ASN.1: Fix non-match detection failure on data overrun
commit 0d62e9dd6da45bbf0f33a8617afc5fe774c8f45f upstream. 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 - match? 02 02 00 - TAG: 02 257 - LEAF: 257 next_op: pc=5/13 dp=265/270 C=1 J=0 - match? 02 02 00 - TAG: 02 3 - LEAF: 3 next_op: pc=8/13 dp=270/270 C=1 J=0 next_op: pc=11/13 dp=270/270 C=1 J=0 - end cons t=4 dp=270 l=270/270 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 Reported-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Tested-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Reviewed-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Amit Pundir <amit.pundir@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
