It is designed to work on top of existing protocols and usedworldwide to provide secure communication in insecure environments.OTR is regarded as highly secure and according to documents revealed byEdward Snowden one of the protocols that the NSA is not able to decryptvia cryptanalysis.The most commonly used implementation of OTR is "libotr" which is a pureC code implementation of the OTR protocol.Analysis--------During a manual code review X41 D-Sec GmbH discovered a remotelyexploitable vulnerability in libotr.By sending large messages, an integer overflow can be triggered whichsubsequently leads to a heap overflow on 64 bit architectures.When a message of type OTRL_MSGSTATE_DATA is received during anestablished OTR conversation, this message is passed to functionotrl_proto_accept_data in src/message.c line 1347: case OTRL_MSGSTATE_ENCRYPTED: extrakey = gcry_malloc_secure(OTRL_EXTRAKEY_BYTES); err = otrl_proto_accept_data(&plaintext, &tlvs, context, message, &flags, extrakey);After base64 decoding the message and reading various values from it,the length of a payload is read into a variable of type "unsigned int"in file proto.c line 784: read_int(datalen);It is checked that the message buffer will contain at least a "datalen"number of bytes using read_int in proto.c line 785: require_len(datalen);The macros "read_int" and "required_len" are defined in src/serial.h: #define require_len(l) do { \ if (lenp < (l)) goto invval; \ } while(0) #define read_int(x) do { \ require_len(4); \ (x) = (((unsigned int)bufp[0]) << 24) | (bufp[1] << 16) | (bufp[2] <<8) | bufp[3]; \ bufp += 4; lenp -= 4; \ } while(0)4 bytes are read from the message buffer and interpreted as unsigned intvalue.Subsequently a buffer of size datalen+1 is allocated using mallocin proto.c line 786: data = malloc(datalen+1); if (!data) { err = gcry_error(GPG_ERR_ENOMEM); goto err; }Now data from the message is copied into this buffer using memmove inline 791: memmove(data, bufp, datalen);The vulnerability is triggered if a value of 0xFFFFFFFF (MAX_UINT) isread from the message buffer. As datalen is of size 32-bit (unsignedint) the operation "datalen+1" will wrap around before being passed tomalloc.This will effectively result in a zero allocation ( malloc(0) ) which isvalid in common implementations of malloc on the x86_64 architecture.As no addition is done in the value passed to the call to memmove, 4gigabytes of data are copied out of bounds to the heap location pointedto by data.Proof of Concept----------------In order to successfully trigger the vulnerability, an attacker must beable to send a data message of more than 5.5 gigabytes to a victim inorder to pass the check "require_len(datalen)".Due to the support of fragmented OTR messages assembled by libotr thisis possible in practice. By sending 275 messages of size 20MB each, X41was able to make libotr process such a data message successfully on asystem with 8GB of ram and 15GB of swap space.As data types for lenp and other lengths of the message are 64 bit largesize_t types on x86_64 architectures huge messages of multiple gigabytesare possible.Sending such a message to a pidgin client took only a few minutes on afast network connection without visible signs of any attack to a user.A proof of concept triggering a heap overwrite and crash in thepidgin-otr plugin for the popular pidgin messenger on x86_64 Linuxarchitectures is available[1].The crash occurs due to the overwrite hitting unmapped memory. Usingtechniques such as heap grooming, X41 was able to inflate the heap tomore than 4GB and overwrite function pointers and arguments on the heapin order to take over control flow. A working exploit will not bepublished at this time.Interaction by users beyond having enabled OTR is not necessary as OTRsessions are automatically established with anyone by default in Pidginand other common software using libotr. This also applies tounauthorized contacts in most default configurations.Workarounds-----------As a temporary workaround on Linux and BSD systems, the amount of memoryavailable to the process running libotr may be limited to less than 4GBvia ulimit.About X41 D-Sec GmbH--------------------X41 D-Sec is a provider of application security services.

Fire up this script and let it connect with the attacker account credentials### 4. Send a message from victim to attacker### 5. Wait until message sending is complete, pidgin should crash### !!! Steps 2-5 (and especially user interaction) are only necessary for this PoC### !!! If we would implement full OTR in this script we could send the bad message directly### !!!
