계: Code Quality

코드 품질이 낮으면 예측할 수 없는 동작이 발생합니다. 사용자 입장에서는 사용 편의성이 떨어지는 것으로 나타나는 경우가 많습니다. 공격자에게는 예상치 못한 방법으로 시스템에 부담을 줄 수 있는 기회가 됩니다.

Memory Leak: Reallocation

Abstract
프로그램이 할당된 메모리 블록의 크기를 조절합니다. 크기 조절이 실패하는 경우 원래의 블록이 누출됩니다.
Explanation
Memory leak에는 다음 두 가지 일반적인 이유가 있으며 이 두 가지가 겹치는 경우도 있습니다.

- 오류 조건 및 기타 예외 상황.

- 프로그램의 어떤 부분이 메모리 해제를 담당하고 있는지에 대한 혼란.

대부분의 메모리 누출은 일반적으로 소프트웨어 신뢰도 문제를 일으키지만, 공격자가 의도적으로 메모리 누출을 일으키는 경우 프로그램을 중단하여 Denial of Service 공격을 실행하거나 메모리 부족 조건으로 인한 다른 예기치 못한 프로그램 동작을 이용할 수 있습니다 [1].

예제 1: 다음 C 함수는 realloc() 호출이 원래의 할당에 대한 크기 조절이 실패하면 할당된 메모리 블록을 누출합니다.


char* getBlocks(int fd) {
int amt;
int request = BLOCK_SIZE;
char* buf = (char*) malloc(BLOCK_SIZE + 1);
if (!buf) {
goto ERR;
}
amt = read(fd, buf, request);
while ((amt % BLOCK_SIZE) != 0) {
if (amt < request) {
goto ERR;
}
request = request + BLOCK_SIZE;
buf = realloc(buf, request);
if (!buf) {
goto ERR;
}
amt = read(fd, buf, request);
}

return buf;

ERR:
if (buf) {
free(buf);
}
return NULL;
}

Abstract
이 프로그램은 할당된 메모리 블록의 크기를 변경합니다. 크기 변경이 실패할 경우 원래 블록에 누수가 발생합니다.
Explanation
메모리 누수에는 두 가지 일반적인 원인이 있으며 이러한 원인은 가끔 겹칩니다.

- 오류 조건 및 기타 예외 상황

- 프로그램의 어떤 부분이 메모리 할당 해제를 담당하고 있는지에 대한 혼란

대부분의 메모리 누수는 일반적인 소프트웨어 안정성 문제로 이어지지만 공격자가 의도적으로 메모리 누수를 유발할 수 있는 경우 공격자는 Denial of Service 공격을 시작하거나(프로그램 충돌을 야기하여) 메모리 부족 조건에서 비롯되는 다른 예기치 않은 프로그램 동작을 이용할 수 있습니다[1].

예제 1: 다음 Micro Focus COBOL 프로그램은 원래 할당의 크기를 변경하는 realloc() 호출이 실패할 경우 할당된 메모리 블록의 누수를 야기합니다.


CALL "malloc" USING
BY VALUE mem-size
RETURNING mem-pointer

ADD 1000 TO mem-size

CALL "realloc" USING
BY VALUE mem-pointer
BY VALUE mem-size
RETURNING mem-pointer
END-CALL

IF mem-pointer <> null
CALL "free" USING
BY VALUE mem-pointer
END-CALL
END-IF
