Topic : | PHP WDDX Session Deserialization Information Leak Vulnerability
|
SecurityAlert : 2321
CVE : CVE-2007-0908
SecurityRisk : Medium (About)
Remote Exploit : Yes
Local Exploit : Yes
Exploit Available : Yes
Credit : Stefan Esser
Published : 05.03.2007
Affected Software : | Affected are PHP 4 < 4.4.5 and PHP < 5.2.1 |
 Advisory Content : The PHP WDDX extension comes with a serialization handler that adds support
for the WDDX data format to PHP's session handling. When this data contains
a numerical key the key_length variable is not properly initialized which
will leak an arbitrary amount of stack data into the session array keys
This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information stored on the
stack, like offsets of variables and code (useful for further attacks that
require exact offsets), stack canaries, etc.
The handling of numerical keys inside the WDDX deserializer is broken
switch (hash_type) {
case HASH_KEY_IS_LONG:
sprintf(tmp, "%ld", idx);
key = tmp;
/* fallthru */
case HASH_KEY_IS_STRING:
php_set_session_var(key, key_length-1, *ent, NULL
TSRMLS_CC);
PS_ADD_VAR(key);
}
The numerical key is written into a 128 byte stackbuffer and then (because
of the fallthru) the variable is added to the session. Unfortunately the
key_length variable is not properly initialized in the numerical key case.
Therefore only the beginning of the variable name is initialised and the
rest of the key_length bytes comes directly from stack data.
An attacker can control how many bytes are leaked by placing a variable
with a string name infront of the numerical index variable. In that case
the key_length is equal to the length of the variable name and therefore
completely under control of the attacker.
Proof of concept, exploit or instructions to reproduce
The attached proof of concept exploit will leak 8192 bytes of stack data
into PHP variables and produce a hexdump.

Notes
This is one of the many vulnerabilities of the MOPB that were previously
disclosed by us to the vendor and is therefore fixed in their latest
updates. We therefore recommend updating PHP atleast PHP 4.4.5 or PHP 5.2.1
to fix this issue.
