I happened to notice that a public X.509 certificate testcase for CVE-2014-1569 caused a stack buffer overflow in MatrixSSL.

I cleaned up the testcase a bit, to make a better demonstration. You can test it with the certValidate tool that comes with MatrixSSL.

$ gdb -q --args matrixssl/matrixssl/test/certValidate stackbufferoverflow.pem
Reading symbols from matrixssl/matrixssl/test/certValidate...done.
(gdb) r

#10x4141414141414141 in ?? ()
#20x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

I believe any client or server that validates certificates will be affected by this, and as MatrixSSL is usually used in embedded devices where mitigations are usually not quite as thorough as modern distributions, exploitation might not be difficult.

The bug is that pubRsaDecryptSignedElementExt() uses a fixed size stack buffer, but then doesn't check if the key size exceeds it. The patch below should solve it.

diff --git a/crypto/pubkey/rsa_pub.c b/crypto/pubkey/rsa_pub.c

 /* Raw, in-place RSA decryption. */


I'm filing this issue just for tracking, as the testcase is already public I just went ahead and created a public issue:

https://github.com/matrixssl/matrixssl/issues/26

It looks like the maintainers are preparing to publish version 4.0.2 to correct this bug:
