    Nth Dimension Security Advisory (NDSA20121010)
    Date: 10th October 2012
    Author: Tim Brown <mailto:timb@nth-dimension.org.uk>
    URL: <http://www.nth-dimension.org.uk/> / <http://www.machine.org.uk/>
    Product: Konqueror 4.7.3 <http://konqueror.kde.org/>
    Vendor: KDE <http://www.kde.org/>
    Risk: Medium
    
    Summary
    
    The Konqueror web browser is vulnerable to a number of memory corruption
    vulnerabilities.
    
    This advisory comes in 4 related parts:
    
    1) The Konqueror web browser is vulnerable to type confusion leading to memory
    disclosure.The root cause of this is the same as CVE-2010-0046 reported by
    Chris Rohlf which affected WebKit.
    
    2) The Konqueror web browser is vulnerable to an out of bounds memory access
    when accessing the canvas.In this case the vulnerability was identified whilst
    playing with bug #43813 from Google's Chrome repository.
    
    3) The Konqueror web browser is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference leading
    to a crash.
    
    4) The Konqueror web browser is vulnerable to a "use-after-free" class flaw when
    the context menu is used whilst the document DOM is being changed from within
    Javascript.
    
    These flaws were identified during an analysis of previously reported
    vulnerabilities that affected Google's Chrome web browser.It is believed that
    only vulnerability 1 is/was common to the two code bases.
    
    After discussions with the vendor, the following CVEs were assigned to these
    vulnerabilities:
    
    1) CVE-2012-4512
    2) CVE-2012-4513
    3) CVE-2012-4514
    4) CVE-2012-4515
    
    Solutions
    
    Nth Dimension recommends that the vendor supplied patches should be applied:
    
    1) a872c8a969a8bd3706253d6ba24088e4f07f3352
    2) 1f8b1b034ccf1713a5d123a4c327290f86d17d53
    3) 65464349951e0df9b5d80c2eb3cc7458d54923ae
    4) 4f2eb356f1c23444fff2cfe0a7ae10efe303d6d8
    
    Technical Details
    
    1) Chris's blog post
    (http://em386.blogspot.com/2010/12/webkit-css-type-confusion.html) nicely
    describes this vulnerability.
    
    It is worth noting that due to an overlap in bugs, our pre-advisory confused
    CVE-2010-4577 and CVE-2010-0046.Red Hat's bug entry for CVE-2010-4577
    references the local() CSS function, whilst their bug entry for CVE-2010-0046
    references the format() function (on very similar code paths).In the case of
    Konqueror, due to a slight reordering in calls, one patch (for CVE-2012-4512)
    actually fixes both the format() and local() issue.
    
    2) There was a sign-extension in calculating the dimensions of the canvas within
    scaleLoop , which lead to a miscalculated jump. According to KDE, in the case of
    64-bit systems this appeared only to allow a crash to be triggered however on
    32-bit systems it could lead to memory disclosure.
    
    The following PoC can trigger the crash on vulnerable versions of Konqueror:
    
    <html>
    <body>
    <canvas id="tutorial"></canvas>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var canvas = document.getElementById("tutorial");
    if (canvas.getContext) {
    var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
    canvas.width = 111111;
    }
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>
    
    It is worth noting that unlike vulnerability 2, the code here is not shared
    between WebKit and Konqueror.
    
    3) Unfortunely I no longer have the stack trace for this crash however it can be
    triggered on vulnerable versions of Konqueror using the following PoC:
    
    <html>
    <body>
    <iframe name="test" src="http://www.google.co.uk"></iframe>
    <input type=button value="test"
    onclick="window.open('javascript:alert(document.cookie)','test')" >
    </body>
    </html>
    
    4) By accessing the context menu for a given iframe whilst the iframe is being
    updated by the parent can lead to attempts to access no- onger existing objects.
     This may lead to a crash, or potentially code execution, depending on the state
    of the process at the point the no-longer existing object is accessed.
    
    The following PoC can trigger the crash on vulnerable versions of Konqueror:
    
    <html>
    <body>
    <script>
    setInterval(function () {
    document.body.innerHTML = "<iframe src=about:konqueror></iframe>";
    }, 300);
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>
    
    History
    
    On 27th July 2011, Nth Dimension contacted the KDE security team to report
    vulnerability 1.
    
    On 7th November 2011, Than Ngo of Red Hat re-reports the vulnerability 1 and
    Maksim Orlovich from KDE responds confirming that they have received the report
    and it had been escalated to Maksim Orlovich, a KDE developer working on KHTML
    to determine the impact.A proposed patch is made available on 13th November
    2010.
    
    Nth Dimension continue to examine bugs in WebKit that have been reported to
    Google and on 1st November 2011 report vulnerability 2. Maksim responds quickly
    but only to confirm receipt.There are apparently issues in reproducing
    vulnerability 2.Maksim further responds on the 6th confirming that he now has
    it working and has identified the root cause.
    
    On 2nd February 2012, Jeff Mitchell of the KDE security team requests details of
    the patches in order to make the vulnerability details public.Maksim responds
    that wires were crossed and he was waiting on KDE security team and Nth
    Dimension.Patch details as above are then supplied,
    
    On 16th February 2012, Nth Dimension report vulnerabilities 3 and 4. The KDE
    security team propose rolling all 4 bugs into 1 advisory assuming that the final
    2 vulnerabilities can quickly be triaged.Maksim responds on the 20th
    confirming he has them reproduced and offering possible fixes.
    
    Between February and October, Nth Dimension hear no further updates despite
    chasing the KDE security team in June.
    
    Nth Dimension proceed to post limited details to oss-security on 10th October
    2012.
    
    Following this, representatives from Red Hat and KDE liased with Nth Dimension
    to resolve the oustanding issues.Further patches were supplied by David Faure
    of KDE and tested by Jan Lieskovskyi and other members of the Red Hat security
    team.On 26th October 2012 an embargo was agreed to allow Nth Dimension and Red
    Hat further time to review the supplied patch for vulnerability 4. KDE will
    commit the proposed patch allowing disclosure on, or shortly after 29th October
    2012.
    
    Current
    
    As of the 30th October 2012, the state of the vulnerabilities is believed to be
    as follows.Patches have been applied to Konqueror which resolve all
    vulnerabilities.
    
    Thanks
    
    Nth Dimension would like to thank Jeff Mitchell, Maksim Orlovich and David Faure
    of KDE as well as Jan Lieskovskyi, Vincent Danen, Kurt Seifried of the Red Hat
    security team for the way they worked to resolve the issues.
