Advisoriesby IbisLibRaw: Out of bounds write in LibRaw::sonyParseSR2
Summary
Memory corruption can be achieved by parsing a SR2 file containing a Image File Directory (IFD) with more than 64 TIFFs of specific types.
Severity
Moderate - The values written out of bounds are unsigned short read from the input and written as float. The libraw_data_t struct - in which the overflow manifests - cannot be overrun to target adjacent objects, because the maximum number of entries is 1000 and the remaining size of the struct is greater. However, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability to target adjacent struct fields and achieve second-order memory corruption.
Proof of Concept
1. Compile LibRaw following the instructions on https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw/blob/158e635e5e80a95dfa402b0a79a7167922c1d4ec/INSTALL
2. Run the bin/simple_dcraw sample binary: bin/simple_dcraw [poc.sr2.bin](https://github.com/google/security-research/blob/master/pocs/LibRaw/poc.sr2.bin)
Further Analysis
LibRaw supports SR2 files, a proprietary binary format developed by Sony to encode RAW pictures. The SR2 container directory is identified by TIFF tag 0xc634 and contains the details for the encrypted TIFF entries, such as the length and the key necessary to decrypt the nested content.
The entrypoint is LibRaw::open_buffer, which internally calls LibRaw::identify. There are two paths to reach LibRaw::parseSonySR2, both of these are via...

### Summary Memory corruption can be achieved by parsing a SR2 file containing a Image File Directory (IFD) with more than 64 TIFFs of specific types. ### Severity Moderate - The values written out of bounds are `unsigned short` read from the input and written as `float`. The `libraw_data_t` struct - in which the overflow manifests - cannot be overrun to target adjacent objects, because the maximum number of entries is 1000 and the remaining size of the struct is greater. However, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability to target adjacent struct fields and achieve second-order memory corruption. ### Proof of Concept 1. Compile LibRaw following the instructions on https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw/blob/158e635e5e80a95dfa402b0a79a7167922c1d4ec/INSTALL 2. Run the `bin/simple_dcraw` sample binary: bin/simple_dcraw [poc.sr2.bin](https://github.com/google/security-research/blob/master/pocs/LibRaw/poc.sr2.bin) ### Further Analysis LibRaw supports SR2 files, a proprietary binary format developed by Sony to encode RAW pictures. The SR2 container directory is identified by TIFF tag `0xc634` and contains the details for the encrypted TIFF entries, such as the length and the key necessary to decrypt the nested content. The entrypoint is `LibRaw::open_buffer`, which internally calls `LibRaw::identify`. There are two paths to reach `LibRaw::parseSonySR2`, both of these are via `LibRaw::parse_tiff_ifd`, called in the “identify” stage. Taking one as example, the nested directory is decrypted on https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw/blob/158e635e5e80a95dfa402b0a79a7167922c1d4ec/src/metadata/tiff.cpp#L1669 and the underlying TIFF entries are handled by `LibRaw::sonyParseSR2`, called immediately after. The first two bytes represent the number of entries and the remaining bytes represent the nested TIFF entries themselves. The issue can be triggered via two different sets of TIFF tags, handled on https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw/blob/158e635e5e80a95dfa402b0a79a7167922c1d4ec/src/metadata/sony.cpp#L2209 or on https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw/blob/158e635e5e80a95dfa402b0a79a7167922c1d4ec/src/metadata/sony.cpp#L2222. The first out of bounds value is limited to the `Sony_SR2_wb_list1` entries higher than 255, while the 4 values after come from the input. It is possible to write out of `icWBCCTC` (alias of `imgdata.color.WBCT_Coeffs`) bounds, as it can only store up to 64 entries (https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw/blob/158e635e5e80a95dfa402b0a79a7167922c1d4ec/libraw/libraw_types.h#L796), while LibRaw allows up to 1000 (https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw/blob/158e635e5e80a95dfa402b0a79a7167922c1d4ec/src/metadata/sony.cpp#L2129). ### Timeline **Date reported**: 05/24/2024 **Date fixed**: 05/25/2024 **Date disclosed**: 07/15/2024
