Vigil@nce: PHP, integer overflow of dechunk

May 2010 by Vigil@nce

This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : http://vigilance.fr/

SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY

An attacker can generate an integer overflow in the PHP filter
reassembling HTTP chunk encoded data.

 Severity: 2/4
 Creation date: 04/05/2010

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

An HTTP response can be split in several "chunks", by using the
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header.

The PHP file_get_contents() function can use filters to manage
data. The "read=dechunk" filter automatically reassembles HTTP
fragments.

However, this filter does not correctly manage negative chunk
sizes, which corrupts the memory.

An attacker with a malicious HTTP server can therefore send a
malicious reply to PHP applications using this filter. This error
leads to a denial of service, and eventually to code execution.
