From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Axtens Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2022 18:17:03 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] net/http: Fix OOB write for split http headers GRUB has special code for handling an http header that is split across two packets. The code tracks the end of line by looking for a "\n" byte. The code for split headers has always advanced the pointer just past the end of the line, whereas the code that handles unsplit headers does not advance the pointer. This extra advance causes the length to be one greater, which breaks an assumption in parse_line(), leading to it writing a NUL byte one byte past the end of the buffer where we reconstruct the line from the two packets. It's conceivable that an attacker controlled set of packets could cause this to zero out the first byte of the "next" pointer of the grub_mm_region structure following the current_line buffer. Do not advance the pointer in the split header case.
