Flash: out-of-bounds write with mp4 file missing a track #246

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
To reproduce, use the attached SWF that loads the attached malformed mp4 file. 
I believe the root cause of the bug is that an unexpected ordering of mp4 tags 
leads to an out-of-bounds write. Specifically, if the mp4 file lacks any tracks 
and then hits a tag which is describing a property of the current track, the 
fault will occur.

On a 64-bit build:

=> 0x0000000000b7b639:  mov    %eax,0xc(%rdx)

rax            0x41414141   1094795585
rdx            0x8187e4920fd8   142420655345624

As can be seen, the value being written to the out-of-bounds location is under 
attacker control. The out-of-bounds location appears to be quite wild, perhaps 
+4GB out-of-bounds. An example of how to exploit such issues, even in the 
presence of a memory limit, is covered on the Project Zero blog:

On 32-bit, I believe the corruption will be much more subtle, always landing in 
an allocated chunk, due to address-space wrap around at 4GB. I'd expect the 
issue to be more reliably exploitable on 32-bit, but even getting a PoC that 
crashes on 32-bit would be a lot more work.

This bug is subject to a 90 day disclosure deadline. If 90 days elapse
without a broadly available patch, then the bug report will automatically
become visible to the public.
