<id>81a7be2cd69b412ab6aeacfe5ebf1bb6e5bce955</id>
<content type='text'>
asn1_ber_decoder() was ignoring errors from actions associated with the
opcodes ASN1_OP_END_SEQ_ACT, ASN1_OP_END_SET_ACT,
ASN1_OP_END_SEQ_OF_ACT, and ASN1_OP_END_SET_OF_ACT.  In practice, this
meant the pkcs7_note_signed_info() action (since that was the only user
of those opcodes).  Fix it by checking for the error, just like the
decoder does for actions associated with the other opcodes.

This bug allowed users to leak slab memory by repeatedly trying to add a
specially crafted "pkcs7_test" key (requires CONFIG_PKCS7_TEST_KEY).

In theory, this bug could also be used to bypass module signature
verification, by providing a PKCS#7 message that is misparsed such that
a signature's -&gt;authattrs do not contain its -&gt;msgdigest.  But it
doesn't seem practical in normal cases, due to restrictions on the
format of the -&gt;authattrs.

<title>ASN.1: fix out-of-bounds read when parsing indefinite length item</title>
<updated>2017-12-08T15:13:27+00:00</updated>

<id>e0058f3a874ebb48b25be7ff79bc3b4e59929f90</id>
<content type='text'>
In asn1_ber_decoder(), indefinitely-sized ASN.1 items were being passed
to the action functions before their lengths had been computed, using
the bogus length of 0x80 (ASN1_INDEFINITE_LENGTH).  This resulted in
reading data past the end of the input buffer, when given a specially
crafted message.

Fix it by rearranging the code so that the indefinite length is resolved
before the action is called.

This bug was originally found by fuzzing the X.509 parser in userspace
using libFuzzer from the LLVM project.

<title>KEYS: fix NULL pointer dereference during ASN.1 parsing [ver #2]</title>

syzkaller reported a NULL pointer dereference in asn1_ber_decoder().  It
can be reproduced by the following command, assuming
CONFIG_PKCS7_TEST_KEY=y:

        keyctl add pkcs7_test desc '' @s

The bug is that if the data buffer is empty, an integer underflow occurs
in the following check:

        if (unlikely(dp &gt;= datalen - 1))
                goto data_overrun_error;

This results in the NULL data pointer being dereferenced.

Fix it by checking for 'datalen - dp &lt; 2' instead.

Also fix the similar check for 'dp &gt;= datalen - n' later in the same
function.  That one possibly could result in a buffer overread.

The NULL pointer dereference was reproducible using the "pkcs7_test" key
type but not the "asymmetric" key type because the "asymmetric" key type
checks for a 0-length payload before calling into the ASN.1 decoder but
the "pkcs7_test" key type does not.

The bug report was:

<title>KEYS: fix out-of-bounds read during ASN.1 parsing</title>

syzkaller with KASAN reported an out-of-bounds read in
asn1_ber_decoder().  It can be reproduced by the following command,
assuming CONFIG_X509_CERTIFICATE_PARSER=y and CONFIG_KASAN=y:

    keyctl add asymmetric desc $'\x30\x30' @s

The bug is that the length of an ASN.1 data value isn't validated in the
case where it is encoded using the short form, causing the decoder to
read past the end of the input buffer.  Fix it by validating the length.

The bug report was:

<title>KEYS: Fix ASN.1 indefinite length object parsing</title>

<content type='text'>
This fixes CVE-2016-0758.

In the ASN.1 decoder, when the length field of an ASN.1 value is extracted,
it isn't validated against the remaining amount of data before being added
to the cursor.  With a sufficiently large size indicated, the check:

	datalen - dp &lt; 2

may then fail due to integer overflow.

Fix this by checking the length indicated against the amount of remaining
data in both places a definite length is determined.

Whilst we're at it, make the following changes:

 (1) Check the maximum size of extended length does not exceed the capacity
     of the variable it's being stored in (len) rather than the type that
     variable is assumed to be (size_t).

 (2) Compare the EOC tag to the symbolic constant ASN1_EOC rather than the
     integer 0.

 (3) To reduce confusion, move the initialisation of len outside of:

	for (len = 0; n &gt; 0; n--) {

     since it doesn't have anything to do with the loop counter n.

<title>ASN.1: Handle 'ANY OPTIONAL' in grammar</title>

<content type='text'>
An ANY object in an ASN.1 grammar that is marked OPTIONAL should be skipped
if there is no more data to be had.

This can be tested by editing X.509 certificates or PKCS#7 messages to
remove the NULL from subobjects that look like the following:

	SEQUENCE {
	  OBJECT(2a864886f70d01010b);
	  NULL();
	}

This is an algorithm identifier plus an optional parameter.

The modified DER can be passed to one of:

	keyctl padd asymmetric "" @s &lt;/tmp/modified.x509
	keyctl padd pkcs7_test foo @s &lt;/tmp/modified.pkcs7

It should work okay with the patch and produce EBADMSG without.

<title>ASN.1: Fix non-match detection failure on data overrun</title>
<updated>2015-08-05T11:54:46+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>David Howells</name>

<id>0d62e9dd6da45bbf0f33a8617afc5fe774c8f45f</id>
<content type='text'>
If the ASN.1 decoder is asked to parse a sequence of objects, non-optional
matches get skipped if there's no more data to be had rather than a
data-overrun error being reported.

This is due to the code segment that decides whether to skip optional
matches (ie. matches that could get ignored because an element is marked
OPTIONAL in the grammar) due to a lack of data also skips non-optional
elements if the data pointer has reached the end of the buffer.

This can be tested with the data decoder for the new RSA akcipher algorithm
that takes three non-optional integers.  Currently, it skips the last
integer if there is insufficient data.

