panic on parsing crafted phonenumber inputs

High
rubdos published GHSA-mjw4-jj88-v687 Jul 9, 2024

Package

cargo phonenumber (Rust)

Affected versions

>= 0.3.4, <0.3.6

Patched versions

>=0.3.6

Description

Impact

The phonenumber parsing code may panic due to a reachable assert! guard on the phonenumber string.

In a typical deployment of rust-phonenumber, this may get triggered by feeding a maliciously crafted phonenumber, e.g. over the network, specifically strings of the form +dwPAA;phone-context=AA, where the "number" part potentially parses as a number larger than 2^56.

Since f69abee/0.3.4/#52.

0.2.x series is not affected.

Patches

Upgrade to 0.3.6 or higher.

Workarounds

n/a

References

Whereas #69 did not provide an example code path, property testing found a few: +dwPAA;phone-context=AA.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
