0x00 摘要
=======
* * *
PHP解析`multipart/form-datahttp`请求的body part请求头时，重复拷贝字符串导致DOS。远程攻击者通过发送恶意构造的`multipart/form-data`请求，导致服务器CPU资源被耗尽，从而远程DOS服务器。
影响范围：
```
PHP所有版本
```
0x01 漏洞入口
=========
* * *
PHP源码中`main/ rfc1867.c`负责解析`multipart/form-data`协议，DOS漏洞出现在`main/rfc46675pxultipart_buffer_headers`函数。
在详细分析漏洞函数前，先分析进入漏洞函数的路径。PHP解析`multipart/form-data`http请求体的入口函数在`SAPI_POST_HANDLER_FUNC`(rfc1867.c中的函数)，代码如下。
```
/* Get the boundary */
boundary= strstr(content_type_dup, "boundary");
if(!boundary) {
intcontent_type_len = strlen(content_type_dup);
char*content_type_lcase = estrndup(content_type_dup, content_type_len);
php_strtolower(content_type_lcase,content_type_len);
boundary= strstr(content_type_lcase, "boundary");
if(boundary) {
boundary= content_type_dup + (boundary - content_type_lcase);
}
efree(content_type_lcase);
}
if(!boundary || !(boundary = strchr(boundary, '='))) {
sapi_module.sapi_error(E_WARNING,"Missing boundary in multipart/form-data POST data");
return;
}
boundary++;
boundary_len= strlen(boundary);
…
…
while(!multipart_buffer_eof(mbuff TSRMLS_CC))
{
charbuff[FILLUNIT];
char*cd = NULL, *param = NULL, *filename = NULL, *tmp = NULL;
size_tblen = 0, wlen = 0;
off_toffset;
zend_llist_clean(&header);
if(!multipart_buffer_headers(mbuff, &header TSRMLS_CC)) {
gotofileupload_done;
}
```
SAPI_POST_HANDLER_FUNC函数首先解析请求的boundary，
0x02 漏洞函数multipart_buffer_headers执行逻辑
=====================================
* * *
进入漏洞函数，本段先分析漏洞函数的执行逻辑，下一段根据函数执行逻辑详细分析漏洞的原理。`multipart_buffer_headers`函数源码如下：
```
/* parse headers */
static intmultipart_buffer_headers(multipart_buffer *self, zend_llist *header TSRMLS_DC)
{
char*line;
mime_header_entryprev_entry = {0}, entry;
intprev_len, cur_len;
/*didn't find boundary, abort */
if(!find_boundary(self, self->boundary TSRMLS_CC)) {
return0;
}
/*get lines of text, or CRLF_CRLF */
while((line = get_line(self TSRMLS_CC)) && line[0] != '\0' )
{
/*add header to table */
char*key = line;
char*value = NULL;
if(php_rfc1867_encoding_translation(TSRMLS_C)) {
self->input_encoding= zend_multibyte_encoding_detector(line, strlen(line), self->detect_order,self->detect_order_size TSRMLS_CC);
}
/*space in the beginning means same header */
if(!isspace(line[0])) {
value= strchr(line, ':');
}
if(value) {
*value= 0;
do{ value++; } while(isspace(*value));
entry.value= estrdup(value);
entry.key= estrdup(key);
}else if (zend_llist_count(header)) { /* If no ':' on the line, add to previousline */
prev_len= strlen(prev_entry.value);
cur_len= strlen(line);
entry.value= emalloc(prev_len + cur_len + 1);
memcpy(entry.value,prev_entry.value, prev_len);
memcpy(entry.value+ prev_len, line, cur_len);
entry.value[cur_len+ prev_len] = '\0';
entry.key= estrdup(prev_entry.key);
zend_llist_remove_tail(header);
}else {
continue;
}
zend_llist_add_element(header,&entry);
prev_entry= entry;
}
return1;
}
```
`multipart_buffer_headers`函数首先找boundary，如果找到boundary就执行以下代码，逐行读取请求的输入以解析body port header:
```
while((line = get_line(self TSRMLS_CC)) && line[0] != '\0' ) { … }
```
当使用get_line读入一行字符，如果该行第一个字符line[0]不是空白字符, 查找line是否存在':'。
如果line存在字符`':'`：
value指向`':'`所在的内存地址。这时if(value)条件成立，成功解析到(header,value)对entry。调用`zend_llist_add_element(header, &entry)`存储，并使用prev_entry记录当前解析到的header，用于解析下一行。
否则，line不存在字符`':'`：
认为这一行的内容是上一行解析到header对应value的值，因此进行合并。合并操作执行以下代码。
```
prev_len= strlen(prev_entry.value);
cur_len= strlen(line);
entry.value= emalloc(prev_len + cur_len + 1); //为合并value重新分片内存
memcpy(entry.value,prev_entry.value, prev_len); //拷贝上一行解析到header对应value
memcpy(entry.value+ prev_len, line, cur_len); //把当前行作为上一行解析到header的value值，并拷贝到上一行value值得后面。
entry.value[cur_len+ prev_len] = '\0';
entry.key= estrdup(prev_entry.key);
zend_llist_remove_tail(header);
```
首先，为了合并value重新分配内存，接着拷贝上一行解析到的value值到新分配的内容，然后把当前行的字符串作为上一行解析到header的value值，并拷贝到value值得后面。最后调用`zend_llist_remove_tail(header)`删除上一行的记录。执行完后获得了新的entry，调用`zend_llist_add_element(header,&entry)`记录得到的header名值对(header,value)。
0x03 漏洞原理
=========
* * *
在`multipart_buffer_headers`函数解析header对应value时，value值存在n行。每行的字符串以空白符开头或不存字符`':'`，都触发以下合并value的代码块。那么解析header的value就要执行(n-1)次合并value的代码块。该代码块进行1次内存分配，2次内存拷贝，1次内存释放。当value值越来越长，将消耗大量的cpu时间。如果以拷贝一个字节为时间复杂度单位，value的长度为m，时间复杂度为m*m.
```
prev_len= strlen(prev_entry.value);
cur_len= strlen(line);
entry.value= emalloc(prev_len + cur_len + 1); //1次分片内存
memcpy(entry.value,prev_entry.value, prev_len); //1次拷贝
memcpy(entry.value+ prev_len, line, cur_len); //1次拷贝
entry.value[cur_len+ prev_len] = '\0';
entry.key= estrdup(prev_entry.key);
zend_llist_remove_tail(header);//1次内存释放
```
0x04 利用
=======
* * *
构造像以下恶意的http请求，当存在350000行`a\n`时，在我的测试环境中，一个http请求将消耗10s的cpu时间。每隔若干秒，同时并发多个请求，将导致server端cpu资源长期耗尽，从而到达DOS。总的来说，利用方式和Hash Collision DOS一样。

why is it?
