Description de la CVE-2022-41220

md2roff 1.9 souffre d'un débordement de tampon basé sur la pile via un fichier Markdown contenant un grand nombre de caractères consécutifs à traiter.

Reproduction

Pour reproduire la vulnérabilité, téléchargez une version vulnérable de md2roff (version 1.9) :

git clone https://github.com/nereusx/md2roff.git
cd md2roff
git checkout 9241b8cfeb687c57099f3ef45f03a8ad3f291cf4
make

Une fois le projet compilé, nous pouvons traiter un fichier markdown malveillant produit par nos tests de fuzzing pour reproduire un crash du programme :

./md2roff poc.md

L'exécution de la commande précédente produira un segfault :

segmentation fault  ./md2roff poc.md

Compiler le projet avec address sanitizer (ASAN) confirme notre débordement de tampon de pile :

#
#       GNU make
#

prefix  ?= /usr/local
bindir  ?= $(prefix)/bin
mandir  ?= $(prefix)/share/man
man1dir ?= $(mandir)/man1

LIBS   = -lc
CFLAGS = -std=c99 -fsanitize=address

all: md2roff md2roff.1.gz

md2roff: md2roff.c
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) md2roff.c -o md2roff $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBS)

md2roff.1.gz: md2roff.md md2roff
        ./md2roff --synopsis-style=1 md2roff.md > md2roff.1
        -groff md2roff.1 -Tpdf -man -P -e > md2roff.1.pdf
        ./md2roff -z --synopsis-style=1 md2roff.md > md2roff.1
        gzip -f md2roff.1

install: md2roff md2roff.1.gz
        mkdir -p -m 0755 $(DESTDIR)$(bindir) $(DESTDIR)$(man1dir)
        install -m 0755 -s md2roff $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)
        install -m 0644 md2roff.1.gz $(DESTDIR)$(man1dir)

uninstall:
        rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/md2roff $(DESTDIR)$(man1dir)/md2roff.1.gz

clean:
        rm -f *.o md2roff md2roff.1*

$ ./md2roff poc.md
