From 1067cdba6d08f2a765cb0ea371189a5b703eb4db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Petr=20P=C3=ADsa=C5=99?= Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2018 16:39:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix a heap-buffer-overflow in find_archive() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit rw_buffer has allocated rw_base_size bytes. But subsequend fgets() in find_archive() reads up-to BUFSIZ bytes. On my system, BUFSIZ is 8192. rw_base_size is usually equaled to a memory page size, 4096 on my system. Thus find_archive() can write beyonded allocated memmory for rw_buffer array: $ valgrind -- ./unshar /tmp/id\:000000\,sig\:06\,src\:000005+000030\,op\:splice\,rep\:4 ==30582== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==30582== Copyright (C) 2002-2017, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==30582== Using Valgrind-3.13.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==30582== Command: ./unshar /tmp/id:000000,sig:06,src:000005+000030,op:splice,rep:4 ==30582== ==30582== Invalid write of size 1 ==30582== at 0x4EAB480: _IO_getline_info (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.27.so) ==30582== by 0x4EB47C2: fgets_unlocked (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.27.so) ==30582== by 0x10BF60: fgets_unlocked (stdio2.h:320) ==30582== by 0x10BF60: find_archive (unshar.c:243) ==30582== by 0x10BF60: unshar_file (unshar.c:379) ==30582== by 0x10BCCC: validate_fname (unshar-opts.c:604) ==30582== by 0x10BCCC: main (unshar-opts.c:639) ==30582== Address 0x523a790 is 0 bytes after a block of size 4,096 alloc'd ==30582== at 0x4C2DBBB: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:299) ==30582== by 0x10C670: init_unshar (unshar.c:450) ==30582== by 0x10BC55: main (unshar-opts.c:630) This was reported in .
