Use-After-Free in FileWriter Component of Mojo Bindings for Filesystem API

There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the implementation of the FileWriter component of the mojo bindings for the filesystem API. The browser-process side of this API is defined in a URL and the method of interest is the Write method which takes a parameter of type blink.mojom.Blob. The implementation of this method binds a callback object to base::Unretained(this). The implementation of GetBlobDataFromBlobPtr calls the GetInternalUUID mojo interface method. If the renderer instead of providing a handle to a browser-process-hosted Blob object instead provides a handle to a renderer-hosted Blob implementation, then during the call to GetInternalUUID, the renderer-hosted Blob object will be freed, and the callback will be invoked with a dangling pointer.

Mitigation:

The application should ensure that the callback is not invoked with a dangling pointer.

Exploit-DB raw data:

There's a use-after-free in the implementation of the FileWriter component of the mojo bindings for the filesystem API.

The browser-process side of this API is defined in https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/blink/public/mojom/filesystem/file_writer.mojom?type=cs&sq=package:chromium&g=0

The method we are interested in is the Write method - this takes a parameter of type blink.mojom.Blob. The implementation of this method is as follows:

void FileWriterImpl::Write(uint64_t position,
                           blink::mojom::BlobPtr blob,
                           WriteCallback callback) {
  blob_context_->GetBlobDataFromBlobPtr(
      std::move(blob),
      base::BindOnce(&FileWriterImpl::DoWrite, base::Unretained(this),
                     std::move(callback), position));
}

Note that the last argument to GetBlobDataFromBlobPtr is a callback object bound to base::Unretained(this).

And the implementation of GetBlobDataFromBlobPtr:

void BlobStorageContext::GetBlobDataFromBlobPtr(
    blink::mojom::BlobPtr blob,
    base::OnceCallback<void(std::unique_ptr<BlobDataHandle>)> callback) {
  DCHECK(blob);
  blink::mojom::Blob* raw_blob = blob.get();
  raw_blob->GetInternalUUID(mojo::WrapCallbackWithDefaultInvokeIfNotRun(
      base::BindOnce(
          [](blink::mojom::BlobPtr, base::WeakPtr<BlobStorageContext> context,
             base::OnceCallback<void(std::unique_ptr<BlobDataHandle>)> callback,
             const std::string& uuid) {
            if (!context || uuid.empty()) {
              std::move(callback).Run(nullptr);
              return;
            }
            std::move(callback).Run(context->GetBlobDataFromUUID(uuid));
          },
          std::move(blob), AsWeakPtr(), std::move(callback)),
      ""));
}

However, the call to GetInternalUUID is a mojo interface method; and if the renderer instead of providing a handle to a browser-process-hosted Blob object instead provides a handle to a renderer-hosted Blob implementation, then during this call into the renderer we can destroy the renderer handle to the FileWriter, triggering the immediate destruction of the FileWriterImpl. When the callback is then subsequently called after GetInternalUUID returns, the base::Unretained reference to the stale object will be used.


To reproduce you need a local build of chrome; run the attached script 

$ python ./copy_mojo_js_bindings.py /path/to/chrome/.../out/Asan/gen
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer&
$ out/Asan/chrome --enable-blink-features=MojoJS --user-data-dir=/tmp/nonexist 'http://localhost:8000/file_writer.html' 

Note that this is *not* a renderer bug; it's a browser process bug that's reachable from the renderer. The attached poc is using the MojoJS bindings to trigger the issue, but a compromised renderer could perform the same actions without any special settings.
