A vulnerability classified as very critical has been found in unrar up to 5.5.4. Affected is an unknown code block. The manipulation of the argument DestPos
as part of a Negative Value leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
A VMSF_DELTA memory corruption was discovered in unrar before 5.5.5, as used in Sophos Anti-Virus Threat Detection Engine before 3.37.2 and other products, that can lead to arbitrary code execution. An integer overflow can be caused in DataSize+CurChannel. The result is a negative value of the "DestPos" variable, which allows the attacker to write out of bounds when setting Mem[DestPos].
The bug was discovered 06/22/2017. The weakness was shared 06/22/2017 by Tavis Ormandy (Website). The advisory is shared for download at nakedsecurity.sophos.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2012-6706 since 06/22/2017. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details and a public exploit are known. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 10/20/2019). The reason for this vulnerability is this part of code:
case VMSF_DELTA: { int DataSize=R[4],Channels=R[0],SrcPos=0,Border=DataSize*2; if ((uint)DataSize>=VM_MEMSIZE/2) break; // Bytes from same channels are grouped to continual data blocks, // so we need to place them back to their interleaving positions. for (int CurChannel=0;CurChannel<Channels;CurChannel++) { byte PrevByte=0; for (int DestPos=DataSize+CurChannel;DestPos<Border;DestPos+=Channels) Mem[DestPos]=(PrevByte-=Mem[SrcPos++]); } } break;The advisory points out:
It appears that the VMSF_DELTA memory corruption that was reported to Sophos AV in 2012 (and fixed there) was actually inherited from upstream unrar. For unknown reasons the information did not reach upstream rar or was otherwise lost, and the bug seems to have persisted there to this day.
A public exploit has been developed by Google Security Research in Base64 and been published 1 days after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at github.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. As 0-day the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 101065 (Debian DLA-1003-1 : unrar-nonfree security update), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 11893 (McAfee Web Gateway Multiple Vulnerabilities (SB10205)). The code used by the exploit is:
