Sec Bug #78338 Array cross-border reading/global variable coverage in PCRE
Submitted: 2019-07-28 04:17 UTC Modified: 2019-07-29 22:01 UTC
From: 3556158925 at qq dot com Assigned: stas (profile)
Status: Closed Package: PCRE related
PHP Version: 7.3.8 OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2019-07-28 04:17 UTC] 3556158925 at qq dot com
Description:
------------
Get the lastest version of PHP:
git clone https://github.com/php/php-src

Configure PHP:
./configure
PCRE is the default extension in PHP, even if use "./configure --disable-all",
you can still trigger the following bugs.

The test script is very easy:
<?php
$fuzz=file_get_contents($argv[1]);
preg_match($fuzz,$fuzz);

The input file you can download here:
http://47.104.189.187/input.zip
Unzip this file and use the "input_file.txt" as input file

Then
./php-src/sapi/cli/php ./test.php ./input_file.txt
you will see "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

Use gdb to see the details:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000555555710367 in do_extuni_no_utf (args=0x7fffffffa110, 
    cc=0x7ffff3a58868 "\377\066\250\250\250\066\066\066zzzz=*\377/\n")
    at /home/daige/Desktop/test/php-src/ext/pcre/pcre2lib/pcre2_jit_compile.c:8546
8546	lgb = UCD_GRAPHBREAK(c);

I analyse this crash,it is caused by array cross-border reading, then I use AFL to fuzz PHP,it reports some global variable coverage,you can see the crash cases in "input.zip".

Test script:
---------------
The test script is very easy:
<?php
$fuzz=file_get_contents($argv[1]);

you will see "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

This looks like segfault inside PCRE library. Did you report it to the PCRE maintainers?

This issue has already been fixed upstream.  Since it is caused by
erroneous treatment of the subject (which may be user supplied),
we should consider to apply the following patch to our bundled
pcre2 (PHP-7.3+):
