X.509: Fix the buffer overflow in the utility function for OID string
PATCH 1/1 X.509: Fix the buffer overflow in the utility function for OID string
From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>
The sprint_oid() utility function doesn't properly check the buffer size that it causes that the warning in vsnprintf() be triggered. For example on v4.1 kernel:
[ 49.612536] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 49.612543] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2357 at lib/vsprintf.c:1867 vsnprintf+0x5a7/0x5c0()
...
We can trigger this issue by injecting maliciously crafted x509 cert in DER format. Just using hex editor to change the length of OID to over the length of the SEQUENCE container. For example:
0:d=0 hl=4 l= 980 cons: SEQUENCE
4:d=1 hl=4 l= 700 cons: SEQUENCE
8:d=2 hl=2 l= 3 cons: cont [ 0 ]
10:d=3 hl=2 l= 1 prim: INTEGER :02
13:d=2 hl=2 l= 9 prim: INTEGER :9B47FAF791E7D1E3
24:d=2 hl=2 l= 13 cons: SEQUENCE
26:d=3 hl=2 l= 9 prim: OBJECT :sha256WithRSAEncryption
37:d=3 hl=2 l= 0 prim: NULL
39:d=2 hl=2 l= 121 cons: SEQUENCE
41:d=3 hl=2 l= 22 cons: SET
43:d=4 hl=2 l= 20 cons: SEQUENCE <=== the SEQ length is 20
45:d=5 hl=2 l= 3 prim: OBJECT :organizationName
<=== the original length is 3, change the length of OID to over the length of SEQUENCEPawel Wieczorkiewicz reported this problem and Takashi Iwai provided patch to fix it by checking the bufsize in sprint_oid().
