X41 D-Sec GmbH Security Advisory: X41-2018-001
Multiple Vulnerabilities in Yubico Piv
======================================
Overview
- --------
Confirmed Affected Versions: 1.5.0
Confirmed Patched Versions: 1.6.0
Vendor: Yubico
Vendor URL: https://www.yubico.com/
Vendor Advisory URL: https://www.yubico.com/support/security-advisories

Summary and Impact
- ------------------
A buffer overflow and an out of bounds memory read were identified in
the yubico-piv-tool-1.5.0, these can be triggered by a malicious token.
X41 did not perform a full test or audit on the software.
Product Description
- -------------------
YubiKey 4, YubiKey 4 Nano, YubiKey 4C, YubiKey 4C Nano, and YubiKey
NEO provide Smart Card functionality based on the Personal Identity
Verification (PIV) interface specified in NIST SP 800-73,
aCryptographic Algorithms and Key Sizes for PIV.a
Out of Bounds Write via Malicious APDU
======================================
Severity Rating: High
Vector: APDU Response
CVE: CVE-2018-14779
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
- ------------------
File lib/ykpiv.c contains the following code in function
ykpiv_transfer_data()
{% highlight c %}
if(*outlen + recvlen - 2 > maxout) {
fprintf(stderr, "Output buffer to small, wanted to write %lu,
max was %lu.", *outlen + recvlen - 2, maxout);
}
if(outdata) {
memcpy(outdata, data, recvlen - 2);
outdata += recvlen - 2;
*outlen += recv_len - 2;
}
{% endhighlight %}
It is clearly checked whether the buffer is big enough to hold the
data copied using memcpy(), but no error handling happens to avoid the
memcpy() in such cases. This code path can be triggered with malicious
data coming from a smartcard.
Workarounds
- -----------
None
Out of Bounds Read via malicious APDU
=====================================
Severity Rating: LOW
Vector: APDU Response
CVE: CVE-2018-14780
CWE: 125
CVSS Score: 2.2 (Low)
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N
Summary and Impact
- ------------------
File lib/ykpiv.c contains the following code in function
_ykpiv_fetch_object()
{% highlight c %}
if(sw == SWSUCCESS) {
sizet outlen;
int offs = ykpivgetlength(data + 1, &outlen);
if(offs == 0) {
return YKPIVSIZEERROR;
}
memmove(data, data + 1 + offs, outlen);
*len = outlen;
return YKPIVOK;
} else {
return YKPIVGENERICERROR;
}
{% endhighlight %}
In the end, a memmove() occurs with a length retrieved from APDU data.
This length is not checked if it is outside of the APDU data
retrieved. Therefore the memmove() could copy bytes behind the
allocated data buffer into this buffer.
Workarounds
- -----------
None
