SLPD DOUBLE FREE
================
CVE-2018-12938
An issue was found in openslp-2.0.0 that can be used to induce a double free bug or memory corruption by
corrupting glibc's doubly-linked memory chunk list. At the time of writing, no patch has been made available.
The issue was discovered by Magnus Klaaborg Stubman.
On line 409 of slpd_process.c, the *sendbuf pointer is copied to result.
On line 251, the first reallocation takes place, potentially free()ing the memory if
it was moved as part of the reallocation.
On line 547, the second reallocation is done, again potentially free()ing the memory
if it has to be moved as part of the reallocation, potentially resulting in a double free bug.
Code snippets from openslp-2.0.0/slpd/slpd_process.c:
237 static int ProcessDASrvRqst(SLPMessage * message, SLPBuffer * sendbuf, int errorcode)
238 {
..
243 size_t initial_buffer_size = 4096;
..
246 /* Special case for when libslp asks slpd (through the loopback) about
247 * a known DAs. Fill sendbuf with DAAdverts from all known DAs.
248 */
249 if (SLPNetIsLoopback(&message->peer))
250 {
251 *sendbuf = SLPBufferRealloc(*sendbuf, initial_buffer_size); <-- first reallocation
..
402 static int ProcessSrvRqst(SLPMessage * message, SLPBuffer * sendbuf,
403 int errorcode)
404 {
405 int i;
406 SLPUrlEntry * urlentry;
407 SLPDDatabaseSrvRqstResult * db = 0;
408 size_t size = 0;
409 SLPBuffer result = *sendbuf; <-- pointer is copied
..
460 /* check to to see if a this is a special SrvRqst */
461 if (SLPCompareString(message->body.srvrqst.srvtypelen,
462 message->body.srvrqst.srvtype, 23, SLP_DA_SERVICE_TYPE) == 0)
463 {
464 errorcode = ProcessDASrvRqst(message, sendbuf, errorcode); <-- sendbuf passed to function
..
546 /* reallocate the result buffer */
547 result = SLPBufferRealloc(result, size); <-- second reallocation
PROOF OF CONCEPT
================
The following patch can be used to understand the reallocation behavior:
diff --git a/common/slp_buffer.c b/common/slp_buffer.c
index 1cab3f5..b3e3ff1 100644
--- a/common/slp_buffer.c
+++ b/common/slp_buffer.c
@@ -104,7 +104,9 @@ SLPBuffer SLPBufferRealloc(SLPBuffer buf, size_t size)
/* Allocate one extra byte for null terminating strings that
* occupy the last field of the buffer.
*/
+ printf("xrealloc(%p, %u) = ", buf, sizeof(struct _SLPBuffer) + size + 1);
result = xrealloc(buf, sizeof(struct _SLPBuffer) + size + 1);
+ printf(" = %p\n", result);
if (result)
result->allocated = size;
}
In order to induce a double-free condition the heap must be massaged
such that the reallocation attempts to move memory around.
A proof of concept exploit was developed that demonstrates the vulnerability:

xrealloc(0x137ba50, 69) =
*** Error in `./slpd/slpd': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x000000000137ba50 ***
As shown in slpd's output prior to crashing, 0x138dd30 is returned when 0x137ba50 is
reallocated, thus free()ing 0x137ba50. However, afterwards 0x137ba50 is yet again reallocated,
and due to the layout of the heap, free()d a second time, resulting in a double free.

IMPACT
======
Although not attempted, the issue may be exploitable such that a remote unauthenticated
attacker may gain Remote Code Execution, since double frees have been known to be exploitable
leading to RCE. As such, this issue may score 'high' on CVSS.

Hash: SHA256
[Suggested description]
slpd_process.c in OpenSLP 2.0.0 has a double free resulting in
denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly unauthenticated remote code execution.
------------------------------------------
[Additional Information]
A proof of concept exploit has been developed, but due to size
constraints of this form it cannot sent. I can provide it over e-mail
if needed. I originally reported this issue to the maintainers on
2018-01-23 but they have failed to provide a patch. I am publicly
disclosing the issue as soon as a CVE-ID is assigned.
Vulnerability:
On line 409 of slpd_process.c, the *sendbuf pointer is copied to result.
On line 251, the first reallocation takes place, potentially free()ing the memory if
it was moved as part of the reallocation.
On line 547, the second reallocation is done, again potentially free()ing the memory
if it has to be moved as part of the reallocation, potentially resulting in a double free bug.
