Summary

The png_decompress_chunk function in pngrutil.c in libpng 1.0.x before 1.0.53, 1.2.x before 1.2.43, and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 does not properly handle compressed ancillary-chunk data that has a disproportionately large uncompressed representation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption, and application hang) via a crafted PNG file, as demonstrated by use of the deflate compression method on data composed of many occurrences of the same character, related to a "decompression bomb" attack.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • XML Ping of the Death
    An attacker initiates a resource depletion attack where a large number of small XML messages are delivered at a sufficiently rapid rate to cause a denial of service or crash of the target. Transactions such as repetitive SOAP transactions can deplete resources faster than a simple flooding attack because of the additional resources used by the SOAP protocol and the resources necessary to process SOAP messages. The transactions used are immaterial as long as they cause resource utilization on the target. In other words, this is a normal flooding attack augmented by using messages that will require extra processing on the target.
  • XML Entity Expansion
    An attacker submits an XML document to a target application where the XML document uses nested entity expansion to produce an excessively large output XML. XML allows the definition of macro-like structures that can be used to simplify the creation of complex structures. However, this capability can be abused to create excessive demands on a processor's CPU and memory. A small number of nested expansions can result in an exponential growth in demands on memory.
  • Inducing Account Lockout
    An attacker leverages the security functionality of the system aimed at thwarting potential attacks to launch a denial of service attack against a legitimate system user. Many systems, for instance, implement a password throttling mechanism that locks an account after a certain number of incorrect log in attempts. An attacker can leverage this throttling mechanism to lock a legitimate user out of their own account. The weakness that is being leveraged by an attacker is the very security feature that has been put in place to counteract attacks.
  • Violating Implicit Assumptions Regarding XML Content (aka XML Denial of Service (XDoS))
    XML Denial of Service (XDoS) can be applied to any technology that utilizes XML data. This is, of course, most distributed systems technology including Java, .Net, databases, and so on. XDoS is most closely associated with web services, SOAP, and Rest, because remote service requesters can post malicious XML payloads to the service provider designed to exhaust the service provider's memory, CPU, and/or disk space. The main weakness in XDoS is that the service provider generally must inspect, parse, and validate the XML messages to determine routing, workflow, security considerations, and so on. It is exactly these inspection, parsing, and validation routines that XDoS targets. There are three primary attack vectors that XDoS can navigate Target CPU through recursion: attacker creates a recursive payload and sends to service provider Target memory through jumbo payloads: service provider uses DOM to parse XML. DOM creates in memory representation of XML document, but when document is very large (for example, north of 1 Gb) service provider host may exhaust memory trying to build memory objects. XML Ping of death: attack service provider with numerous small files that clog the system. All of the above attacks exploit the loosely coupled nature of web services, where the service provider has little to no control over the service requester and any messages the service requester sends.

    titleSuSE 10 Security Update : libpng (ZYPP Patch Number 6933)
  • NASL familyRed Hat Local Security Checks
    NASL idREDHAT-RHSA-2010-0534.NASL
    descriptionUpdated libpng and libpng10 packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. The libpng packages contain a library of functions for creating and manipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image format files. A memory corruption flaw was found in the way applications, using the libpng library and its progressive reading method, decoded certain PNG images. An attacker could create a specially crafted PNG image that, when opened, could cause an application using libpng to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2010-1205) A denial of service flaw was found in the way applications using the libpng library decoded PNG images that have certain, highly compressed ancillary chunks. An attacker could create a specially crafted PNG image that could cause an application using libpng to consume excessive amounts of memory and CPU time, and possibly crash. (CVE-2010-0205) A memory leak flaw was found in the way applications using the libpng library decoded PNG images that use the Physical Scale (sCAL) extension. An attacker could create a specially crafted PNG image that could cause an application using libpng to exhaust all available memory and possibly crash or exit. (CVE-2010-2249) A sensitive information disclosure flaw was found in the way applications using the libpng library processed 1-bit interlaced PNG images. An attacker could create a specially crafted PNG image that could cause an application using libpng to disclose uninitialized memory. (CVE-2009-2042) Users of libpng and libpng10 should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running applications using libpng or libpng10 must be restarted for the update to take effect.

  • NASL familyFedora Local Security Checks
    NASL idFEDORA_2010-3375.NASL
    descriptionThis is the latest upstream maintenance release. In addition to a number of minor bugfixes, it mitigates the resource-consumption effects of highly compressed ancillary chunks in hostile PNG files as described at http://libpng.sourceforge.net/ADVISORY-1.4.1.html This issue has been assigned CVE-2010-0205 by CERT. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

  • NASL familyMandriva Local Security Checks
    NASL idMANDRIVA_MDVSA-2010-063.NASL
    descriptionMultiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in libpng : libpng before 1.2.37 does not properly parse 1-bit interlaced images with width values that are not divisible by 8, which causes libpng to include uninitialized bits in certain rows of a PNG file and might allow remote attackers to read portions of sensitive memory via out-of-bounds pixels in the file (CVE-2009-2042). The png_decompress_chunk function in pngrutil.c in libpng 1.0.x before 1.0.53, 1.2.x before 1.2.43, and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 does not properly handle compressed ancillary-chunk data that has a disproportionately large uncompressed representation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption, and application hang) via a crafted PNG file, as demonstrated by use of the deflate compression method on data composed of many occurrences of the same character, related to a decompression bomb attack (CVE-2010-0205). Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
