Apple macOS/IOS 10.12.2 (16C67) - 'mach_msg' Heap Overflow

EDB-ID: 41778
Author: Google Security Research
Published: 2017-03-30
CVE: CVE-2017-2456
Type: Dos
Platform: Multiple
Aliases: N/A
Advisory/Source: Link
Tags: N/A
Vulnerable App: N/A

 Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1083 

When sending ool memory via |mach_msg| with |deallocate| flag or |MACH_MSG_VIRTUAL_COPY| flag, |mach_msg| performs moving the memory to the destination process instead of copying it. But it doesn't consider the memory entry object that could resurrect the moved memory. As a result, it could lead to a shared memory race condition.

Exploitation:
We need specific code that references the memory twice from |mach_msg|.
Here's a snippet of such a function |xpc_dictionary_insert|.

v14 = strlen(shared_memory); <<-- 1st
v15 = _xpc_malloc(v14 + 41);
...
strcpy((char *)(v15 + 32), shared_memory); <<-- 2nd

If we change the string's length bigger before |strcpy| is called, it will result in a heap overflow.

This bug is triggerable from a sandboxed process.

The attached PoC will crash diagnosticd(running as root). It requires more than 512MB memory to run.

Tested on macOS Sierra 10.12.2(16C67).

clang++ -o poc poc.cc -std=c++11
