Summary

An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists within the reading of proprietary server certificates in FreeRDP 2.0.0-beta1+android11. A specially crafted challenge packet can cause the program termination leading to a denial of service condition. An attacker can compromise the server or use man in the middle to trigger this vulnerability.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Creating a Rogue Certificate Authority Certificate
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MD5 hash algorithm (weak collision resistance) to generate a certificate signing request (CSR) that contains collision blocks in the "to be signed" part. The attacker specially crafts two different, but valid X.509 certificates that when hashed with the MD5 algorithm would yield the same value. The attacker then sends the CSR for one of the certificates to the Certification Authority which uses the MD5 hashing algorithm. That request is completely valid and the Certificate Authority issues an X.509 certificate to the attacker which is signed with its private key. An attacker then takes that signed blob and inserts it into another X.509 certificate that the attacker generated. Due to the MD5 collision, both certificates, though different, hash to the same value and so the signed blob works just as well in the second certificate. The net effect is that the attackers' second X.509 certificate, which the Certification Authority has never seen, is now signed and validated by that Certification Authority. To make the attack more interesting, the second certificate could be not just a regular certificate, but rather itself a signing certificate. Thus the attacker is able to start their own Certification Authority that is anchored in its root of trust in the legitimate Certification Authority that has signed the attackers' first X.509 certificate. If the original Certificate Authority was accepted by default by browsers, so will now the Certificate Authority set up by the attacker and of course any certificates that it signs. So the attacker is now able to generate any SSL certificates to impersonate any web server, and the user's browser will not issue any warning to the victim. This can be used to compromise HTTPS communications and other types of systems where PKI and X.509 certificates may be used (e.g., VPN, IPSec) .

description### Summary An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists within the reading of proprietary server certificates in FreeRDP 2.0.0-beta1+android11. A specially crafted challenge packet can cause the program termination leading to a denial of service condition. An attacker can compromise the server or use man in the middle to trigger this vulnerability. ### Tested Versions FreeRDP 2.0.0-beta1+android11 - Windows, OSX, Linux ### Product URLs http://www.freerdp.com/ ### CVSSv3 Score 6.5 - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H ### CWE CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound ### Details FreeRDP is a remote desktop protocol implementation available for all of the major operating systems. Many of the commercial remote desktop protocol applications actually use this library as their core. The vulnerability arises in the parsing of proprietary certificates. ``` static BOOL certificate_process_server_public_key(rdpCertificate* certificate, wStream* s, UINT32 length) { BYTE magic[4]; UINT32 keylen; UINT32 bitlen; UINT32 datalen; UINT32 modlen; ... Stream_Read_UINT32(s, keylen); Stream_Read_UINT32(s, bitlen); Stream_Read_UINT32(s, datalen); modlen = keylen - 8; [1] if (Stream_GetRemainingLength(s) < modlen + 8) // count padding [2] return FALSE; certificate->cert_info.ModulusLength = modlen; certificate->cert_info.Modulus = malloc(certificate->cert_info.ModulusLength); [3] if (!certificate->cert_info.Modulus) return FALSE; Stream_Read(s, certificate->cert_info.Modulus, certificate->cert_info.ModulusLength); [4] ``` In processing a servers proprietary certificate, the function calls out to read the public key. It takes the key length directly from the packet and decrements eight from it, [1]. It then does a check on the length by adding the eight back and comparing it to the stream length. The vulnerability arises here when a value less than eight is passed in. It passes the check but wraps around and causes a large allocation to be made, [3]. The denial of service arises at, [4] when the stream is now read into the oversized buffer and an out-of-bounds read occurs. ### Crash Information ``` Crashed thread log = : Dispatch queue:
