set('memory_limit', -1);
    $im = imagecreatetruecolor(0x8000, 0x8001);
    imagewebp($im, 'php.webp');
    imagedestroy($im);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Exit quietly.

Actual result:
--------------

To correct the patch code: just return when overflow was detected.

if (overflow2(gdImageSX(im), 4)) {
    return ;
}

if (overflow2(gdImageSX(im) * 4, gdImageSY(im))) {
    return ;
}

It seems that this issue did not get fixed in PHP 7. The following patch should be work for PHP 5.

If the bug already reported upstream (libgd), I think they should have a CVE assigned. What's the upstream bug number?

For libgd there only was a PR: <https://github.com/libgd/libgd/pull/296>.

Thanks. I'll submit a issue for libgd later. I will notify you if a CVE number has been assigned.
