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.

NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2008-0055.NASL description Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and a bug in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel are now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. These updated kernel packages fix the following security issues : A flaw was found in the virtual filesystem (VFS). A local unprivileged user could truncate directories to which they had write permission; this could render the contents of the directory inaccessible. (CVE-2008-0001, Important) A flaw was found in the implementation of ptrace. A local unprivileged user could trigger this flaw and possibly cause a denial of service (system hang). (CVE-2007-5500, Important) A flaw was found in the way the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel handled page faults when a CPU used the NUMA method for accessing memory on Itanium architectures. A local unprivileged user could trigger this flaw and cause a denial of service (system panic). (CVE-2007-4130, Important) A possible NULL pointer dereference was found in the chrp_show_cpuinfo function when using the PowerPC architecture. This may have allowed a local unprivileged user to cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2007-6694, Moderate) A flaw was found in the way core dump files were created. If a local user can get a root-owned process to dump a core file into a directory, which the user has write access to, they could gain read access to that core file. This could potentially grant unauthorized access to sensitive information. (CVE-2007-6206, Moderate) Two buffer overflow flaws were found in the Linux kernel ISDN subsystem. A local unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-6063, CVE-2007-6151, Moderate) As well, these updated packages fix the following bug : * when moving volumes that contain multiple segments, and a mirror segment is not the first in the mapping table, running the last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 30154 published 2008-02-05 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2008-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/30154 title CentOS 4 : kernel (CESA-2008:0055) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0055 and # CentOS Errata and Security Advisory 2008:0055 respectively. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(30154); script_version("1.19"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/10/25 13:36:04"); script_cve_id("CVE-2007-4130", "CVE-2007-5500", "CVE-2007-6063", "CVE-2007-6151", "CVE-2007-6206", "CVE-2007-6694", "CVE-2008-0001"); script_bugtraq_id(26477, 26605, 26701, 27280, 27497); script_xref(name:"RHSA", value:"2008:0055"); script_name(english:"CentOS 4 : kernel (CESA-2008:0055)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value:"The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and a bug in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel are now available.

NASL family Oracle Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ORACLELINUX_ELSA-2008-0055.NASL description From Red Hat Security Advisory 2008:0055 : Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and a bug in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel are now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. These updated kernel packages fix the following security issues : A flaw was found in the virtual filesystem (VFS). A local unprivileged user could truncate directories to which they had write permission; this could render the contents of the directory inaccessible. (CVE-2008-0001, Important) A flaw was found in the implementation of ptrace. A local unprivileged user could trigger this flaw and possibly cause a denial of service (system hang). (CVE-2007-5500, Important) A flaw was found in the way the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel handled page faults when a CPU used the NUMA method for accessing memory on Itanium architectures. A local unprivileged user could trigger this flaw and cause a denial of service (system panic). (CVE-2007-4130, Important) A possible NULL pointer dereference was found in the chrp_show_cpuinfo function when using the PowerPC architecture. This may have allowed a local unprivileged user to cause a denial of service (crash). (CVE-2007-6694, Moderate) A flaw was found in the way core dump files were created. If a local user can get a root-owned process to dump a core file into a directory, which the user has write access to, they could gain read access to that core file. This could potentially grant unauthorized access to sensitive information. (CVE-2007-6206, Moderate) Two buffer overflow flaws were found in the Linux kernel ISDN subsystem. A local unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-6063, CVE-2007-6151, Moderate) As well, these updated packages fix the following bug : * when moving volumes that contain multiple segments, and a mirror segment is not the first in the mapping table, running the last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 67641 published 2013-07-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/67641 title Oracle Linux 4 : kernel (ELSA-2008-0055) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0055 and # Oracle Linux Security Advisory ELSA-2008-0055 respectively. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(67641); script_version("1.14"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/10/25 13:36:07"); script_cve_id("CVE-2007-4130", "CVE-2007-5500", "CVE-2007-6063", "CVE-2007-6151", "CVE-2007-6206", "CVE-2007-6694", "CVE-2008-0001"); script_bugtraq_id(26477, 26605, 26701, 27280, 27497); script_xref(name:"RHSA", value:"2008:0055"); script_name(english:"Oracle Linux 4 : kernel (ELSA-2008-0055)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value:"The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "From Red Hat Security Advisory 2008:0055 : Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues and a bug in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel are now available.
