Sec Bug #70433 Uninitialized pointer in phar_make_dirstream when zip entry filename is "/"
Submitted: 2015-09-05 11:42 UTC Modified: 2015-10-11 10:53 UTC
From: hugh at allthethings dot co dot nz Assigned: kaplan (profile)
Status: Closed Package: PHAR related
PHP Version: 5.6Git-2015-09-05 (Git) OS: Linux
Private report: No CVE-ID: 2015-7804

Description:
------------
When parsing a phar file in zip format (phar_parse_zipfile in ext/phar/zip.c) with a directory entry with filename /, the filename length is 1 to start with, but then because it is a directory, it is decremented to 0 (line 399 of ext/phar/zip.c), which causes it to get added to the manifest hash as a type LONG not as a type STRING (line 639 of ext/phar/zip.c).
When making the dirstream from the phar file after loading the zip (function phar_make_dirstream in ext/phar/dirstream.c), the manifest hash is used, but the return is not checked for a STRING type, which is what it expects (line 201 in ext/phar/dirstream.c). In this case, a LONG is returned, and the two variables str_key and keylen are not set. The str_key is further used to set the filename.

This will cause a crash when compiled with hardening options such as -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 and -fstack-protector-all AND NO optimizations (-O flags), OR when compiled with ASAN. When compiled any other way that I've tried, it doesn't crash, but occasionally leaks data into the filename field outputted.

This bug was found with afl-fuzz.

The zip file passed to the script below is available at https://transfer.sh/VULId/fuzz-test.zip and has the hexdump of below:

00000000  50 4b 03 04 30 30 30 30  30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30  |PK..000000000000|

00000108


To fix:

a) check the return type of zend_hash_get_current_key_ex for more than just non existent (ie, for LONG as well), maybe fail if type is not STRING?

or b) don't decrement the entry.filename_len in parse_zip if it would set the length to 0, that would mean it is stored in the hash as a string, not a long. I'm not too sure of the logic of this, so don't know if that reasoning is right.

Also, I haven't checked other filetypes for phar, potentially a similar issue is  there as well!

Cheers,

Hugh

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$phar = new PharData($argv[1]);
var_dump($phar);
$meta = $phar->getMetadata();
var_dump($meta);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
No crash or memory leaked.

Actual result:
--------------
When compiled with ASAN

Looks like ext/phar/tar.c does the decrement on line 420 or 440 then stored on line 493, so that will have the same issue.

Hey,

Just checking that someone has seen this?

Cheers,
