http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1023002 Bug ID: 1023002 Summary: VUL-0: pax-utils: scanelf: out of bounds read in scanelf_file_textrel (scanelf.c) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Security Assignee: security-team@suse.de Reporter: mikhail.kasimov@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Ref: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2017/q1/255 ============================================== Description: pax-utils is a set of tools that check files for security relevant properties. A fuzz on scanelf exposed an out-of bound read. It was reported to vapier which fixed the issue immediately. Unfortunately I can’t get a symbolized ASan stacktrace, so I will show only the useful part of both asan and gdb. # scanelf -s '*' -axetrnibSDIYZB $FILE ==1853==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: unknown-crash on address 0x7f4099d25008 at pc 0x00000053586e bp 0x7fff335cb8b0 sp 0x7fff335cb8a8 READ of size 8 at 0x7f4099d25008 thread T0 #0 0x53586d (/usr/bin/scanelf+0x53586d) #1 0x51f526 (/usr/bin/scanelf+0x51f526) #2 0x51b97e (/usr/bin/scanelf+0x51b97e) #3 0x51ad43 (/usr/bin/scanelf+0x51ad43) #4 0x51922e (/usr/bin/scanelf+0x51922e) #5 0x7f4098afd61f (/lib64/libc.so.6+0x2061f) #6 0x41a008 (/usr/bin/scanelf+0x41a008) (gdb) bt #8 0x000000000053586e in scanelf_file_textrel (elf=, found_textrel=) at scanelf.c:560 #9 0x000000000051f527 in scanelf_elfobj (elf=) at scanelf.c:1536 #10 0x000000000051b97f in scanelf_elf (filename=0x7fffffffe50e "/tmp/afl/scanelf/report/crashes/2.crashes", fd=, len=) at scanelf.c:1612 #11 scanelf_fileat (dir_fd=, filename=, st_cache=) at scanelf.c:1679 #12 0x000000000051ad44 in scanelf_dirat (dir_fd=, path=) at scanelf.c:1713 #13 0x000000000051922f in scanelf_dir (path=) at scanelf.c:1763 #14 parseargs (argc=5, argv=0x7fffffffe258) at scanelf.c:2273 #15 main (argc=5, argv=) at scanelf.c:2361 Affected version: 1.2 Fixed version: 1.2.1 Commit fix: https://github.com/gentoo/pax-utils/commit/95e5489534ac9e9324c5096286899b688...
