Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Accessing, Modifying or Executing Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's configuration that allows an attacker to either directly access an executable file, for example through shell access; or in a possible worst case allows an attacker to upload a file and then execute it. Web servers, ftp servers, and message oriented middleware systems which have many integration points are particularly vulnerable, because both the programmers and the administrators must be in synch regarding the interfaces and the correct privileges for each interface.
  • Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files, when the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high. The attack can be directed at a client system, such as causing buffer overrun through loading seemingly benign image files, as in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 where specially crafted JPEG files could cause a buffer overrun once loaded into the browser. Another example targets clients reading pdf files. In this case the attacker simply appends javascript to the end of a legitimate url for a pdf (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/danger-danger-danger/) http://path/to/pdf/file.pdf#whatever_name_you_want=javascript:your_code_here The client assumes that they are reading a pdf, but the attacker has modified the resource and loaded executable javascript into the client's browser process. The attack can also target server processes. The attacker edits the resource or configuration file, for example a web.xml file used to configure security permissions for a J2EE app server, adding role name "public" grants all users with the public role the ability to use the administration functionality. The server trusts its configuration file to be correct, but when they are manipulated, the attacker gains full control.
  • Blue Boxing
    This type of attack against older telephone switches and trunks has been around for decades. A tone is sent by an adversary to impersonate a supervisor signal which has the effect of rerouting or usurping command of the line. While the US infrastructure proper may not contain widespread vulnerabilities to this type of attack, many companies are connected globally through call centers and business process outsourcing. These international systems may be operated in countries which have not upgraded Telco infrastructure and so are vulnerable to Blue boxing. Blue boxing is a result of failure on the part of the system to enforce strong authorization for administrative functions. While the infrastructure is different than standard current applications like web applications, there are historical lessons to be learned to upgrade the access control for administrative functions.
  • Restful Privilege Elevation
    Rest uses standard HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permissions methods, but these are not necessarily correlated generally with back end programs. Strict interpretation of HTTP get methods means that these HTTP Get services should not be used to delete information on the server, but there is no access control mechanism to back up this logic. This means that unless the services are properly ACL'd and the application's service implementation are following these guidelines then an HTTP request can easily execute a delete or update on the server side. The attacker identifies a HTTP Get URL such as http://victimsite/updateOrder, which calls out to a program to update orders on a database or other resource. The URL is not idempotent so the request can be submitted multiple times by the attacker, additionally, the attacker may be able to exploit the URL published as a Get method that actually performs updates (instead of merely retrieving data). This may result in malicious or inadvertent altering of data on the server.
  • Target Programs with Elevated Privileges
    This attack targets programs running with elevated privileges. The attacker would try to leverage a bug in the running program and get arbitrary code to execute with elevated privileges. For instance an attacker would look for programs that write to the system directories or registry keys (such as HKLM, which stores a number of critical Windows environment variables). These programs are typically running with elevated privileges and have usually not been designed with security in mind. Such programs are excellent exploit targets because they yield lots of power when they break. The malicious user try to execute its code at the same level as a privileged system call.

V    Potential denial of service using VMware Player

     This release fixes a problem that prevented VMware Player from
     launching. This problem was accompanied by the error message VMware
     Player unrecoverable error: (player) Exception 0xc0000005 (access
     violation) has occurred.

VI   ESX Service Console updates

a.   Service console package Samba, has been updated to address the
     following issues :

     Various bugs were found in NDR parsing, used to decode MS-RPC
     requests in Samba. A remote attacker could have sent carefully
     crafted requests causing a heap overflow, which may have led to the
     ability to execute arbitrary code on the server. (CVE-2007-2446)

     Unescaped user input parameters were being passed as arguments to
     /bin/sh. A remote, authenticated, user could have triggered this
     flaw and executed arbitrary code on the server. Additionally, this
     flaw could be triggered by a remote unauthenticated user if Samba
     was configured to use the non-default username map script option.
     (CVE-2007-2447)

     Thanks to the Samba developers, TippingPoint, and iDefense for
     identifying and reporting these issues.

     Note: These issues only affect the service console network, and are
     not remote vulnerabilities for ESX Server hosts that have been set
     up with the security best practices provided by VMware.
     http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/726

b.   Updated bind package for the service console fixes a flaw with the
     way ISC BIND processed certain DNS query responses.

