description | ### Description HDF5 is a file format that is maintained by a non-profit organization, The HDF Group. HDF5 is designed to be used for storage and organization of large amounts of scientific data and is used to exchange data structures between applications in industries such as the GIS industry via libraries such as GDAL, OGR, or as part of software like ArcGIS. The vulnerability exists when the library is decoding data out of a dataset encoded with the H5Z_NBIT decoding. When calculating the precision that a BCD number is encoded as, the library will fail to ensure that the precision is within the bounds of the size. Due to this, the library will calculate an index outside the bounds of the space allocated for the BCD number. Whilst decoding this data, the library will then write outside the bounds of the buffer leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. This can lead to code execution under the context of the application using the library. ### Tested Versions * hdf5-1.8.16.tar.bz2 * tools/h5ls: Version 1.8.16 * tools/h5stat: Version 1.8.16 * tools/h5dump: Version 1.8.16 ### Product Urls * http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/ * http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtainsrc.html * http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.8.16.tar.bz2 ### CVSSv3 Score 8.6 - CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H ### Details The HDF file format is intended to be a general file format that is self-describing for various types of data structures used in the scientific community [1]. These data structures are intended to be stored in two types of objects, Datasets and Groups. Paralleling the file-format to a file system, a Dataset can be interpreted as a file, and a Group can be interpreted as a directory that's able to contain other Datasets or Groups. Associated with each entry, is metadata containing user-defined named attributes that can be used to describe the dataset. When reading a dataset out of the file, the HDF5 library will call the following function, H5Dread. After allocating space for the buffer, the library will call an internal function H5Dread which will eventually call into H5Dchunk_lock. This function is responsible for reading the contents of the dataset into a cache that the application will later be able to access. ``` src/H5Dio.c:125 herr_t H5Dread(hid_t dset_id, hid_t mem_type_id, hid_t mem_space_id, hid_t file_space_id, hid_t plist_id, void *buf/*out*/) { ... /* read raw data */ if(H5D__read(dset, mem_type_id, mem_space, file_space, plist_id, buf/*out*/) < 0) HGOTO_ERROR(H5E_DATASET, H5E_READERROR, FAIL, "can't read data") src/H5Dio.c:373 herr_t H5D__read(H5D_t *dataset, hid_t mem_type_id, const H5S_t *mem_space, const H5S_t *file_space, hid_t dxpl_id, void *buf/*out*/) { ... /* Invoke correct "high level" I/O routine */ if((*io_info.io_ops.multi_read)(&io_info, &type_info, nelmts, file_space, mem_space, &fm) < 0) // XXX: \ HGOTO_ERROR(H5E_DATASET, H5E_READERROR, FAIL, "can't read data") \ ... src/H5Dchunk.c:1873 /* Lock the chunk into the cache */ if(NULL == (chunk = H5D__chunk_lock(io_info, &udata, FALSE))) HGOTO_ERROR(H5E_IO, H5E_READERROR, FAIL, "unable to read raw data chunk") ``` Once chunklock is read, the library will call into it's pipeline to determine how it can decode the data. This happens by calling H5Zpipeline. Inside H5Z_pipeline, the library will determine what kind of filter to choose and then call the "filter" method from a data structure that contains methods or handlers that deal with the specific encoding type. ``` src/H5Dchunk.c:2808 void * H5D__chunk_lock(const H5D_io_info_t *io_info, H5D_chunk_ud_t *udata, hbool_t relax) { if(H5Z_pipeline(pline, H5Z_FLAG_REVERSE, &(udata->filter_mask), io_info->dxpl_cache- >err_detect, // XXX: \ io_info->dxpl_cache->filter_cb, &chunk_alloc, &chunk_alloc, &chunk) < 0) HGOTO_ERROR(H5E_PLINE, H5E_CANTFILTER, NULL, "data pipeline read failed") H5_CHECKED_ASSIGN(udata->nbytes, uint32_t, chunk_alloc, size_t); \ src/H5Z.c:1285 herr_t H5Z_pipeline(const H5O_pline_t *pline, unsigned flags, unsigned *filter_mask/*in,out*/, H5Z_EDC_t edc_read, H5Z_cb_t cb_struct, size_t *nbytes/*in,out*/, size_t *buf_size/*in,out*/, void **buf/*in,out*/) { tmp_flags=flags|(pline->filter[idx].flags); tmp_flags|=(edc_read== H5Z_DISABLE_EDC) ? H5Z_FLAG_SKIP_EDC : 0; new_nbytes = (fclass->filter)(tmp_flags, pline->filter[idx].cd_nelmts, // XXX: calls H5Z_filter_nbit pline->filter[idx].cd_values, *nbytes, buf_size, buf); ``` When handling data encoded with the nbit encoding type, the library will call H5Zfilternbit. This function will take inputs from the file and use it to calculate the amount of space required to decode the encoded data. This is done by taking the number of elements and multiplying it by the size of elements. With the provided proof of concept, the size is 4 and the number of elements is 12. This results in a buffer size of 48 bytes. ``` src/H5Znbit.c:865 static size_t H5Z_filter_nbit(unsigned flags, size_t cd_nelmts, const unsigned cd_values[], size_t nbytes, size_t *buf_size, void **buf) { /* copy a filter parameter to d_nelmts */ d_nelmts = cd_values[2]; // XXX: number of elements /* input; decompress */ if(flags & H5Z_FLAG_REVERSE) { size_out = d_nelmts * cd_values[4]; /* cd_values[4] stores datatype size */ // XXX: size of elements /* allocate memory space for decompressed buffer */ if(NULL == (outbuf = (unsigned char *)H5MM_malloc(size_out))) // XXX: seems to be 0x30 HGOTO_ERROR(H5E_RESOURCE, H5E_NOSPACE, 0, "memory allocation failed for nbit decompression") /* decompress the buffer */ H5Z_nbit_decompress(outbuf, d_nelmts, (unsigned char *)*buf, cd_values); // XXX: decompress data into outbuf ``` When entering the H5ZNBITATOMIC case, the library copy input from the file into a structure that gets passed to H5Znbitdecompressoneatomic. This loop will iterate for the number of elements that were stored in the dataset. The field that is used later to write outside the buffer allocated in the prior snippet is used to determine the precision of a binary-coded-decimal number. ``` src/H5Znbit.c:1140 static void H5Z_nbit_decompress(unsigned char *data, unsigned d_nelmts, unsigned char *buffer, const unsigned parms[]) { switch(parms[3]) { case H5Z_NBIT_ATOMIC: /* set the index before goto function call */ p.size = parms[4]; p.order = parms[5]; p.precision = parms[6]; // XXX: used later p.offset = parms[7]; for(i = 0; i < d_nelmts; i++) { H5Z_nbit_decompress_one_atomic(data, i*p.size, buffer, &j, &buf_len, p); } break; ``` Once inside H5Znbitdecompressoneatomic, the library will use the value of p.precision to calculate the index into the buffer that was allocated. Due to a lack of bounds-checking, this index will allow for a loop that is executed later to write outside the bounds of the buffer. If precision is larger than datatype_len, then the index can be made to overflow. ``` src/H5Znbit.c:1012 static void H5Z_nbit_decompress_one_atomic(unsigned char *data, size_t data_offset, unsigned char *buffer, size_t *j, int *buf_len, parms_atomic p) { /* begin_i: the index of byte having first significant bit end_i: the index of byte having last significant bit */ int k, begin_i, end_i, datatype_len; datatype_len = p.size * 8; if(p.order == H5Z_NBIT_ORDER_BE) { /* big endian */ /* calculate begin_i and end_i */ begin_i = (datatype_len - p.precision - p.offset) / 8; // XXX: p.precision is used here to calculate begin_i if(p.offset % 8 != 0) end_i = (datatype_len - p.offset) / 8; else end_i = (datatype_len - p.offset) / 8 - 1; for(k = begin_i; k <= end_i; k++) H5Z_nbit_decompress_one_byte(data, data_offset, k, begin_i, end_i, // XXX: k == begin_i buffer, j, buf_len, p, datatype_len); It is within H5Z_nbit_decompress_one_byte that the library will write outside it's bounds. Due to the value of begin_i pointing outside the buffer, this can be used to trigger a buffer overflow and overwrite adjacent data. This is a heap-based buffer overflow and can lead to code execution within the context of the library. src/H5Znbit.c:943 static void H5Z_nbit_decompress_one_byte(unsigned char *data, size_t data_offset, int k, int begin_i, int end_i, unsigned char *buffer, size_t *j, int *buf_len, parms_atomic p, int datatype_len) { data[data_offset + k] = // XXX: data_offset + k points outside of data ((val & ~(~0 << *buf_len)) << (dat_len - *buf_len)) << uchar_offset; ``` ### Crash Analysis ``` $ gdb --directory ~/build/hdf5-1.8.16/release/bin -q --args ~/build/hdf5-1.8.16/release/bin/h5dump 00015 8.hdf Reading symbols from /home/vrt/build/hdf5-1.8.16/release/bin/h5dump...done.
