CVE-2023-4232: Ofono: sms decoder stack-based buffer overflow remote code execution vulnerability within the decode_status_report() function

ofono is a Open Source Telephony on Linux stack overflow bug is triggered within the decodestatusreport() function during SMS decoding here assumed that the attack scenario is accessible from a compromised modem or possibily accessible from a malicious base station or just SMS

there is a bound check for this memcpy length in decodesubmit(), but they forgot it in decodestatusreport() this is a variant from ZDI-CAN-20971 partial code path is here - atcmtnotify() - ofonosmsdelivernotify() - smsdecode() - decodestatusreport()

~~~C++ static gboolean decodestatusreport(const unsigned char pdu, int len, struct sms out) { ... if (out->statusreport.pi & 0x04) { int expected;

if (!nextoctet(pdu, len, &offset, &out->statusreport.udl)) return FALSE;

expected = smsudlinbytes(out->statusreport.udl, out->statusreport.dcs);

if ((len - offset) < expected) return FALSE;

memcpy(out->statusreport.ud, pdu + offset, expected); // overflow here, expected is from SMS PDU }

return TRUE; } ~~~
