From 7a28a14cf6ed547dfd2e52a4db17f47242bfdef9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikias Bassen Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 02:00:27 +0100 Subject: bplist: Disallow key nodes with non-string node types As reported in #86, the binary plist parser would force the type of the key node to be of type PLIST_KEY while the node might be of a different i.e. non-string type. A following plist_free() might then call free() on an invalid pointer; e.g. if the node is of type integer, its value would be considered a pointer, and free() would cause an error. We prevent this issue by disallowing non-string key nodes during parsing. --- src/bplist.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/bplist.c b/src/bplist.c index 0122e08..73fa4e0 100644 --- a/src/bplist.c +++ b/src/bplist.c @@ -441,6 +441,13 @@ static plist_t parse_dict_node(struct bplist_data *bplist, const char** bnode, u plist_free(node); return NULL; } + + if (plist_get_data(key)->type != PLIST_STRING) { + fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: Malformed binary plist dict, invalid node type for key!\n"); + plist_free(node); + return NULL; + } + /* enforce key type */ plist_get_data(key)->type = PLIST_KEY; if (!plist_get_data(key)->strval) { -- cgit v1.1-32-gdbae
