net: Check for the minimum IP fragmented datagram size
Nicolas Bidron and Nicolas Guigo reported the two bugs below: " ----------BUG 1---------- In compiled versions of U-Boot that define CONFIG_IP_DEFRAG, a value of `ip->ip_len` (IP packet header's Total Length) higher than `IP_HDR_SIZE` and strictly lower than `IP_HDR_SIZE+8` will lead to a value for `len` comprised between `0` and `7`. This will ultimately result in a truncated division by `8` resulting value of `0` forcing the hole metadata and fragment to point to the same location. The subsequent memcopy will overwrite the hole metadata with the fragment data. Through a second fragment, this can be exploited to write to an arbitrary offset controlled by that overwritten hole metadata value. This bug is only exploitable locally as it requires crafting two packets the first of which would most likely be dropped through routing due to its unexpectedly low Total Length. However, this bug can potentially be exploited to root linux based embedded devices locally. ```C static struct ip_udp_hdr *__net_defragment(struct ip_udp_hdr *ip, int *lenp) { static uchar pkt_buff[IP_PKTSIZE] __aligned(PKTALIGN); static u16 first_hole, total_len; struct hole *payload, *thisfrag, *h, *newh; struct ip_udp_hdr *localip = (struct ip_udp_hdr *)pkt_buff; uchar *indata = (uchar *)ip; int offset8, start, len, done = 0; u16 ip_off = ntohs(ip->ip_off); /* payload starts after IP header, this fragment is in there */ payload = (struct hole *)(pkt_buff + IP_HDR_SIZE); offset8 = (ip_off & IP_OFFS); thisfrag = payload + offset8; start = offset8 * 8; len = ntohs(ip->ip_len) - IP_HDR_SIZE; ``` The last line of the previous excerpt from `u-boot/net/net.c` shows how the attacker can control the value of `len` to be strictly lower than `8` by issuing a packet with `ip_len` between `21` and `27` (`IP_HDR_SIZE` has a value of `20`). Also note that `offset8` here is `0` which leads to `thisfrag = payload`. ```C } else if (h >= thisfrag) { /* overlaps with initial part of the hole: move this hole */ newh = thisfrag + (len / 8); *newh = *h; h = newh; if (h->next_hole) payload[h->next_hole].prev_hole = (h - payload); if (h->prev_hole) payload[h->prev_hole].next_hole = (h - payload); else first_hole = (h - payload); } else { ``` Lower down the same function, execution reaches the above code path. Here, `len / 8` evaluates to `0` leading to `newh = thisfrag`. Also note that `first_hole` here is `0` since `h` and `payload` point to the same location. ```C /* finally copy this fragment and possibly return whole packet */ memcpy((uchar *)thisfrag, indata + IP_HDR_SIZE, len); ``` Finally, in the above excerpt the `memcpy` overwrites the hole metadata since `thisfrag` and `h` both point to the same location. The hole metadata is effectively overwritten with arbitrary data from the fragmented IP packet data. If `len` was crafted to be `6`, `last_byte`, `next_hole`, and `prev_hole` of the `first_hole` can be controlled by the attacker. Finally the arbitrary offset write occurs through a second fragment that only needs to be crafted to write data in the hole pointed to by the previously controlled hole metadata (`next_hole`) from the first packet. ### Recommendation Handle cases where `len` is strictly lower than 8 by preventing the overwrite of the hole metadata during the memcpy of the fragment. This could be achieved by either: * Moving the location where the hole metadata is stored when `len` is lower than `8`. * Or outright rejecting fragmented IP datagram with a Total Length (`ip_len`) lower than 28 bytes which is the minimum valid fragmented IP datagram size (as defined as the minimum fragment of 8 octets in the IP Specification Document: [RFC791](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc791) page 25). ----------BUG 2---------- In compiled versions of U-Boot that define CONFIG_IP_DEFRAG, a value of `ip->ip_len` (IP packet header's Total Length) lower than `IP_HDR_SIZE` will lead to a negative value for `len` which will ultimately result in a buffer overflow during the subsequent `memcpy` that uses `len` as it's `count` parameter. This bug is only exploitable on local ethernet as it requires crafting an invalid packet to include an unexpected `ip_len` value in the IP UDP header that's lower than the minimum accepted Total Length of a packet (21 as defined in the IP Specification Document: [RFC791](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc791)). Such packet would in all likelihood be dropped while being routed to its final destination through most routing equipment and as such requires the attacker to be in a local position in order to be exploited. ```C static struct ip_udp_hdr *__net_defragment(struct ip_udp_hdr *ip, int *lenp) { static uchar pkt_buff[IP_PKTSIZE] __aligned(PKTALIGN); static u16 first_hole, total_len; struct hole *payload, *thisfrag, *h, *newh; struct ip_udp_hdr *localip = (struct ip_udp_hdr *)pkt_buff; uchar *indata = (uchar *)ip; int offset8, start, len, done = 0; u16 ip_off = ntohs(ip->ip_off); /* payload starts after IP header, this fragment is in there */ payload = (struct hole *)(pkt_buff + IP_HDR_SIZE); offset8 = (ip_off & IP_OFFS); thisfrag = payload + offset8; start = offset8 * 8; len = ntohs(ip->ip_len) - IP_HDR_SIZE; ``` The last line of the previous excerpt from `u-boot/net/net.c` shows where the underflow to a negative `len` value occurs if `ip_len` is set to a value strictly lower than 20 (`IP_HDR_SIZE` being 20). Also note that in the above excerpt the `pkt_buff` buffer has a size of `CONFIG_NET_MAXDEFRAG` which defaults to 16 KB but can range from 1KB to 64 KB depending on configurations. ```C /* finally copy this fragment and possibly return whole packet */ memcpy((uchar *)thisfrag, indata + IP_HDR_SIZE, len); ``` In the above excerpt the `memcpy` overflows the destination by attempting to make a copy of nearly 4 gigabytes in a buffer that's designed to hold `CONFIG_NET_MAXDEFRAG` bytes at most which leads to a DoS. ### Recommendation Stop processing of the packet if `ip_len` is lower than 21 (as defined by the minimum length of a data carrying datagram in the IP Specification Document: [RFC791](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc791) page 34)." Add a check for ip_len lesser than 28 and stop processing the packet in this case. Such a check covers the two reported bugs.
