             Bug #: 13656
           Summary: vfprintf nargs integer overflow
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: kees@outflux.net
    Classification: Unclassified


The nargs value can overflow when doing allocations, and argument-based offsets
are not bounds-checked, allowing arbitrary memory writes via format strings,
bypassing _FORTIFY_SOURCE protections:

http://www.phrack.org/issues.html?issue=67&id=9

Patch in progress:
http://cygwin.com/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00016.html

Fixed in git head, this should be backported to all active branches.

FYI, a comment form Laszlo Ersek in Red Hat BZ:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=794766#c8


The easiest fix would have been to restrict "nargs" to NL_ARGMAX.

Tomas, could you or Laszlo bring this up on libc-alpha, please?

This was posted in:
  http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-03/msg00101.html

Replies indicate it is preferred to limit nargs by available memory rather than
using an arbitrary limit, i.e. what Kees' patch was doing already.
