Description Robert Frohl 2020-08-13 09:53:35 UTC
rh#1868109

he phar_parse_zipfile function had use-after-free vulnerability because of mishandling of the actual_alias variable.

----- ext/phar/zip.c -----
int phar_parse_zipfile(php_stream *fp, char *fname, size_t fname_len, char *alias, size_t alias_len, phar_archive_data** pphar, char **error) /* {{{ */
{
	...

	mydata->alias = entry.is_persistent ? pestrndup(actual_alias, mydata->alias_len, 1) : actual_alias;

	if (entry.is_persistent) {
		efree(actual_alias);
	}

	zend_hash_str_add_ptr(&(PHAR_G(phar_alias_map)), actual_alias, mydata->alias_len, mydata);

	...
---------------------------

`actual_alias` variable is allocated by estrndup function, which string is part of data of the zip file.

The above code snippet `mydata->alias` is assigned by `pestrndup(actual_alias, mydata->alias_len, 1)` if entry.is_persistent is true. Or `mydata->alias` is assigned by `actual_alias` variable.
And if `entry.is_persistent` is true, `actual_alias` variable is freed by invoke efree function. `actual_alias` variable is used invoke of zend_hash_str_add_ptr function as 2nd argument.

Problem is that `actual_alias` variable is freed if `entry.is_persistent` is true, the key of `phar_alias_map` will use freed memory. `entry.is_persistent` is true if `phar.cache_list` fields is defined in php.ini file. 

So if `phar.cache_list` is defined with target phar path so that `entry.is_persistent` is true, then it can be that `phar_alias_map` hash key would use sensitive freed memory data such as heap addresses that addresses set via linked list after invoke the efree function.


Possibly affected versions: php 7.2.32, php 7.3.20, php 7.4.8

tracking as affected:
- SUSE:SLE-12:Update / php7
- SUSE:SLE-12:Update / php72
- SUSE:SLE-12:Update / php74
- SUSE:SLE-15:Update / php7
- SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update / php7 

contrary to the report, the code is also present in 7.0.X
Comment 2 Petr Gajdos 2020-08-13 14:17:56 UTC
TW/php7 have the change already in.

There is similarly in php5:

687         mydata->alias = entry.is_persistent ? pestrndup(actual_alias, mydata->alias_len, 1) : actual_alias;
 688 
 689         if (entry.is_persistent) {
 690             efree(actual_alias);
 691         }
 692 
 693         zend_hash_add(&(PHAR_GLOBALS->phar_alias_map), actual_alias, mydata->alias_len, (void*)&mydata, sizeof(phar_archive_data*), NUL     L);

Will submit for 15sp2/php7, 15/php7, 12/php74, 12/php72, 12/php7, 12/php5, 11/php53.

Submitted also for devel:languages:php:php56/php5.
