- Malicious filenames can make xzgrep to write to arbitrary files or (with a GNU sed extension) lead to arbitrary code execution. - xzgrep from XZ Utils versions up to and including 5.2.5 are affected. 5.3.1alpha and 5.3.2alpha are affected as well. - This bug was inherited from gzip's zgrep. gzip 1.12 includes a fix for zgrep. - CU167 has gzip-1.12 with the fix already merged.

So only the last line or two get escaped. + +One way to fix this would be to read all lines into the pattern +space first. However, the included fix is even simpler: All lines +except the last line get a backslash appended at the end. To ensure +that shell command substitution doesn't eat a possible trailing +newline, a colon is appended to the filename before escaping. +The colon is later used to separate the filename from the grep +output so it is fine to add it here instead of a few lines later. + +The old code also wasn't POSIX compliant as it used \n in the +replacement section of the s-command. Using <newline> is the +POSIX compatible method. + +LC_ALL=C was added to the two critical sed commands. POSIX sed +manual recommends it when using sed to manipulate pathnames +because in other locales invalid multibyte sequences might +cause issues with some sed implementations. In case of GNU sed, +these particular sed scripts wouldn't have such problems but some +other scripts could have, see: + + info '(sed)Locale Considerations' + +This vulnerability was discovered by: +cleemy desu wayo working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative + +Thanks to Jim Meyering and Paul Eggert discussing the different +ways to fix this and for coordinating the patch release schedule +with gzip. +--- + src/scripts/xzgrep.in | 20 ++++++++++++-------- + 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) + +diff --git a/src/scripts/xzgrep.in b/src/scripts/xzgrep.in +index b180936..e5186ba 100644 +--- a/src/scripts/xzgrep.in ++++ b/src/scripts/xzgrep.in +@@ -180,22 +180,26 @@ for i; do + { test $# -eq 1 || test $no_filename -eq 1; }; then + eval "$grep" + else ++ # Append a colon so that the last character will never be a newline ++ # which would otherwise get lost in shell command substitution. ++ i="$i:" ++ ++ # Escape & \ | and newlines only if such characters are present ++ # (speed optimization). + case $i in + (*' + '* | *'&'* | *''* | *'|'*) +- i=$(printf '%s\n' "$i" | +- sed ' +- $!N +- $s/[&|]/\&/g +- $s/\n/\n/g +- ');; ++ i=$(printf '%s\n' "$i" | LC_ALL=C sed 's/[&|]/\&/g; $!s/$/\/');; + esac +- sed_script="s|^|$i:|" ++ ++ # $i already ends with a colon so don't add it here. ++ sed_script="s|^|$i|" + + # Fail if grep or sed fails. + r=$( + exec 4>&1 +- (eval "$grep" 4>&-; echo $? >&4) 3>&- | sed "$sed_script" >&3 4>&- ++ (eval "$grep" 4>&-; echo $? >&4) 3>&- | ++ LC_ALL=C sed "$sed_script" >&3 4>&- + ) || r=2 + exit $r + fi >&3 5>&- +-- +2.35.1 +
