Subject: [PATCH 1/2] CVE-2020-27840 ldb_dn: avoid head corruption in
 ldb_dn_explode

A DN string with lots of trailing space can cause ldb_dn_explode() to
put a zero byte in the wrong place in the heap.

When a DN string has a value represented with trailing spaces,
like this

"CN=foo   ,DC=bar"

the whitespace is supposed to be ignored. We keep track of this in the
`t` pointer, which is NULL when we are not walking through trailing
spaces, and points to the first space when we are. We are walking with
the `p` pointer, writing the value to `d`, and keeping the length in
`l`.

"CN=foo   ,DC= "       ==>       "foo   "
            ^  ^                             ^
            t  p                             d
                                       --l---

The value is finished when we encounter a comma or the end of the
string. If `t` is not NULL at that point, we assume there are trailing
spaces and wind `d and `l` back by the correct amount. Then we switch
to expecting an attribute name (e.g. "CN"), until we get to an "=",
which puts us back into looking for a value.

Unfortunately, we forget to immediately tell `t` that we'd finished
the last value, we can end up like this:

"CN=foo   ,DC= "       ==>        ""
            ^      ^                    ^
            t      p                    d
                                        l=0

where `p` is pointing to a new value that contains only spaces, while
`t` is still referring to the old value. `p` notices the value ends,
and we subtract `p - t` from `d`:

"CN=foo   ,DC= "       ==>  ?     ""
            ^       ^            ^
            t       p            d
                                      l ~= SIZE_MAX - 8

At that point `d` wants to terminate its string with a '\0', but
instead it terminates someone else's byte. This does not crash if the
number of trailing spaces is small, as `d` will point into a previous
value (a copy of "foo" in this example). Corrupting that value will
ultimately not matter, as we will soon try to allocate a buffer `l`
long, which will be greater than the available memory and the whole
operation will fail properly.

However, with more spaces, `d` will point into memory before the
beginning of the allocated buffer, with the exact offset depending on
the length of the earlier attributes and the number of spaces.

What about a longer DN with more attributes? For example,
"CN=foo     ,DC= ,DC=example,DC=com" -- since `d` has moved out of
bounds, won't we continue to use it and write more DN values into
mystery memory? Fortunately not, because the aforementioned allocation
of `l` bytes must happen first, and `l` is now huge. The allocation
happens in a talloc_memdup(), which is by default restricted to
allocating 256MB.

So this allows a person who controls a string parsed by ldb_dn_explode
to corrupt heap memory by placing a single zero byte at a chosen
offset before the allocated buffer.

An LDAP bind request can send a string DN as a username. This DN is
necessarily parsed before the password is checked, so an attacker does
not need proper credentials. The attacker can easily cause a denial of
service and we cannot rule out more subtle attacks.

The immediate solution is to reset `t` to NULL when a comma is
encountered, indicating that we are no longer looking at trailing
whitespace.

Found with the help of Honggfuzz.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] CVE-2020-27840: pytests: move Dn.validate test to ldb

We had the test in the Samba Python segfault suite because
a) the signal catching infrastructure was there, and
b) the ldb tests lack Samba's knownfail mechanism, which allowed us to
   assert the failure.
