ZSH crashed when reading bytes from a large binary



Dear maintainers:

 

When ZSH reads bytes from binary, ZSH will adjust the allocated memory according to binary size. But if the binary size is large enough, ZSH will fail to reallocate memory.

 

The problem is that, when ZSH failed to reallocate memory, ZSH didn’t check the return value of `realloc` function and handle the error. This will make ZSH crash.

 

On line 6923 of `zsh/Src/builtin.c`, the correct code should like the following:

 

``` c

If (buf = realloc(buf, bsiz *= 2)) {

   // same as previous code

} else {

free(buf);

return EXIT_FAILURE;

}

```

 

Environments:

  • Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS x86_64
  • Ubuntu clang version 10.0.1-++20211003084855+ef32c611aa21-1~exp1~20211003085243.2
  • ZSH source code commit: eb738c793a6f9f293fc655c6aa87effc3dd9e44f (latest)

 

Steps to Reproduce:

``` shell

# clone and build zsh shell from source

git clone git@xxxxxxxxxx:zsh-users/zsh.git

cd zsh

./Util/preconfig

# compile ZSH with Address Sanitizer

CFLAGS=" -g -O0 " LDFLAGS=" -fsanitize=address " ../zsh/configure

make -j$(nproc)

 

# generate large binary.

dd if=/dev/zero of=large.bin iflag=fullblock bs=1M count=600

 

# trigger segment fault.

./Src/zsh -c "read byte < ./large.bin"                    #  Segment fault

```

 

ASAN log:

 

``` shell
