CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds Read

Details

The Microsoft Media Foundation is a COM based multimedia framework available in Microsoft Windows since Windows Vista. It provides all sort of functionality related with audio/video operations.

This vulnerability is present in the Media Foundation MPEG4 dll which is part of the Microsoft Media Foundation framework.A specially crafted QuickTime can lead to aninformation disclosure vulnerability. Attaching a debugger to the Windows Media Player (with PageHeap turned on) and loading the malformed MOV file we end up in the following context:

(7b4.e798): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.

As we can see out of bounds access occurred while trying to read a DWORD value from the unallocated/GUARD_PAGE page. Further analysis revealed that while parsing the keys atom structure located in the PoC file at offset : 0x3ED, the method mfmp4srcsnk!CQTMetadataKeysAtom::ParseAtom will stop parsing further keys items if one of them has corrupted size.

We can observe it in the pseudocode below:

Line 1 	CVPtrList *__stdcall CQTMetadataKeysAtom::ParseAtom(struct_this_3 *this)
Line 2 	{
Line 3 	  
Line 4 	  
Line 5 			_keys_size = (unsigned int *)_byteswap_ulong(*keys_size);// amount of keys ... here : 0x6
Line 6 			keys_size = _keys_size;
Line 7 			if ( _keys_size )
Line 8 			{

We can see that in line 28, if the key definition size is bigger that entire remain size of keys atom, the function ends its execution. That situation takes place when a key definition from the offset 0x502 is parsed. Its size is set to 00 30 E8 A9[DWORD] which is much bigger than the defined keys atom size of 0x138. As a consequence at line 41 only 5 of the 6 declared keys definitions are added to the CQTMetadataKeysAtom::KeyMapValue container .

In a further phase of the MP4 file metadata parsing, the ilst atom is parsed. That atom should contain 6 definitions of data related with corresponding keys from keys atom. An out-of-bounds read vulnerability occurs because there is no check in CQTMetadataKeysAtom::GetKeyForIndex that verifies whether the amount of keys definition read from keys atom is the same as an available keys data in ilst atom.

Line 19		CMFBaseStringT<unsigned short>::operator=((struct_this_2 *)a4, 0, &ptrCQTMetadataKeysAtom[index]->strValue);

In the method CQTMetadataKeysAtom::GetKeyForIndex an out-of-bounds read occurs at line 18 and line 19 when trying to read the key element with index 6.

We can check the boundaries of the ptrCQTMetadataKeysAtom container:

Evaluate expression: 54628468 = 03419074

So the boundary ends at address 0x03419074 and we can see at line 18 that we read a DWORD value from address 0x03419078 (which is 4 bytes further). The content of the corresponding memory looks as follows:

Based on the values related to that string object (data ptr and size) a memcpy operation is performed. If attackera are able to massage the heap properly and sets values controlled by them, this may lead to an informaiton disclosure or potential heap corruption.

Below is an example where we set String->data ptr and String->size based on values controlled by us:
