Hi, busybox developers,
We found a use-after-free vulnerability in awk applet of busybox v1.36.1. The
affected component is awk.c:3009, in evaluate function. Following is the
reproduction process, and we put the poc file in the attachment.
[1.] Environment
Ubuntu 18.04, 64 bit
BusyBox 1.36.1
Clang 6.0.0

[2.] Compilation
2.1 Modify the Makefile:
HOSTCC=clang -fsanitize=address
HOSTCXX=clang++ -fsanitize=address
CC=clang
CFLAGS=-fsanitize=address
CPPFLAGS=-fsanitize=address
LDFLAGS="-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition"
2.2 Modify the Config.in file, switch the following configs to y：
DEBUG: y
DEBUG_PESSIMIZE: y
FEATURE_CLEAN_UP: y
DEBUG_SANITIZE: y
2.3 Commands for compilation:
export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0
make defconfig
make install

[3.] Reproduction
export ASAN_OPTIONS="abort_on_error=1 symbolize=0"
./busybox_unstripped awk -f $poc ./awk_t1_input
[ASAN report]:
