Sec Bug #71498 Out-of-Bound Read in phar_parse_zipfile()
Submitted: 2016-02-02 16:48 UTC Modified: 2016-03-02 06:38 UTC
From: manhluat at vnsecurity dot net Assigned: stas (profile)
Status: Closed Package: PHAR related
PHP Version: 5.5.32 OS: Unix
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
There is a flaw was found in PHAR's phar_parse_zipfile() function.


--------------------------------
ext/phar/zip.c:

int phar_parse_zipfile(php_stream *fp, char *fname, int fname_len, char *alias, int alias_len, phar_archive_data** pphar, char **error) /* {{{ */
{
	phar_zip_dir_end locator;
	char buf[sizeof(locator) + 65536];
...
	while ((p=(char *) memchr(p + 1, 'P', (size_t) (size - (p + 1 - buf)))) != NULL) {
		if (!memcmp(p + 1, "K\5\6", 3)) {
			memcpy((void *)&locator, (void *) p, sizeof(locator));
			if (PHAR_GET_16(locator.centraldisk) != 0 || PHAR_GET_16(locator.disknumber) != 0) {
				/* split archives not handled */
				php_stream_close(fp);
				if (error) {
					spprintf(error, 4096, "phar error: split archives spanning multiple zips cannot be processed in zip-based phar \"%s\"", fname);
				}
				return FAILURE;
			}
...

--------------------------------

Sizeof(buf) equals 0x10016 (0x16 (sizeof[locator]) plus 65536)

The above code block tries to determine where is "PK\x05\x06" in buf. it is actually "End of central directory record" structure of zip file (https://users.cs.jmu.edu/buchhofp/forensics/formats/pkzip.html). Then it copies 0x16 bytes  from there to `phar_zip_dir_end locator`. 

What if "PK\x05\x06" signature is located at end of `buf` variable, it will read out-of-bound `buf` variable to copy to `locator`.

You can see details of debugging below.

* Note:
- PHP5 and PHP7 latest version are vulnerable.
- Works on Linux, Mac, Windows as well. I think
- It is possible to memory leak, crash, etc.


`poc.zip` can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4qNn6UEDAR-V2ptcGlUR01DTjA/view?usp=sharing





Test script:
---------------

<?php 
$p = new PharData($argv[1]);
?>

Actual result:
--------------
You can see that I print out `p`,`locator`,`buf`,.. to let you imagine the stack layout. Finally, `locator` contains some pointer, memory, blah blah.
