Sec Bug #76129 fix for CVE-2018-5712 may not be complete
Submitted: 2018-03-21 16:53 UTC Modified: 2018-04-29 20:47 UTC
From: scorneli at redhat dot com Assigned: stas (profile)
Status: Closed Package: PHAR related
PHP Version: 7.1.15 OS: Fedora 27 (but probably global)
Private report: No CVE-ID: 2018-10547
 [2018-03-21 16:53 UTC] scorneli at redhat dot com
Description:
------------
I've tested the fix for CVE-2018-5712 (http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commit;h=4e3f55c36272a5f29b50e1924b78e9db1b23f214) and it does not appear to be sufficient for me.

The "phar_do_404()" function in ext/phar/phar_object.c also returns parts of the request unfiltered, leading to another XSS vector. I've tested this with Fedora 27's php-7.1.15 version. I've not tested a new vanilla upstream version to verify that it's affected, but I've checked the upstream git sources and they appear to be affected.

The "phar_do_403()" function shares similar code, so I've proactively changed that, too. Not tested, though.

I've attached a patch that I've used to test my theory.

I'm not sure if you guys are already aware of this issue, but I've not communicated this to any 3rd parties yet. I've also not requested a CVE ID yet.

Given that this can be easily figured by anyone testing CVE-2018-5712, I don't think that this needs any special embargo. However, if you want to embargo this, do you have a rough timeline when this would be OK for you to make public?

Thanks,

Stefan Cornelius / Red Hat Product Security

Test script:
---------------
I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary, really. Fedora 27 with default httpd/php config. The phar is a bare minimum phar package only printing phpinfo(). Although the phar file was build with a php version containing the original fix (4e3f55c36272a5f29b50e1924b78e9db1b23f214), I still can reproduce the XSS.

Expected result:
----------------
No XSS

Actual result:
--------------
XSS

I'm having problems attaching the patch (restricts my access, although I'm the reporter).

Maybe this will do as a workaround:

Hi,

Are you going to get a CVE for this?
 [2018-04-04 00:01 UTC] stas@php.net
I don't think it needs separate CVE - it's the same issue, just in different place.
 [2018-04-04 14:10 UTC] scorneli at redhat dot com
There have been new PHP versions and some downstream projects released updates fixing CVE-2018-5712 already. This additional fix can't have the same CVE without possibly leading to confusion.

I can also get a CVE ID for this, just let me know. I just want to avoid dupes/race condition when requesting the ID from MITRE.

Additionally, I've tested the patch and it seems to work for me.

OK I guess we can request a CVE and ask to link it to the previous one (not sure how they do it)
