Subject: [FD] Advisory X41-2017-002: Multiple Vulnerabilities in ytnef


X41 D-Sec GmbH Security Advisory: X41-2017-002

Multiple Vulnerabilities in ytnef
=================================

Overview
--------
Severity Rating: High
Confirmed Affected Versions: 1.9 and earlier
Confirmed Patched Versions: 1.9.1
Vendor: Yerase
Vendor URL: https://github.com/Yeraze/ytnef
Vector: Via file
Credit: X41 D-Sec GmbH, Eric Sesterhenn
Status: public
CVE: not yet assigned
CVSS Score: 7.4
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N
Advisory-URL: https://www.x41-dsec.de/lab/advisories/x41-2017-002-ytnef/


Summary and Impact
------------------
Multiple Heap Overflows, out of bound writes and reads, NULL pointer
dereferences and infinite loops have been discovered in ytnef 1.9 an
earlier.
These could be exploited by tricking a user into opening a malicious
winmail.dat file.


Product Description
-------------------
ytnef offers a library and utilities to extract the files from winmail.dat
files. winmail.dat files are send by Microsoft Outlook when forwarding files
via e-mail. The vendor was very responsive in providing a patched version.


Analysis
--------
Due to the big amount of issues found no detailed analysis is given here.
Almost all allocations were unchecked and out of bounds checks rarely
performed in the code.

In total 9 patches were generated for the following issues:

1. Null Pointer Deref / calloc return value not checked
2. Infinite Loop / DoS
3. Buffer Overflow in version field
4. Out of Bound Reads
5. Integer Overflow
6. Invalid Write and Integer Overflow
7. Out of Bounds read
8. Out of Bounds read and write
9. Directory Traversal using the filename


To detail some of the findings, here are excerpts from the quickly written
patch, which was send to the vendor:
