Node.js: use-after-free in TLSWrap Node v14.11.0 (Current) is vulnerable to a use-after-free bug in its TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket, node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as part of a StreamWriteResult structure: // stream_base-inl.h WriteWrap* req_wrap = CreateWriteWrap(req_wrap_obj); err = DoWrite(req_wrap, bufs, count, send_handle); bool async = err == 0; if (!async) { req_wrap->Dispose(); req_wrap = nullptr; } const char* msg = Error(); if (msg != nullptr) { req_wrap_obj->Set(env->context(), env->error_string(), OneByteString(env->isolate(), msg)).Check(); ClearError(); } return StreamWriteResult { async, err, req_wrap, total_bytes }; The problem is that TLSWrap::DoWrite can trigger a free of the WriteWrap object without returning an error when the EncOut() call at the end of the DoWrite method fails. EncOut() calls underlying_stream()->Write() to write TLS encrypted data to the network socket. If this write fails, InvokeQueued() is called and the function returns immediately: // tls_wrap.cc // Write any encrypted/handshake output that may be ready. // Guard against sync call of current_write_->Done(), its unsupported. in_dowrite_ = true; EncOut(); in_dowrite_ = false; return 0; // tls_wrap.cc void TLSWrap::EncOut() { [...] Debug(this, \"Writing %zu buffers to the underlying stream\", count); StreamWriteResult res = underlying_stream()->Write(bufs, count); if (res.err != 0) { InvokeQueued(res.err); return; } [..] InvokeQueued() triggers an immediate free of the req_wrap WriteWrap* object via the following call chain: node::TLSWrap::InvokeQueued -> node::StreamReq::Done -> node::WriteWrap::OnDone -> node::StreamReq::Dispose -> node::BaseObjectPtrImpl<node::AsyncWrap, false>::~BaseObjectPtrImpl() -> node::BaseObject::decrease_refcount() -> node::SimpleWriteWrap<node::AsyncWrap>::~SimpleWriteWrap() Making underlying_stream()->Write fail is as easy as closing the socket at the other side of the connection just before the write to trigger a broken pipe error. Because node::TLSWrap::DoWrite doesn't return an error code, node::StreamBase::Write will return the freed WriteWrap object as part of its StreamWriteResult. For calls by node::StreamBase::WriteV, this will immediately trigger a use-after-free when the SetAllocatedStorage() method is called on the freed object: // stream_base.cc StreamWriteResult res = Write(*bufs, count, nullptr, req_wrap_obj); SetWriteResult(res); if (res.wrap != nullptr && storage_size > 0) { res.wrap->SetAllocatedStorage(std::move(storage)); } The bug can be easily triggered against a simple node HTTPS server application. Under normal circumstances and without an ASAN enabled build, the UAF doesn't trigger a crash on Linux as the freed memory won't get reallocated in time and the write in SetAllocatedStorage corrupts chunk metadata that isn't used for small chunks. I think this is the only reason why the bug wasn't spotted earlier, as the broken pipe error path should be hit pretty often in the real world. However, this issue might still be exploitable with the right heap layout (if the WriteWrap chunk is merged with a larger chunk during the free), different heap implementations and/or some other control flow that allows to allocate something before the reuse.