     ISC BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of
     the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols. Under some circumstances, a
     malicious remote user could launch a Denial-of-Service attack on
     ESX Server hosts that had enabled DNSSEC validation.
     (CVE-2007-0494)

     not remote vulnerabilities for ESX Server hosts that have been set
     up with the security best practices provided by VMware.
     http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/726

c.   This patch provides updated service console package krb5 update.

     The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
     assigned the names CVE-2007-2442, CVE-2007-2443, and CVE-2007-2798
     to these security issues.

     Thanks to Wei Wang of McAfee Avert Labs discovered these
     vulnerabilities.

     Note: The VMware service console does not provide the kadmind
     binary, and is not affected by these issues, but a update has been
     provided for completeness.

d.   Service console update for vixie-cron

     This patch provides an updated service console package vixie-cron.
     Cron is a standard UNIX daemon that runs specified programs at
     scheduled times.

     A denial of service issue was found in the way vixie-cron verified
     crontab file integrity. A local user with the ability to create a
     hardlink to /etc/crontab could potentially prevent vixie-cron from
     executing certain system cron jobs. (CVE-2007-1856)

     Thanks to Raphael Marichez for identifying this issue.

e.   Service console update for shadow-utils

     This patch provides an updated shadow-utils package.  A new
     user's mailbox, when created, could have random permissions for a
     short period. This could enable a local malicious user to
     read or modify the mailbox. (CVE-2006-1174)

f.  Service console update for OpenLDAP

     This patch provides a updated OpenLDAP package. A flaw could
     allow users with selfwrite access to modify the distinguished
     name of any user, instead of being limited to modify only
     their own distinguished name. (CVE-2006-4600)

g.   Service console update for PAM

     This patch provides an updated PAM package A vulnerability was
     found that could allow console users with access to certain device
     files to cause damage to recordable CD drives. Certain file
     permissions have now been modified to disallow access.
     (CVE-2004-0813)

     A flaw was found with console device permissions. It was possible
     for various console devices to retain ownership of the previoius
     console user after logging out, which could result in leakage of
     information to an unauthorized user. (CVE-2007-1716)

h.   Service console update for GCC

     This patch provides security fixes for the service console GNU
     Compiler Collection (GCC) packages that include C, C++, Java,
     Fortran 77, Objective C, and Ada 95 GNU compilers and related
     support libraries.

     A flaw was found in the fastjar utility that could potentially
     allow a malicious user to create a JAR file which, if unpacked
     using fastjar, could write to any file that an authorized user had
     write access to. (CVE-2006-3619)

     Thanks to Jürgen Weigert for identifying this issue.

i.   Service Console update for GDB

     This patch provides a security fix for the service console GNU
     debugger (GDB).  Various vulnerabilities were found in GDB. These
     vulnerabilities may allow a malicious user to deceive a user into
     loading debugging information into GDB, enabling the execution of
     arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. (CVE-2006-4146)"

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200711-23 (VMware Workstation and Player: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in several VMware products. Neel Mehta and Ryan Smith (IBM ISS X-Force) discovered that the DHCP server contains an integer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-0062), an integer underflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-0063) and another error when handling malformed packets (CVE-2007-0061), leading to stack-based buffer overflows or stack corruption. Rafal Wojtczvk (McAfee) discovered two unspecified errors that allow authenticated users with administrative or login privileges on a guest operating system to corrupt memory or cause a Denial of Service (CVE-2007-4496, CVE-2007-4497). Another unspecified vulnerability related to untrusted virtual machine images was discovered (CVE-2007-5617). VMware products also shipped code copies of software with several vulnerabilities: Samba (GLSA-200705-15), BIND (GLSA-200702-06), MIT Kerberos 5 (GLSA-200707-11), Vixie Cron (GLSA-200704-11), shadow (GLSA-200606-02), OpenLDAP (CVE-2006-4600), PAM (CVE-2004-0813, CVE-2007-1716), GCC (CVE-2006-3619) and GDB (CVE-2006-4146). Impact : Remote attackers within a guest system could possibly exploit these vulnerabilities to execute code on the host system with elevated privileges or to cause a Denial of Service. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
