2022-06-05 22:43:05 Joshua Peisach description There is a denial of service in rust-regex. Below is an SRU template to prepare for patching CVE-2022-24713. https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-24713 https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/03/08/cve-2022-24713.html https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/commit/ae70b41d4f46641dbc45c7a4f87954aea356283e ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: librust-regex-dev 1.5.4-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-30.31-generic 5.15.30 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-30-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckMismatches: ./casper/filesystem.manifest-remove CasperMD5CheckResult: fail CurrentDesktop: Unity:Unity7:ubuntu Date: Sun Jun 5 18:26:32 2022 InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-04-22 (44 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu Unity 22.04 RebootRequiredPkgs: Error: path contained symlinks. SourcePackage: rust-regex UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) There is a denial of service in rust-regex. Below is an SRU template to prepare for patching CVE-2022-24713. [Impact] * The rust compile can compile a regex an empty sub-expression as many times as wanted. * Take '(?:){294967295}' - this would make the regex compiler compile 294967295 times. * This results in a denial of service; there wouldnt be a crash but the compiler would take forever and eventually get there. * An attacker could use this amount of time it takes for the compiler to parse this regex to perform DoS attacks [Test Plan] * Take a regex from the regex crate that is still vulnerable - get pre 1.5.5. * Use one of the test cases provided in the fix commit https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/commit/ae70b41d4f46641dbc45c7a4f87954aea356283e or use this POC i made: https://github.com/ItzSwirlz/CVE-2022-24713-POC * Building using the old regex would take forever, but the fix would take a shorter time. [Where problems could occur] * An integer overflow might still be able to cause a regex overload * Changes to the rust libraries/packages and other SRUs may create regressions with updates that may outdate the library * This fix adds a fake amount of memory any time a regex empty sub-expression is compiiled, and then adds to the Inst in the existing indirect heap usage. * This means maybe an attacker could overload the amount of Regex's and make compiling impossible? Memory may be lost in very specific situations, or a heap buffer issue can occur [Other Info] * Impacts Focal, Impish, Jammy * Links: https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/commit/ae70b41d4f46641dbc45c7a4f87954aea356283e https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/03/08/cve-2022-24713.html https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-24713 https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/security/advisories/GHSA-m5pq-gvj9-9vr8 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: librust-regex-dev 1.5.4-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-30.31-generic 5.15.30 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-30-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckMismatches: ./casper/filesystem.manifest-remove CasperMD5CheckResult: fail CurrentDesktop: Unity:Unity7:ubuntu Date: Sun Jun 5 18:26:32 2022 InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-04-22 (44 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu Unity 22.04 RebootRequiredPkgs: Error: path contained symlinks.
