[PATCH 0/20] bounds-checks for chunk-based files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As part of my -Wunused-parameter series, I noticed that a few callbacks
used with the chunk-format API ignored the "chunk_size" parameter. I had
initially just annotated these with UNUSED under the usual "well, not
all callbacks need all parameters" logic.

But if you think about it, a chunk callback that does not look at the
chunk size _must_ be buggy, as there is no way it could ensure that it
does not read past the end of the chunk. In a well-formed file this
isn't a problem, since most chunks have expected sizes (e.g., a
commit-graph has a fixed-size commit-data record for every commit
mentioned in its index chunk). But it is very easy to get out-of-bounds
reads for files that are not well-formed.

I think the security implications here are pretty minor. The only files
which use the chunk format are multi-pack-index and commit-graph,
neither of which we'd expect to receive over the network (so you'd need
to access an untrusted tarball, etc, to even see a malicious file). And
we'd never try to write to this memory (they're read-only mmaps of the
files). So your worst case is probably an unexpected out-of-bounds read
and segfault, on a file that is hard to put in front of the victim.

But I think it's still worth fixing. The extra checks aren't very
expensive, and let us handle bugs or corruption more gracefully, as
well.

It's a lot of patches because there are a lot of chunk types. ;) But
each one is hopefully pretty straightforward in isolation. I tried to
group similar chunks together (e.g., commit-graph and midx both have
OIDF and OIDL chunks), but otherwise just fixed the midx chunks in the
order they appear in the code, followed by the same for commit-graph.
