Descriptions

The asn1_time_to_time_t function in ext/openssl/openssl.c in PHP before 5.3.28, 5.4.x before 5.4.23, and 5.5.x before 5.5.7 does not properly parse (1) notBefore and (2) notAfter timestamps in X.509 certificates, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted certificate that is not properly handled by the openssl_x509_parse function.

EPSS

EPSS est un modèle de notation qui prédit la probabilité qu'une vulnérabilité soit exploitée.

EPSS Score

Le modèle EPSS produit un score de probabilité compris entre 0 et 1 (0 et 100 %). Plus la note est élevée, plus la probabilité qu'une vulnérabilité soit exploitée est grande.

EPSS Percentile

Le percentile est utilisé pour classer les CVE en fonction de leur score EPSS. Par exemple, une CVE dans le 95e percentile selon son score EPSS est plus susceptible d'être exploitée que 95 % des autres CVE. Ainsi, le percentile sert à comparer le score EPSS d'une CVE par rapport à d'autres CVE.

SektionEins GmbH www.sektioneins.de -= Security Advisory =- Advisory: PHP openssl_x509_parse() Memory Corruption Vulnerability Release Date: 2013/12/13 Last Modified: 2013/12/13 Author: Stefan Esser [stefan.esser[at]sektioneins.de] Application: PHP 4.0.6 - PHP 4.4.9 PHP 5.0.x PHP 5.1.x PHP 5.2.x PHP 5.3.0 - PHP 5.3.27 PHP 5.4.0 - PHP 5.4.22 PHP 5.5.0 - PHP 5.5.6 Severity: PHP applications using openssl_x509_parse() to parse a malicious x509 certificate might trigger a memory corruption that might result in arbitrary code execution Risk: Critical Vendor Status: Vendor has released PHP 5.5.7, PHP 5.4.23 and PHP 5.3.28 that contain a fix for this vulnerability Reference: http://www.sektioneins.de/advisories/advisory-012013-php-openssl_x509_parse-memory-corruption-vulnerability.html Overview: Quote from http://www.php.net "PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML." The PHP function openssl_x509_parse() uses a helper function called asn1_time_to_time_t() to convert timestamps from ASN1 string format into integer timestamp values. The parser within this helper function is not binary safe and can therefore be tricked to write up to five NUL bytes outside of an allocated buffer. This problem can be triggered by x509 certificates that contain NUL bytes in their notBefore and notAfter timestamp fields and leads to a memory corruption that might result in arbitrary code execution. Depending on how openssl_x509_parse() is used within a PHP application the attack requires either a malicious cert signed by a compromised/malicious CA or can be carried out with a self-signed cert. Details: The PHP function openssl_x509_parse() is used by PHP applications to parse additional information out of x509 certificates, usually to harden SSL encrypted communication channels against MITM attacks. In the wild we have seen the following use cases for this function: * output certificate debugging information (e.g. cacert.org/analyse.php) * webmail application with SMIME support * client certificate handling * certificate pinning * verification of other certificate properties (e.g. a default Wordpress install if ext/curl is not loaded) When we backported security fixes for some previous security vulnerabilities in PHP's openssl to PHP 4.4.9 as part of our PHP security backport services that we provide to customers, we performed a quick audit of openssl_x509_parse() and all the functions it calls, which led to the discovery of a memory corruption vulnerability. Within the function openssl_x509_parse() the helper function asn1_time_to_time_t() is called two times to parse the notBefore and notAfter ASN1 string timestamps from the cert into integer time_t values as you can see below: add_assoc_long(return_value, "validFrom_time_t", asn1_time_to_time_t(X509_get_notBefore(cert) TSRMLS_CC)); add_assoc_long(return_value, "validTo_time_t", asn1_time_to_time_t(X509_get_notAfter(cert) TSRMLS_CC)); When you take a look into this helper function you will see that it only contains a quickly hacked parser that was never really improved since its introduction in PHP 4.0.6. The author of this parser was even aware of its hackishness as you can see from the error message contained in the code: static time_t asn1_time_to_time_t(ASN1_UTCTIME * timestr TSRMLS_DC) /* {{{ */ { /* This is how the time string is formatted: snprintf(p, sizeof(p), "%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02dZ",ts->tm_year%100, ts->tm_mon+1,ts->tm_mday,ts->tm_hour,ts->tm_min,ts->tm_sec); */ time_t ret; struct tm thetime; char * strbuf; char * thestr; long gmadjust = 0; if (timestr->length < 13) { php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "extension author too lazy to parse %s correctly", timestr->data); return (time_t)-1; } However the actual problem of the code should become obvious when you read the rest of the parsing code that attempts to first duplicate the timestamp string and then parses the timestamp by going through the copy in reverse order and writing five NUL bytes into the duplicated string. strbuf = estrdup((char *)timestr->data); memset(&thetime, 0, sizeof(thetime)); /* we work backwards so that we can use atoi more easily */ thestr = strbuf + timestr->length - 3; thetime.tm_sec = atoi(thestr); *thestr = '\0'; thestr -= 2; thetime.tm_min = atoi(thestr); *thestr = '\0'; thestr -= 2; thetime.tm_hour = atoi(thestr); *thestr = '\0'; thestr -= 2; thetime.tm_mday = atoi(thestr); *thestr = '\0'; thestr -= 2; thetime.tm_mon = atoi(thestr)-1; *thestr = '\0'; thestr -= 2; thetime.tm_year = atoi(thestr); The problem with this code is that ASN1 strings can contain NUL bytes, while the parser is not binary safe. This means if a timestamp string inside a x509 certificate contains a NUL byte at e.g. position 13 the estrdup() will only allocate 14 bytes for a copy of the string, but the parser will attempt to write five NUL bytes to memory addressed by the ASN1 length of the string. If the real string length is longer than 16 bytes this will result in writes of NUL bytes outside of the allocated buffer. Because of PHP's deterministic heap memory layout that can be controlled a lot by sending e.g. POST variables and using duplicate variable names to poke memory holes this vulnerability must be considered exploitable. However the actual exploit will depend a lot on how the PHP application uses openssl_x509_parse() and a lot of other factors. Depending on which of the actual use cases the function is used for by an application, an attacker can trigger the memory corruption with a self-signed certificate. An example for this is the public analyse.php x509 cert debugging script provided by CACert on their webserver. Other applications like Wordpress use openssl_x509_parse() to further verify SSL certificates whenever Wordpress connects to a HTTPS URL (in case ext/curl is not loaded which is the default for several linux distributions). Because the parsing only happens after the initial SSL connection is established this can only be abused by attackers controlling a malicious trusted cert. However recent disclosures of alleged NSA capabilities, the French incident and disclosures about fully compromised trusted CAs in the past years have shown that this capability might be in the reach of malicious attackers. Proof of Concept: The following x509 certificate demonstrates the out of bounds write: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEpDCCA4ygAwIBAgIJAJzu8r6u6eBcMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMIHDMQswCQYD VQQGEwJERTEcMBoGA1UECAwTTm9yZHJoZWluLVdlc3RmYWxlbjEQMA4GA1UEBwwH S8ODwrZsbjEUMBIGA1UECgwLU2VrdGlvbkVpbnMxHzAdBgNVBAsMFk1hbGljaW91 cyBDZXJ0IFNlY3Rpb24xITAfBgNVBAMMGG1hbGljaW91cy5zZWt0aW9uZWlucy5k ZTEqMCgGCSqGSIb3DQEJARYbc3RlZmFuLmVzc2VyQHNla3Rpb25laW5zLmRlMHUY ZDE5NzAwMTAxMDAwMDAwWgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAXDTE0MTEyODExMzkzNVowgcMxCzAJBgNVBAYTAkRFMRwwGgYDVQQIDBNO b3JkcmhlaW4tV2VzdGZhbGVuMRAwDgYDVQQHDAdLw4PCtmxuMRQwEgYDVQQKDAtT ZWt0aW9uRWluczEfMB0GA1UECwwWTWFsaWNpb3VzIENlcnQgU2VjdGlvbjEhMB8G A1UEAwwYbWFsaWNpb3VzLnNla3Rpb25laW5zLmRlMSowKAYJKoZIhvcNAQkBFhtz dGVmYW4uZXNzZXJAc2VrdGlvbmVpbnMuZGUwggEiMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4IB DwAwggEKAoIBAQDDAf3hl7JY0XcFniyEJpSSDqn0OqBr6QP65usJPRt/8PaDoqBu wEYT/Na+6fsgPjC0uK9DZgWg2tHWWoanSblAMoz5PH6Z+S4SHRZ7e2dDIjPjdhjh 0mLg2UMO5yp0V797Ggs9lNt6JRfH81MN2obXWs4NtztLMuD6egqpr8dDbr34aOs8 pkdui5UawTZksy5pLPHq5cMhFGm06v65CLo0V2Pd9+KAokPrPcN5KLKebz7mLpk6 SMeEXOKP4idEqxyQ7O7fBuHMedsQhu+prY3si3BUyKfQtP5CZnX2bp0wKHxX12DX 1nfFIt9DbGvHTcyOuN+nZLPBm3vWxntyIIvVAgMBAAGjQjBAMAkGA1UdEwQCMAAw EQYJYIZIAYb4QgEBBAQDAgeAMAsGA1UdDwQEAwIFoDATBgNVHSUEDDAKBggrBgEF BQcDAjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFAAOCAQEAG0fZYYCTbdj1XYc+1SnoaPR+vI8C8CaD 8+0UYhdnyU4gga0BAcDrY9e94eEAu6ZqycF6FjLqXXdAboppWocr6T6GD1x33Ckl VArzG/KxQohGD2JeqkhIMlDomxHO7ka39+Oa8i2vWLVyjU8AZvWMAruHa4EENyG7 lW2AagaFKFCr9TnXTfrdxGVEbv7KVQ6bdhg5p5SjpWH1+Mq03uR3ZXPBYdyV8319 o0lVj1KFI2DCL/liWisJRoof+1cR35Ctd0wYBcpB6TZslMcOPl76dwKwJgeJo2Qg Zsfmc2vC1/qOlNuNq/0TzzkVGv8ETT3CgaU+UXe4XOVvkccebJn2dg== -----END CERTIFICATE----- Disclosure Timeline: 01.
