I cannot reproduce this.

Please edit tests/test-pass-group-cert, and remove the redirection(s) to /dev/null. Then run the test script manually and post the output.

Comment 4 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2020-05-08 02:43:15 UTC
This is probably not a bug in openconnect or ocserv, so I am unblocking the stable request.

Copying samba for net-libs/socket_wrapper, and toolchain for the stack smashing error. Can you provide any insight?

Do you have a backtrace for that crash?

Comment 7 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-05-08 13:49:55 UTC
valgrind did not find any problems. asan refused to work with LD_PRELOADED libraries that manually load libc.so.6.

Resorting to tracking who stack canary on stack.

Before looking at the specifics here is how stack canary usually looks like on arm64:

  // cat a.c
  void g(const char *);
  void f(void)
  {
     char b[128];
     g(b);
  }

$ aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -c -S a.c; cat a.s
  ...
  f:
	stp	x29, x30, [sp, -176]!
	mov	x29, sp
	str	x19, [sp, 16]
	adrp	x19, :got:__stack_chk_guard
	add	x0, sp, 40
	ldr	x19, [x19, #:got_lo12:__stack_chk_guard]
	ldr	x1, [x19]
	str	x1, [sp, 168]
	mov	x1,0

	bl	g

	ldr	x1, [sp, 168]
	ldr	x0, [x19]
	eor	x0, x1, x0
	cbnz	x0, .L5
	ldr	x19, [sp, 16]
	ldp	x29, x30, [sp], 176
	ret
.L5:
	bl	__stack_chk_fail

It's a very verbose way to:
- load value by '__stack_chk_guard' absolute address into 'x19' register
- store canary copy on stack at '[sp +168]' address
- restore canary from stack and from address at 'x19' and compare it back.

A good hint here is that right after the store 'x1' value is zeroed out with 'mov x1,0'.

Let's track life of a canary in 'load_certificate' and see where it gets corrupted:

I added 'gdb --args' to openconnect call in test-pass-group-cert-no-pass and removed a few unused evals.

    LD_PRELOAD="libsocket_wrapper.so" gdb --args $OPENCONNECT --authgroup group1 ...

  # bash -x ./test-pass-group-cert-no-pass
  ...
  Connecting to obtain cookie - group1 (with certificate)... + LD_PRELOAD=libsocket_wrapper.so
  + gdb --args /usr/sbin/openconnect --authgroup group1 -q 127.0.0.2:6555 --sslkey ./certs/user-group-key.pem -c ./certs/user-group-cert.pem -u test --servercert=d66b507ae074d03b02eafca40d35f87dd81049d3 --cookieonly

Here is our canary store:

   0x0000ffffb7f88d40 <+56>:	ldr	x1, [x0]
   0x0000ffffb7f88d44 <+60>:	str	x1, [sp, #504]
   0x0000ffffb7f88d48 <+64>:	mov	x1, #0x0                   	// #0

Absolute address of canary copy on stack is '[sp, #504]'. Let's find it out and trace it's life:

  (gdb) break *0x0000ffffb7f88d48
  Breakpoint 3 at 0xffffb7f88d48: file gnutls.c, line 916.
  (gdb) continue
  Continuing.
  Breakpoint 3, 0x0000ffffb7f88d48 in load_certificate (vpninfo=vpninfo@entry=0xaaaaaaae5140) at gnutls.c:916

Looks like a valid canary in register, stack and global variable:

  (gdb) print (void*)$x1
  $3 = (void *) 0xb9b1883f29832000
  (gdb) print *(void**)($sp+504)
  $4 = (void *) 0xb9b1883f29832000
  (gdb) print *(void**)&__stack_chk_guard
  $6 = (void *) 0xb9b1883f2983200

Print stack address and add a watch point on it:

  (gdb) print (void*)($sp+504)
  $7 = (void *) 0xffffffffea
  (gdb) watch *(void**)0xffffffffeaa8
  Hardware watchpoint 3: *(void**)0xffffffffeaa8
  (gdb) continue
  Continuing.

  Hardware watchpoint 3: *(void**)0xffffffffeaa8

  Old value = (void *) 0xffffb7f8c2b4 <openconnect_open_https+572>
  New value = (void *) 0xc9d1f41373228800

I think it tells us that 'name[namelen-1] = 0;' corrupted the stack. 

Probably 'name' value:
  (gdb) printf "%#x\n", (void*)$x20
  0xffffea58

Probably 'namelen-1' value:
  (gdb) printf "%#x\n", (void*)$x1
  0x54 # 84

But get_cert_name is ever called against 'name' with namelen=80.

Let's see if I can find if 'namelen' is inflated by 'gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn' when it fails or somewhere else.

openconnect-8.06-get_cert_name-overflow.patch shoud fix the overflow in net-vpn/openconnect

From http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn_by_oid.3.html : 
"""
RETURNS
       GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER if the provided buffer is not long
       enough, and in that case the  buf_size will be updated with the
       required size. GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE if there are no

In our case 'namelen' is extended from 80 to 84 chars. Then corrupts one byte with 'name[namelen-1] = 0;'.
