界: Input Validation and Representation

輸入驗證和表示法問題是由中繼字元、替代編碼和數值表示法引起的。信任輸入會導致安全問題。問題包括:「Buffer Overflows」、「Cross-Site Scripting」攻擊、「SQL Injection」及其他許多問題。

Buffer Overflow: Format String

Abstract
程式使用不正確的邊界 Format String,讓程式可寫入分配記憶體邊界以外的位置。此運作方式可能會導致資料毀損、程式當機,或惡意程式碼的執行。
Explanation
Buffer overflow 可能是軟體安全性弱點最為人知的一種形式。大部分軟體開發人員都知道什麼是 Buffer overflow 弱點,但傳統和新開發的應用程式仍常遭到 Buffer overflow 攻擊。此問題的部份原因是,發生 Buffer overflow 的方式很多,部分原因是人們常常用不恰當的方式來防範 Buffer overflow。

在典型的 Buffer overflow 攻擊中,攻擊者會將資料傳送到程式,而程式會將其儲存在一個較小的堆疊緩衝區內。結果就是呼叫這個堆疊的資訊超出了它的邊界,其中包括函數的回傳指標。該資料設定了回傳指標的值,當函數回傳時,會將控制傳送到攻擊者資料所包含的惡意程式碼。

這類型的堆疊 Buffer overflow 在一些平台和開發社群中仍然很常見,但卻還有多種其他類型的 Buffer overflow,包括堆積 Buffer overflow 和差一錯誤 (off-by-one-error) 等等。有許多優秀的著作提供了關於堆疊 Buffer overflow 如何攻擊的具體資訊,包括 Building Secure Software[1]、Writing Secure Code[2]和 The Shellcoder's Handbook[3]。

在程式碼層級,會發生 Buffer overflow 弱點通常是因為程式設計師的假設被推翻。C 和 C++ 中的很多記憶體處理函數都沒有執行邊界值檢查,並會輕易地超出操作中緩衝區被配置的邊界值。甚至如 strncpy() 的範圍函數,使用不正確時也會引起弱點。大多數 Buffer overflow 弱點的根本原因,都是緩衝區的處理,加上對資料的大小或組成假設錯誤。

在此案例中,錯誤建構的 Format String 會導致程式寫入分配記憶體邊界以外的位置。

範例:以下程式碼溢出 c,因為 double 類型需要為 c 所分配的空間還要大的空間。


void formatString(double d) {
char c;

scanf("%d", &c)
}
