Bug #77479 imagewbmp() segfaults with very large images
Submitted: 2019-01-17 12:58 UTC Modified: 2019-01-18 20:05 UTC
From: cmb@php.net Assigned: cmb (profile)
Status: Closed Package: GD related
PHP Version: 7.1Git-2019-01-17 (Git) OS: *
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
If very large images (i.e. >= 256 megapixels) are passed to
imagewbmp(), the function causes a segfault since createwbmp()[1]
fails, but gdImageWBMPCtx() continues after raising an error[2].
This issue does not affect upstream libgd, where this issue has
been fixed long ago with commit 46fd625[3].

It seems to me that this is a low security issue (maybe even no
security issue at all), since it makes no sense to have such large
WBMP images at all, and usually PHP's memory_limit is set low
enough to prevent to allocate such large images at all.

[1] <https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-7.1.26/ext/gd/libgd/wbmp.c#L110-L140>
[2] <https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-7.1.26/ext/gd/libgd/gd_wbmp.c#L100-L102>
[3] <https://github.com/libgd/libgd/commit/46fd62585ecbced255193cd5fe964bc44eb137de>

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$im = imagecreate(40000, 20000);
imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagewbmp($im, __DIR__ . '/wbmp.wbmp');
echo "DONE\n";

Expected result:
----------------
Warning: imagewbmp(): gd warning: product of memory allocation multiplication would exceed INT_MAX, failing operation gracefully
 in %s on line %d

Warning: imagewbmp(): Could not create WBMP in %s on line %d
DONE

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: imagewbmp(): gd warning: product of memory allocation multiplication would exceed INT_MAX, failing operation gracefully
 in %s on line %d

Warning: imagewbmp(): Could not create WBMP in %s on line %d
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

thanks for the cath up, I must have missed this merge back then.

Afair we consider DDOS as security issue while 256M pixels will require quite some network to achieve it :)

To clarify: the segfault occurs *before* imagewbmp() outputs
anything.

Also, I have some doubts that imagewbmp() is actually still in use
anywhere, since it only makes sense for ancient devices (for
somewhat contemporary devices PNG is way better, and even GIF is
still superior).

Doesn't look like security issue - requires explicit user action with specially crafted parameters to trigger the problem.
