There are two cases of use-after-free in the new Modules/_asynciomodule.c in the release candidate for Python 3.6, but I'm filing these together because it's the same underlying issue. In both cases in this file where the unsafe `PyList_GET_ITEM` is called, `_asyncio_Future_remove_done_callback` and `future_schedule_callbacks`, there is a function called on the fetched item that allows the user to mutate the callbacks list (`PyObject_RichCompareBool` and `_PyObject_CallMethodId`), which then leads to OOB access on subsequent iterations. For example, this script can trigger the vulnerability for `remove_done_callback`: ``` import asyncio fut = asyncio.Future() fut.add_done_callback(str) for _ in range(63): fut.add_done_callback(id) class evil: def __eq__(self, other): fut.remove_done_callback(id) return False fut.remove_done_callback(evil()) ``` On an ASAN build we can see that there is indeed a UAF occurring: ``` ================================================================= ==19239==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on address 0x60300000e7f0 at pc 0x000106fe6704 bp 0x7fff5cda09c0 sp 0x7fff5cda09b8 READ of size 8 at 0x60300000e7f0 thread T0 #0 0x106fe6703 in _asyncio_Future_remove_done_callback _asynciomodule.c:526 #1 0x102f5af35 in _PyCFunction_FastCallDict methodobject.c:192 #2 0x1030e9044 in call_function ceval.c:4788 #3 0x1030da2f0 in _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault ceval.c:3275 #4 0x1030eb09b in _PyEval_EvalCodeWithName ceval.c:718 #5 0x1030ced53 in PyEval_EvalCode ceval.c:4140 #6 0x10317da47 in PyRun_FileExFlags pythonrun.c:980 #7 0x10317c110 in PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags pythonrun.c:396 #8 0x1031c76b8 in Py_Main main.c:320 #9 0x102e5ed40 in main python.c:69 #10 0x7fffc9bd8254 in start (libdyld.dylib+0x5254) 0x60300000e7f0 is located 0 bytes to the right of 32-byte region [0x60300000e7d0,0x60300000e7f0) allocated by thread T0 here: #0 0x1039d5f87 in wrap_realloc (libclang_rt.asan_osx_dynamic.dylib+0x4af87) #1 0x102efb089 in list_ass_slice listobject.c:63 #2 0x106fe6605 in _asyncio_Future_remove_done_callback _asynciomodule.c:541 #3 0x102f5af35 in _PyCFunction_FastCallDict methodobject.c:192 #4 0x1030e9044 in call_function ceval.c:4788 #5 0x1030da2f0 in _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault ceval.c:3275 #6 0x1030ed94a in _PyFunction_FastCallDict ceval.c:718 #7 0x102e81308 in _PyObject_FastCallDict abstract.c:2295 #8 0x102e816b1 in _PyObject_Call_Prepend abstract.c:2358 #9 0x102e81286 in _PyObject_FastCallDict abstract.c:2316 #10 0x102fa125a in slot_tp_richcompare typeobject.c:6287 #11 0x102f61f66 in PyObject_RichCompare object.c:671 #12 0x102f62421 in PyObject_RichCompareBool object.c:741 #13 0x106fe6544 in _asyncio_Future_remove_done_callback _asynciomodule.c:528 #14 0x102f5af35 in _PyCFunction_FastCallDict methodobject.c:192 #15 0x1030e9044 in call_function ceval.c:4788 #16 0x1030da2f0 in _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault ceval.c:3275 #17 0x1030eb09b in _PyEval_EvalCodeWithName ceval.c:718 #18 0x1030ced53 in PyEval_EvalCode ceval.c:4140 #19 0x10317da47 in PyRun_FileExFlags pythonrun.c:980 #20 0x10317c110 in PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags pythonrun.c:396 #21 0x1031c76b8 in Py_Main main.c:320 #22 0x102e5ed40 in main python.c:69 #23 0x7fffc9bd8254 in start (libdyld.dylib+0x5254) SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow _asynciomodule.c:526 in _asyncio_Future_remove_done_callback Shadow bytes around the buggy address: 0x1c0600001ca0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x1c0600001cb0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x1c0600001cc0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x1c0600001cd0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x1c0600001ce0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa =>0x1c0600001cf0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 00 00 00 00[fa]fa 0x1c0600001d00: 00 00 00 fa fa fa 00 00 00 fa fa fa 00 00 00 02 0x1c0600001d10: fa fa fd fd fd fd fa fa fd fd fd fd fa fa fd fd 0x1c0600001d20: fd fd fa fa fd fd fd fd fa fa fd fd fd fd fa fa 0x1c0600001d30: fd fd fd fd fa fa fd fd fd fd fa fa fd fd fd fd 0x1c0600001d40: fa fa fd fd fd fd fa fa 00 00 00 00 fa fa 00 00 Shadow byte legend (one shadow byte represents 8 application bytes): Addressable: 00 Partially addressable: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 Heap left redzone: fa Heap right redzone: fb Freed heap region: fd Stack left redzone: f1 Stack mid redzone: f2 Stack right redzone: f3 Stack partial redzone: f4 Stack after return: f5 Stack use after scope: f8 Global redzone: f9 Global init order: f6 Poisoned by user: f7 Container overflow: fc Array cookie: ac Intra object redzone: bb ASan internal: fe Left alloca redzone: ca Right alloca redzone: cb ==19239==ABORTING [1] 19239 abort ASAN_OPTIONS=halt_on_error=0 ./python.exe test.py ```

Oh, this is a release blocker. I'll take a look later today.
msg283145 - (view) Author: Yury Selivanov (yselivanov) * (Python committer) Date: 2016-12-13 23:31
I think the bug is only in _asyncio_Future_remove_done_callback, since future_schedule_callbacks makes a slice first, which cannot be mutated. I'm attaching a patch. Inada, would you be able to take a look?
msg283146 - (view) Author: Ned Williamson (Ned Williamson) Date: 2016-12-13 23:36
yselivanov, ah I think you're right. I misread that function after I noticed the issue in the first one.

> Oh, this is a release blocker. I'll take a look later today. The bug requires to have an "evil" class which is unlikely in an application. I don't think that it's a release blocker.

I see three options: * avoid PyObject_RichCompareBool() which can run arbitrary Python code: this can be complicated since callbacks can be proxies, functools.partial, lambda, and other funny callable objects * reimplement the same algorithm than the Python implementation: create a new list. * do nothing: if you do weird things, it's your fault :-) My favorite option is to work on a new list.

Inada-san, thanks for the review. You're right, we need to fix another edge-case. I'll upload a new patch tomorrow. Victor, fourth option we should go with is to commit the attached patch (with Inada-san review comment fixed). I guess it's up to Ned if he want to cherry-pick the patch to Python 3.6. I agree that the bug is very unlikely to appear in any real-world code.

_asyncio_Future_remove_done_callback() is still wrong with Issue28963.patch: what if an evil __eq__() methods inserts or remove directly items of the future callbacks list? By design, it's not safe to iterate on a list if the body of the list calls arbitrary Python code. (I don't know how exactly, but everything in Python is possible, see the gc module to retrieve private fields of a C objecct.)

This doesn't sound like a showstopper issue so I think it can wait for 3.6.1.

3.6.0 had been released? Yury, would you create pull request?
msg288217 - (view) Author: Yury Selivanov (yselivanov) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-02-20 16:31
I will in a couple of days.
