CVE-2019-11704 / X41-2019-001
X41 D-Sec GmbH Security Advisory: X41-2019-001
Heap-based buffer overflow in Thunderbird
=========================================
Severity Rating: High
Confirmed Affected Versions: All versions affected
Confirmed Patched Versions: Thunderbird ESR 60.7.XXX
Vendor: Thunderbird
Vendor URL: https://www.thunderbird.net/
Vendor Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1553814
Vector: Incoming mail with calendar attachment
Credit: X41 D-SEC GmbH, Luis Merino
Status: Public
CVE: CVE-2019-11704
CWE: 122
CVSS Score: 7.8
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O
Advisory-URL:
https://www.x41-dsec.de/lab/advisories/x41-2019-002-thunderbird
Summary and Impact
==================
A heap-based buffer overflow has been identified in the Thunderbird
email client. The issue is present in the libical implementation, which
was forked from upstream libical version 0.47.
The issue can be triggered remotely, when an attacker sends an specially
crafted calendar attachment and does not require user interaction. It
might be used by a remote attacker to crash or gain remote code
execution in the client system.
This issue was initially reported by Brandon Perry here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1280832
and fixed in libical upstream, but was never fixed in Thunderbird.
X41 did not perform a full test or audit on the software.
Product Description
===================
Thunderbird is a free and open source email, newsfeed, chat, and
calendaring client, that's easy to set up and customize.
Analysis
========
A heap-based buffer overflow in icalvalue.c
icalmemory_strdup_and_dequote() can be triggered while parsing a
calendar attachment containing a malformed or specially crafted
string.
~~~
static char *icalmemorystrdupanddequote(const char *str)
{
char *out = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * strlen(str) + 1);
char *pout = out;
// ...
for (p = str; *p!=0; p++){
if( *p == '\')
{
p++;
// ...
else
{
*pout = *p;
}
}
~~~
Bounds checking in `icalmemorystrdupanddequote()can be bypassed when the
inputp` ends with a backslash, which enables an attacker to read out
of bounds of the input buffer and writing out of bounds of a
heap-allocated
output buffer.
The issue manifests in several ways, including out of bounds read and
write, null-pointer dereference and frequently leads to heap corruption.
It is expected that an attacker can exploit this vulnerability to
achieve remote code execution.
Proof of Concept
================
A reproducer EML file can be found in:
https://github.com/x41sec/advisories/tree/master/X41-2019-001
Workarounds
===========
A fix is available from upstream. Alternatively, libical can be replaced
by icaljs, a JavaScript implementation of ical parsing, by setting
calendar.icaljs = true in Thunderbird configuration.

Advisory-URL:
https://www.x41-dsec.de/lab/advisories/x41-2019-003-thunderbird
Summary and Impact
==================
A stack-based buffer overflow has been identified in the Thunderbird
email client. The issue is present in the libical implementation, which
was forked from upstream libical version 0.47.
The issue can be triggered remotely, when an attacker sends an specially
crafted calendar attachment and does not require user interaction. It
might be used by a remote attacker to crash or gain remote code
execution in the client system.
X41 did not perform a full test or audit on the software.
Product Description
===================
Thunderbird is a free and open source email, newsfeed, chat, and
calendaring client, that's easy to set up and customize.
Analysis
========
A stack-based buffer overflow in icalrecur.c icalrecur_add_bydayrules()
can be triggered while parsing a calendar attachment containing a
malformed or specially crafted string.
~~~
static int icalrecuraddbydayrules(struct icalrecurparser *parser,
const char *vals)
{
short *array = parser->rt.byday;
// ...
while (n != 0) {
// ...
if (wd != ICALNOWEEKDAY) {
array[i++] = (short) (sign * (wd + 8 * weekno));
array[i] = ICALRECURRENCEARRAYMAX;
}
}
~~~
Missing sanity checks in `icalrecuradd_bydayrules()can lead to
out of bounds write in aarraywhenweekno` takes an invalid value.
The issue manifests as an out-of-bounds write in a stack allocated
buffer overflow.
It is expected that an attacker can exploit this vulnerability to
achieve remote code execution when proper stack smashing mitigations
are missing.
Proof of Concept
================
A reproducer eml file can be found in

The issue is present in the libical implementation, which was forked from upstream libical version 0.47. The issue can be triggered remotely, when an attacker sends an specially crafted calendar attachment and does not require user interaction. It might be used by a remote attacker to crash the process or leak information from the client system via calendar replies. X41 did not perform a full test or audit on the software. Product Description =================== Thunderbird is a free and open source email, newsfeed, chat, and calendaring client, that's easy to set up and customize. Analysis ======== A type confusion in icalproperty.c icaltimezone_get_vtimezone_properties() can be triggered while parsing a malformed calendar attachment. Missing sanity checks allows a TZID property to be parsed as ICALFLOATVALUE but it is later used as a string. The bug manifests with strdup(tzid); being called with tzid containing a bad pointer obtained by casting to char* from a float value, which typically means segfaulting by dereferencing a non-mapped memory page. An attacker might be able to deliver an input file containing specially crafted float values as TZID properties which could point to arbitrary memory positions. Certain conditions could allow to exfiltrate information via a calendar reply or other undetermined impact.

Once this is fixed, I'm going to write a notice to the list and an errata suggesting that users upgrade ASAP due to the libical vulnerability.
All you have to do is receive an email with a .ICS file that has the payload in it - you don't even have to open it. This is due to the way that Thunderbird processes and indexes mails while it's downloading them.