Without the fix, #defining DEBUG in asn1_decoder.c will show something
like:

	next_op: pc=0/13 dp=0/270 C=0 J=0
	- match? 30 30 00

The next_op line for pc=8/13 should be followed by a match line.

This is not exploitable for X.509 certificates by means of shortening the
message and fixing up the ASN.1 CONS tags because:

 (1) The relevant records being built up are cleared before use.

 (2) If the message is shortened sufficiently to remove the public key, the
     ASN.1 parse of the RSA key will fail quickly due to a lack of data.

 (3) Extracted signature data is either turned into MPIs (which cope with a
     0 length) or is simpler integers specifying algoritms and suchlike
     (which can validly be 0); and

 (4) The AKID and SKID extensions are optional and their removal is handled
     without risking passing a NULL to asymmetric_key_generate_id().

 (5) If the certificate is truncated sufficiently to remove the subject,
     issuer or serialNumber then the ASN.1 decoder will fail with a 'Cons
     stack underflow' return.

This is not exploitable for PKCS#7 messages by means of removal of elements
from such a message from the tail end of a sequence:

 (1) Any shortened X.509 certs embedded in the PKCS#7 message are survivable
     as detailed above.

 (2) The message digest content isn't used if it shows a NULL pointer,
     similarly, the authattrs aren't used if that shows a NULL pointer.

 (3) A missing signature results in a NULL MPI - which the MPI routines deal
     with.

 (4) If data is NULL, it is expected that the message has detached content and
     that is handled appropriately.

 (5) If the serialNumber is excised, the unconditional action associated
     with it will pick up the containing SEQUENCE instead, so no NULL
     pointer will be seen here.

     If both the issuer and the serialNumber are excised, the ASN.1 decode
     will fail with an 'Unexpected tag' return.

     In either case, there's no way to get to asymmetric_key_generate_id()
     with a NULL pointer.

 (6) Other fields are decoded to simple integers.  Shortening the message
     to omit an algorithm ID field will cause checks on this to fail early
     in the verification process.


This can also be tested by snipping objects off of the end of the ASN.1 stream
such that mandatory tags are removed - or even from the end of internal
SEQUENCEs.  If any mandatory tag is missing, the error EBADMSG *should* be
produced.  Without this patch ERANGE or ENOPKG might be produced or the parse
may apparently succeed, perhaps with ENOKEY or EKEYREJECTED being produced
later, depending on what gets snipped.

Just snipping off the final BIT_STRING or OCTET_STRING from either sample
should be a start since both are mandatory and neither will cause an EBADMSG
without the patches

If the ASN.1 decoder is asked to parse a sequence of objects, non-optional
matches get skipped if there's no more data to be had rather than a
data-overrun error being reported.

This is due to the code segment that decides whether to skip optional
matches (ie. matches that could get ignored because an element is marked
OPTIONAL in the grammar) due to a lack of data also skips non-optional
elements if the data pointer has reached the end of the buffer.

This can be tested with the data decoder for the new RSA akcipher algorithm
that takes three non-optional integers.  Currently, it skips the last
integer if there is insufficient data.

Without the fix, #defining DEBUG in asn1_decoder.c will show something
like:

	next_op: pc=0/13 dp=0/270 C=0 J=0
	- match? 30 30 00
	- TAG: 30 266 CONS
	next_op: pc=2/13 dp=4/270 C=1 J=0

<title>ASN.1: Fix actions on CHOICE elements with IMPLICIT tags</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=3f3af97d8225a58ecdcde7217c030b17e5198226'/>
<id>3f3af97d8225a58ecdcde7217c030b17e5198226</id>
<content type='text'>
In an ASN.1 description where there is a CHOICE construct that contains
elements with IMPLICIT tags that refer to constructed types, actions to be
taken on those elements should be conditional on the corresponding element
actually being matched.  Currently, however, such actions are performed
unconditionally in the middle of processing the CHOICE.

For example, look at elements 'b' and 'e' here:

	A ::= SEQUENCE {
			CHOICE {
			b [0] IMPLICIT B ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_b }),
			c [1] EXPLICIT C ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_c }),
			d [2] EXPLICIT B ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_d }),
			e [3] IMPLICIT C ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e }),
			f [4] IMPLICIT INTEGER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_f })
			}
		} ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_A })

	B ::= SET OF OBJECT IDENTIFIER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_oid })

	C ::= SET OF INTEGER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_int })

They each have an action (do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_b and do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e) that
should only be processed if that element is matched.

The problem is that there's no easy place to hang the action off in the
subclause (type B for element 'b' and type C for element 'e') because
subclause opcode sequences can be shared.

To fix this, introduce a conditional action opcode(ASN1_OP_MAYBE_ACT) that
the decoder only processes if the preceding match was successful.  This can
be seen in an excerpt from the output of the fixed ASN.1 compiler for the
above ASN.1 description:

	[  13] =  ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP,		// e
	[  14] =  _tagn(CONT, CONS,  3),
	[  15] =  _jump_target(45),		// --&gt; C
	[  16] =  ASN1_OP_MAYBE_ACT,
	[  17] =  _action(ACT_do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e),

In this, if the op at [13] is matched (ie. element 'e' above) then the
action at [16] will be performed.  However, if the op at [13] doesn't match
or is skipped because it is conditional and some previous op matched, then
the action at [16] will be ignored.

Note that to make this work in the decoder, the ASN1_OP_RETURN op must set
the flag to indicate that a match happened.  This is necessary because the
_jump_target() seen above introduces a subclause (in this case an object of
type 'C') which is likely to alter the flag.  Setting the flag here is okay
because to process a subclause, a match must have happened and caused a
jump.

This cannot be tested with the code as it stands, but rather affects future
code.
