Attackers with local access can exploit security issues in the smartcard driver. These result in memory corruptions, which might lead to code execution. Since smartcards can be used for authentication, the vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to login to the system without valid credentials as any user.

Multiple Vulnerabilities in Apple smartcardservices

Summary and Impact
- ------------------
Attackers with local access can exploit security issues in the
smartcard driver. These result in memory corruptions, which might lead
to code execution. Since smartcards can be used for authentication,
the vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to login to the system
without valid credentials as any user.
X41 did not perform a full test or audit on the software.
Product Description
- -------------------
The Smart Card Services project is comprised of several components
which, when combined, provide the necessary abstraction layer and
integration of smart cards into Appleas CDSA implementation.
Stack based buffer overflow
===========================
Severity Rating: Medium
Vector: APDU Response
CVE: CVE-2018-4300
CWE: 120
CVSS Score: 7.1 (High)
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary and Impact
- ------------------
In file Tokend/CAC/CACRecord.cpp the function
CACCertificateRecord::getDataAttribute() might overwrite the value
certificate and possibly other stack data, if a smartcard provides
malicious data.
{% highlight c++ %}
unsigned char command[] = { 0x80, 0x36, 0x00, 0x00, 0x64 };
unsigned char result[MAXBUFFERSIZE];
sizet resultLength = sizeof(result);
uint8 certificate[CACMAXSIZECERT];
uint8 uncompressed[CACMAXSIZECERT];
sizet certificateLength = 0;
try
{
PCSC::Transaction (cacToken);
cacToken.select(mApplication);
uint32t cacreturn;
do
{
cacreturn = cacToken.exchangeAPDU(command,
sizeof(command), result,
resultLength);
if ((cacreturn & 0xFF00) != 0x6300)
CACError::check(cacreturn);
sizet requested = command[4];
if (resultLength != requested + 2)
PCSC::Error::throwMe(SCARDEPROTOMISMATCH);
memcpy(certificate + certificateLength,
result, resultLength - 2);
certificateLength += resultLength - 2;
// Number of bytes to fetch next time around
is in the last byte
// returned.
command[4] = cacreturn & 0xFF;
} while ((cacreturn & 0xFF00) == 0x6300);
}
catch (...)
{
return NULL;
}
{% endhighlight %}
As long as the smartcard returns a return code of 0x63FF, more data is
copied into the certificate buffer, causing a stack based overflow. A
malicious smartcard is able to control all of the overflowed bytes.
Workarounds
- -----------
None
Stack based buffer overflow with limited input
==============================================
Severity Rating: Medium
Vector: APDU Response
CVE: CVE-2018-4301
CWE: 120
CVSS Score: 7.1 (High)
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary and Impact
- ------------------
In file Tokend/PKCS11/GemaltoKeyHandle.cpp the function
GemaltoPrivateKeyRecord::computeDecrypt() might overwrite the value
strData if the supplied dataLength is too big.
{% highlight c++ %}
void GemaltoPrivateKeyRecord::computeDecrypt(GemaltoToken
&gemaltoToken, CKULONG mech, const AccessCredentials *cred, unsigned
char *data, sizet dataLength, unsigned char output, size_t &outputLength)
{
GemaltoToken::log("\nGemaltoPrivateKeyRecord::computeDecrypt
<BEGIN>\n");
GemaltoToken::log("GemaltoPrivateKeyRecord::computeDecrypt -
mechanism <%lu>\n", mech);
GemaltoToken::log("GemaltoPrivateKeyRecord::computeDecrypt -
cred <%p>\n", cred);
char strData[6000];
memset(strData, '\0', sizeof(strData));
char str = strData;
for (size_t i=0; i<dataLength; i++)
{
str += sprintf(str, "%02x ", data[i]);
}
GemaltoToken::log("GemaltoPrivateKeyRecord::computeDecrypt -
dataLength <%lu> - data <%s>\n", dataLength, strData);
GemaltoToken::log("GemaltoPrivateKeyRecord::computeDecrypt -
output <%p>\n", output);
GemaltoToken::log("GemaltoPrivateKeyRecord::computeDecrypt -
outputLength <%lu>\n", outputLength);
{% endhighlight %}
The attacker might control the data which is to be decrypted, but
exploitation is limited by the sprintf() format string.
