Subject: [PATCH] lib/node.c: Limit recursion in ri-records (CVE-2021-3622)
Windows Registry hive "ri"-records are arbitrarily nested B-tree-like
structures:
+-------------+
| ri |
|-------------|
| nr_offsets |
| offset[0] ------> points to another lf/lh/li/ri block
| offset[1] ------>
| offset[2] ------>
+-------------+
It is possible to construct a hive with a very deeply nested tree of
ri-records, causing the internal _get_children function to recurse to
any depth which can cause programs linked to hivex to crash with a
stack overflow.
Since it is not thought that deeply nested ri-records occur in real
hives, limit recursion depth. If you hit this limit you will see the
following error and the operation will return an error instead of
crashing:
\> ls
hivex: _get_children: returning EINVAL because: ri-record nested to depth >= 32
ls: Invalid argument
Thanks to Jeremy Galindo for finding and reporting this bug.
