| Título | libimobiledevice fa0f79190142bc309307967c058f89c1b36eb6b8 - version 1.4.0 heap leak |
|---|
| Descripción | unchecked realloc + memcpy
Location: src/webinspector.c:221-230
if (!packet) {
packet = (char*)malloc(length * sizeof(char));
} else {
newpacket = (char*)realloc(packet, (packet_length + length) * sizeof(char));
packet = newpacket; // NULL not checked
}
memcpy(packet + packet_length, buffer, length); // NULL -> SIGSEGV
Root cause. Partial messages reassembled via realloc; the result is assigned to packet without checking NULL. On allocation failure the old pointer is lost (leak) and memcpy dereferences NULL (crash). Public entry: webinspector_receive_with_timeout (include/libimobiledevice/webinspector.h:131).
normal path: one WIRPartialMessageKey chunk + one WIRFinalMessageKey chunk of a valid binary plist → client reassembles and prints the plist (exercises the realloc path once).
many partial chunks, no final → packet grows without bound (memory DoS; crash requires forcing realloc to fail, e.g. under ASAN size caps).
Impact. Heap leak under OOM; reliable NULL-memcpy crash when realloc fails; unbounded memory growth with an endless partial stream. |
