HIGH Summary
The http.c:skip_short_body() function is called in some circumstances, such as when processing redirects. When the response is sent chunked in wget before 1.19.2, the chunk parser uses strtol() to read each chunk's length, but doesn't check that the chunk length is a non-negative number. The code then tries to skip the chunk in pieces of 512 bytes by using the MIN() macro, but ends up passing the negative chunk length to connect.c:fd_read(). As fd_read() takes an int argument, the high 32 bits of the chunk length are discarded, leaving fd_read() with a completely attacker controlled length argument.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

| description | That’s an interesting vulnerability in GNU wget. According to the wget project, this was reported by Antti Levomäki, Christian Jalio, Joonas Pihlaja of Forcepoint as well as Juhani Eronen of the Finnish National Cyber Security Centre. The vulnerability is in src/http.c source code file and more precisely in skip_short_body() function. ``` /* Read the body of the request, but don't store it anywhere and don't display a progress gauge. This is useful for reading the bodies of administrative responses to which we will soon issue another request. The response is not useful to the user, but reading it allows us to continue using the same connection to the server. If reading fails, false is returned, true otherwise. In debug mode, the body is displayed for debugging purposes. */ static bool skip_short_body (int fd, wgint contlen, bool chunked) { enum { SKIP_SIZE = 512, /* size of the download buffer */ SKIP_THRESHOLD = 4096 /* the largest size we read */ }; wgint remaining_chunk_size = 0; ... return true; } ``` The description in the comment is pretty clear but what we care about here is the “remaining_chunk_size” variable which has data type of “wgint”. This is a data type defined in src/wget.h header file based on the architecture and operating system. ``` /* Pick an integer type large enough for file sizes, content lengths, and such. Because today's files can be very large, it should be a signed integer at least 64 bits wide. This can't be typedeffed to off_t because: a) off_t is always 32-bit on Windows, and b) we don't necessarily want to tie having a 64-bit type for internal calculations to having LFS support. */ #ifdef WINDOWS /* nothing to do, see mswindows.h */ #elif SIZEOF_LONG >= 8 /* long is large enough, so use it. */ typedef long wgint; # define SIZEOF_WGINT SIZEOF_LONG #elif SIZEOF_LONG_LONG >= 8 /* long long is large enough and available, use that */ typedef long long wgint; # define SIZEOF_WGINT SIZEOF_LONG_LONG #elif HAVE_INT64_T typedef int64_t wgint; # define SIZEOF_WGINT 8 #elif SIZEOF_OFF_T >= 8 /* In case off_t is typedeffed to a large non-standard type that our tests don't find. */ typedef off_t wgint; # define SIZEOF_WGINT SIZEOF_OFF_T #else /* Fall back to using long, which is always available and in most cases large enough. */ typedef long wgint; # define SIZEOF_WGINT SIZEOF_LONG #endif ``` What is worth noting is all of the type definitions are using signed data types. This means that “wgint” variables can get both positive and negative values. Now that this is clear, let’s move back to http.c and skip_short_body() function. ``` static bool skip_short_body (int fd, wgint contlen, bool chunked) { ... SKIP_SIZE = 512, /* size of the download buffer */ ... wgint remaining_chunk_size = 0; char dlbuf[SKIP_SIZE + 1]; ... while (contlen > 0 || chunked) { int ret; if (chunked) { if (remaining_chunk_size == 0) { char *line = fd_read_line (fd); char *endl; if (line == NULL) break; remaining_chunk_size = strtol (line, &endl, 16); xfree (line); ... contlen = MIN (remaining_chunk_size, SKIP_SIZE); ... ret = fd_read (fd, dlbuf, MIN (contlen, SKIP_SIZE), -1); ... } ``` So, when wget processes chunked responses it will enter this “while” loop (content length greater than zero or the response is chunked). When the chunk size gets to 0, it will read the next line using fd_read_line() and then attempt to retrieve the remaining chunk size using strtol() in hexadecimal. This value is 100% controlled by the response header and it could be anything, including so large that it will wrap around this signed integer into a negative value. Then MIN() macro will be used to compare that value with SKIP_SIZE (which is 512) and use this to initialize “contlen” signed integer. If “remaining_chunk_size” had a negative value it means that this will now be stored in “contlen” which is then used in fd_read() leading to a stack based buffer overflow as the attacker completely controls the size argument that is used to copy data from “fd” (the HTTP page) to “dlbuf” (stack based buffer with size of 513 bytes). The fix was relatively simple as you can see below. ``` remaining_chunk_size = strtol (line, &endl, 16); xfree (line); + if (remaining_chunk_size < 0) + return false; + if (remaining_chunk_size == 0) ``` The fix was a simple bound check after the strtol() call to ensure that the value of “remaining_chunk_size” was not set to a negative value before continuing with the processing. |
