Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

    "Multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel have been discovered and
    fixed in this update. The following have been fixed in the 2.4 
    kernels :
    
    Colin Percival discovered a vulnerability in Intel's Hyper-Threading
    technology could allow a local user to use a malicious thread to
    create covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and
    obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys via a timing
    attack on memory cache misses. This has been corrected by disabling HT
    support in all kernels (CVE-2005-0109).
    
    When forwarding fragmented packets, a hardware assisted checksum could
    only be used once which could lead to a Denial of Service attack or
    crash by remote users (CVE-2005-0209).
    
    A flaw in the Linux PPP driver was found where on systems allowing
    remote users to connect to a server via PPP, a remote client could
    cause a crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (CVE-2005-0384).
    
    An information leak in the ext2 filesystem code was found where when a
    new directory is created, the ext2 block written to disk is not
    initialized (CVE-2005-0400).
    
    A signedness error in the copy_from_read_buf function in n_tty.c
    allows local users to read kernel memory via a negative argument
    (CVE-2005-0530).
    
    George Guninski discovered a buffer overflow in the ATM driver where
    the atm_get_addr() function does not validate its arguments
    sufficiently which could allow a local attacker to overwrite large
    portions of kernel memory by supplying a negative length argument.
    This could potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code
    (CVE-2005-0531).
    
    A flaw when freeing a pointer in load_elf_library was found that could
    be abused by a local user to potentially crash the machine causing a
    Denial of Service (CVE-2005-0749).
    
    A problem with the Bluetooth kernel stack in kernels 2.4.6 through
    2.4.30-rc1 and 2.6 through 2.6.11.5 could be used by a local attacker
    to gain root access or crash the machine (CVE-2005-0750).
    
    A race condition in the Radeon DRI driver allows a local user with DRI
    privileges to execute arbitrary code as root (CVE-2005-0767).
    
    Paul Starzetz found an integer overflow in the ELF binary format
    loader's code dump function in kernels prior to and including
    2.4.31-pre1 and 2.6.12-rc4. By creating and executing a specially
    crafted ELF executable, a local attacker could exploit this to execute
    arbitrary code with root and kernel privileges (CVE-2005-1263)."

No changes have been made to the packages associated with this advisory. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. This is the first regular kernel update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. A flaw affecting the auditing code was discovered. On Itanium architectures a local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash). This issue is rated as having important security impact (CVE-2005-0136). A flaw was discovered in the servicing of a raw device ioctl. A local user who has access to raw devices could use this flaw to write to kernel memory and cause a denial of service or potentially gain privileges. This issue is rated as having moderate security impact (CVE-2005-1264). A flaw in fragment forwarding was discovered that affected the netfilter subsystem for certain network interface cards.

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. [Updated 9 August 2005] The advisory text has been updated to show that this update fixed the security issue named CVE-2005-0210 but not CVE-2005-0209. The issue CVE-2005-0209 was actually fixed by RHSA-2005:420. No changes have been made to the packages associated with this advisory. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. A flaw in the fib_seq_start function was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) via /proc/net/route. (CVE-2005-1041) A flaw in the tmpfs file system was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0977) An integer overflow flaw was found when writing to a sysfs file. A local user could use this flaw to overwrite kernel memory, causing a denial of service (system crash) or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2005-0867) Keith Owens reported a flaw in the Itanium unw_unwind_to_user function. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) on Itanium architectures. (CVE-2005-0135) A flaw in the NFS client O_DIRECT error case handling was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0207) A small memory leak when defragmenting local packets was discovered that affected the Linux 2.6 kernel netfilter subsystem. A local user could send a large number of carefully crafted fragments leading to memory exhaustion (CVE-2005-0210) A flaw was discovered in the Linux PPP driver. On systems allowing remote users to connect to a server using ppp, a remote client could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0384) A flaw was discovered in the ext2 file system code. When a new directory is created, the ext2 block written to disk is not initialized, which could lead to an information leak if a disk image is made available to unprivileged users. (CVE-2005-0400) A flaw in fragment queuing was discovered that affected the Linux kernel netfilter subsystem. On systems configured to filter or process network packets (e.g. firewalling), a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted set of fragmented packets to a machine and cause a denial of service (system crash). In order to sucessfully exploit this flaw, the attacker would need to know or guess some aspects of the firewall ruleset on the target system. (CVE-2005-0449) A number of flaws were found in the Linux 2.6 kernel. A local user could use these flaws to read kernel memory or cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2005-0529, CVE-2005-0530, CVE-2005-0531) An integer overflow in sys_epoll_wait in eventpoll.c was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to overwrite low kernel memory. This memory is usually unused, not usually resulting in a security consequence. (CVE-2005-0736) A flaw when freeing a pointer in load_elf_library was discovered. A local user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2005-0749) A flaw was discovered in the bluetooth driver system. On systems where the bluetooth modules are loaded, a local user could use this flaw to gain elevated (root) privileges. (CVE-2005-0750) A race condition was discovered that affected the Radeon DRI driver. A local user who has DRI privileges on a Radeon graphics card may be able to use this flaw to gain root privileges. (CVE-2005-0767) Multiple range checking flaws were discovered in the iso9660 file system handler. An attacker could create a malicious file system image which would cause a denial or service or potentially execute arbitrary code if mounted. (CVE-2005-0815) A flaw was discovered when setting line discipline on a serial tty. A local user may be able to use this flaw to inject mouse movements or keystrokes when another user is logged in. (CVE-2005-0839) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum.

