| Titre | This shouldn\'t have happened: A vulnerability postmortem |
| Texte | Posted by Tavis Ormandy, Project Zero Introduction This is an unusual blog post. I normally write posts to highlight some hidden attack surface or interesting complex vulnerability class. This time, I want to talk about a vulnerability that is neither of those things. The striking thing about this vulnerability is just how simple it is. This should have been caught earlier, and I want to explore why that didn’t happen. In 2021, all good bugs need a catchy name, so I’m calling this one “BigSig”. First, let’s take a look at the bug, I’ll explain how I found it and then try to understand why we missed it for so long. Analysis Network Security Services (NSS) is Mozilla's widely used, cross-platform cryptography library. When you verify an ASN.1 encoded digital signature, NSS will create a VFYContext structure to store the necessary data. This includes things like the public key, the hash algorithm, and the signature itself. struct VFYContextStr { SECOidTag hashAlg; /* the hash algorithm */ SECKEYPublicKey *key; union { unsigned char buffer[1]; unsigned char dsasig[DSA_MAX_SIGNATURE_LEN]; unsigned char ecdsasig[2 * MAX_ECKEY_LEN]; unsigned char rsasig[(RSA_MAX_MODULUS_BITS + 7) / 8]; } u; unsigned int pkcs1RSADigestInfoLen; unsigned ch |
