Subject: openoffice.org: Invalid range checking in DOC header parsing leading to
possible heap overflow
Lee Xioajun <email address hidden> reported an issue with invalid input
checks in DOC header parsing, which can possibly be exploited with remote
code execution. I'm including his advisory verbose, as I could not find a
WWW reference for it. The relevant issue #s seems to be 46276 and 46388.
It's supposed to be fixed upstream, but I couldn't find it in the plethora
of CVS modules and subprojects.
I.DESCRIPTION:
-------------
OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite, including word
processing, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting,
formula editing, and file conversion facilities.
The vulnerability is caused due to a error within the .Doc document header
processing.This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
II.DETAILS:
----------
There is a vulnerability in StgCompObjStream::Load() function,
When reading DOC document information of format,memory is allocated by DOC provide length.
DOC provided a 32 bits integer,and will use the low 16 bits of this number to allocate memory,
but when reading doc information,still use the 32 bits number as length,this maybe cause heap
overflow, and when free happened ,will cause write pointer,maybe cause arbitrary code excute .
BOOL StgCompObjStream::Load()
{
memset( &aClsId, 0, sizeof( ClsId ) );
nCbFormat = 0;
aUserName.Erase();
if( GetError() != SVSTREAM_OK )
return FALSE;
Seek( 8L );
INT32 nMarker = 0;
*this >> nMarker;
if( nMarker == -1L )
{
*this >> aClsId;
INT32 nLen1 = 0;
*this >> nLen1; // we can control this 32 bits int
sal_Char* p = new sal_Char[ (USHORT) nLen1 ]; //use low 16 bits value to allocate memory
if( Read( p, nLen1 ) == (ULONG) nLen1 ) //still use 32 bits int as length,if failed,
// will goto free step,maybe cause write pointer.
{
aUserName = String( p, gsl_getSystemTextEncoding() );
....
nCbFormat = ReadClipboardFormat( *this );
}
else
SetError( SVSTREAM_GENERALERROR );
delete [] p; //free step,heap overflow cause write pointer.
}
return BOOL( GetError() == SVSTREAM_OK );
}
example:
if we provide 0x10000018 to nLen1,will allocate 0x18 length memory,
Read( p, nLen1 ) still use 0x10000018 as length,then, read will fail,
but readed length is bigger than allocated memory,and overwrite the next chunk.
when goto delete [] p;,write pointer happened. we had triggered this problem successful.
StartOffice maybe affected too. did not test.