    descriptionA remote Denial of Service vulnerability was discovered in the Netfilter IP packet handler. This allowed a remote attacker to crash the machine by sending specially crafted IP packet fragments. (CAN-2005-0209) The Netfilter code also contained a memory leak. Certain locally generated packet fragments are reassembled twice, which caused a double allocation of a data structure. This could be locally exploited to crash the machine due to kernel memory exhaustion. (CAN-2005-0210) Ben Martel and Stephen Blackheath found a remote Denial of Service vulnerability in the PPP driver. This allowed a malicious pppd client to crash the server machine. (CAN-2005-0384) Georgi Guninski discovered a buffer overflow in the ATM driver. The atm_get_addr() function does not validate its arguments sufficiently, which could allow a local attacker to overwrite large portions of kernel memory by supplying a negative length argument. This could eventually lead to arbitrary code execution. (CAN-2005-0531) Georgi Guninski also discovered three other integer comparison problems in the TTY layer, in the /proc interface and the ReiserFS driver. However, the previous Ubuntu security update (kernel version 2.6.8.1-16.11) already contained a patch which checks the arguments to these functions at a higher level and thus prevents these flaws from being exploited. (CAN-2005-0529, CAN-2005-0530, CAN-2005-0532) Georgi Guninski discovered an integer overflow in the sys_epoll_wait() function which allowed local users to overwrite the first few kB of physical memory. However, very few applications actually use this space (dosemu is a notable exception), but potentially this could lead to privilege escalation. (CAN-2005-0736) Eric Anholt discovered a race condition in the Radeon DRI driver. In some cases this allowed a local user with DRI privileges on a Radeon card to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. Finally this update fixes a regression in the NFS server driver which was introduced in the previous security update (kernel version 2.6.8.1-16.11). We apologize for the inconvenience. (https://bugzilla.ubuntulinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6749) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

On systems allowing remote users to connect to a server using ppp, a remote client could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0384) A flaw was discovered in the ext2 file system code. When a new directory is created, the ext2 block written to disk is not initialized, which could lead to an information leak if a disk image is made available to unprivileged users. (CVE-2005-0400) A flaw in fragment queuing was discovered that affected the Linux kernel netfilter subsystem. On systems configured to filter or process network packets (e.g. firewalling), a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted set of fragmented packets to a machine and cause a denial of service (system crash). In order to sucessfully exploit this flaw, the attacker would need to know or guess some aspects of the firewall ruleset on the target system. (CVE-2005-0449) A number of flaws were found in the Linux 2.6 kernel. A local user could use these flaws to read kernel memory or cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2005-0529, CVE-2005-0530, CVE-2005-0531) An integer overflow in sys_epoll_wait in eventpoll.c was discovered. A local user could use this flaw to overwrite low kernel memory. This memory is usually unused, not usually resulting in a security consequence. (CVE-2005-0736) A flaw when freeing a pointer in load_elf_library was discovered. A local user could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2005-0749) A flaw was discovered in the bluetooth driver system. On systems where the bluetooth modules are loaded, a local user could use this flaw to gain elevated (root) privileges. (CVE-2005-0750) A race condition was discovered that affected the Radeon DRI driver. A local user who has DRI privileges on a Radeon graphics card may be able to use this flaw to gain root privileges. (CVE-2005-0767) Multiple range checking flaws were discovered in the iso9660 file system handler. An attacker could create a malicious file system image which would cause a denial or service or potentially execute arbitrary code if mounted. (CVE-2005-0815) A flaw was discovered when setting line discipline on a serial tty. A local user may be able to use this flaw to inject mouse movements or keystrokes when another user is logged in. (CVE-2005-0839) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum.

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages are now available as part of ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4. This is the first regular update. [Updated 9 August 2005] The advisory text has been updated to show that this update also contained fixes for the security issues named CVE-2005-0209 and CVE-2005-0937. No changes have been made to the packages associated with this advisory. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. This is the first regular kernel update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. A flaw affecting the auditing code was discovered. On Itanium architectures a local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash). This issue is rated as having important security impact (CVE-2005-0136). A flaw was discovered in the servicing of a raw device ioctl. A local user who has access to raw devices could use this flaw to write to kernel memory and cause a denial of service or potentially gain privileges. This issue is rated as having moderate security impact (CVE-2005-1264). A flaw in fragment forwarding was discovered that affected the netfilter subsystem for certain network interface cards. A remote attacker could send a set of bad fragments and cause a denial of service (system crash). Acenic and SunGEM network interfaces were the only adapters affected, which are in widespread use. (CVE-2005-0209) A flaw in the futex functions was discovered affecting the Linux 2.6 kernel. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2005-0937) New features introduced by this update include: - Fixed TCP BIC congestion handling. - Diskdump support for more controllers (megaraid, SATA) - Device mapper multipath support - AMD64 dual core support. - Intel ICH7 hardware support. There were many bug fixes in various parts of the kernel. The ongoing effort to resolve these problems has resulted in a marked improvement in the reliability and scalability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. The following device drivers have been upgraded to new versions: ata_piix -------- 1.03 bonding --------- 2.6.1 e1000 ----------- 5.6.10.1-k2-NAPI e100 ------------ 3.3.6-k2-NAPI ibmveth --------- 1.03 libata ---------- 1.02 to 1.10 lpfc ------------ 0:8.0.16 to 0:8.0.16.6_x2 megaraid_mbox --- 2.20.4.0 to 2.20.4.5 megaraid_mm ----- 2.20.2.0-rh1 to 2.20.2.5 sata_nv --------- 0.03 to 0.6 sata_promise ---- 1.00 to 1.01 sata_sil -------- 0.8 sata_sis -------- 0.5 sata_svw -------- 1.05 sata_sx4 -------- 0.7 sata_via -------- 1.0 sata_vsc -------- 1.0 tg3 ------------- 3.22-rh ipw2100 --------- 1.0.3 ipw2200 --------- 1.0.0 All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum.
