Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Relative Path Traversal
    An attacker exploits a weakness in input validation on the target by supplying a specially constructed path utilizing dot and slash characters for the purpose of obtaining access to arbitrary files or resources. An attacker modifies a known path on the target in order to reach material that is not available through intended channels. These attacks normally involve adding additional path separators (/ or \) and/or dots (.), or encodings thereof, in various combinations in order to reach parent directories or entirely separate trees of the target's directory structure.
  • Directory Traversal
    An attacker with access to file system resources, either directly or via application logic, will use various file path specification or navigation mechanisms such as ".." in path strings and absolute paths to extend their range of access to inappropriate areas of the file system. The attacker attempts to either explore the file system for recon purposes or access directories and files that are intended to be restricted from their access. Exploring the file system can be achieved through constructing paths presented to directory listing programs, such as "ls" and 'dir', or through specially crafted programs that attempt to explore the file system. The attacker engaging in this type of activity is searching for information that can be used later in a more exploitive attack. Access to restricted directories or files can be achieved through modification of path references utilized by system applications.
  • File System Function Injection, Content Based
    An attack of this type exploits the host's trust in executing remote content including binary files. The files are poisoned with a malicious payload (targeting the file systems accessible by the target software) by the attacker and may be passed through standard channels such as via email, and standard web content like PDF and multimedia files. The attacker exploits known vulnerabilities or handling routines in the target processes. Vulnerabilities of this type have been found in a wide variety of commercial applications from Microsoft Office to Adobe Acrobat and Apple Safari web browser. When the attacker knows the standard handling routines and can identify vulnerabilities and entry points they can be exploited by otherwise seemingly normal content. Once the attack is executed, the attackers' program can access relative directories such as C:\Program Files or other standard system directories to launch further attacks. In a worst case scenario, these programs are combined with other propagation logic and work as a virus.
  • Using Slashes and URL Encoding Combined to Bypass Validation Logic
    This attack targets the encoding of the URL combined with the encoding of the slash characters. An attacker can take advantage of the multiple way of encoding an URL and abuse the interpretation of the URL. An URL may contain special character that need special syntax handling in order to be interpreted. Special characters are represented using a percentage character followed by two digits representing the octet code of the original character (%HEX-CODE). For instance US-ASCII space character would be represented with %20. This is often referred as escaped ending or percent-encoding. Since the server decodes the URL from the requests, it may restrict the access to some URL paths by validating and filtering out the URL requests it received. An attacker will try to craft an URL with a sequence of special characters which once interpreted by the server will be equivalent to a forbidden URL. It can be difficult to protect against this attack since the URL can contain other format of encoding such as UTF-8 encoding, Unicode-encoding, etc.
  • Manipulating Input to File System Calls
    An attacker manipulates inputs to the target software which the target software passes to file system calls in the OS. The goal is to gain access to, and perhaps modify, areas of the file system that the target software did not intend to be accessible.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200710-02 (PHP: Multiple vulnerabilities) Several vulnerabilities were found in PHP. Mattias Bengtsson and Philip Olausson reported integer overflows in the gdImageCreate() and gdImageCreateTrueColor() functions of the GD library which can cause heap-based buffer overflows (CVE-2007-3996). Gerhard Wagner discovered an integer overflow in the chunk_split() function that can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2007-2872). Its incomplete fix caused incorrect buffer size calculation due to precision loss, also resulting in a possible heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2007-4661 and CVE-2007-4660). A buffer overflow in the sqlite_decode_binary() of the SQLite extension found by Stefan Esser that was addressed in PHP 5.2.1 was not fixed correctly (CVE-2007-1887). Stefan Esser discovered an error in the zend_alter_ini_entry() function handling a memory_limit violation (CVE-2007-4659). Stefan Esser also discovered a flaw when handling interruptions with userspace error handlers that can be exploited to read arbitrary heap memory (CVE-2007-1883). Disclosure of sensitive memory can also be triggered due to insufficient boundary checks in the strspn() and strcspn() functions, an issue discovered by Mattias Bengtsson and Philip Olausson (CVE-2007-4657) Stefan Esser reported incorrect validation in the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL filter of the Filter extension allowing arbitrary email header injection (CVE-2007-1900). NOTE: This CVE was referenced, but not fixed in GLSA 200705-19. Stanislav Malyshev found an error with unknown impact in the money_format() function when processing

        SQLite extension found by Stefan Esser that was addressed in PHP 5.2.1
        was not fixed correctly (CVE-2007-1887).
        Stefan Esser discovered an error in the zend_alter_ini_entry() function
        handling a memory_limit violation (CVE-2007-4659). Stefan Esser also
        discovered a flaw when handling interruptions with userspace error
        handlers that can be exploited to read arbitrary heap memory
        (CVE-2007-1883). Disclosure of sensitive memory can also be triggered
        due to insufficient boundary checks in the strspn() and strcspn()
        functions, an issue discovered by Mattias Bengtsson and Philip Olausson
        (CVE-2007-4657)
        Stefan Esser reported incorrect validation in the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL
        filter of the Filter extension allowing arbitrary email header
        injection (CVE-2007-1900). NOTE: This CVE was referenced, but not fixed
        in GLSA 200705-19.
        Stanislav Malyshev found an error with unknown impact in the
        money_format() function when processing '%i' and '%n' tokens
        (CVE-2007-4658). zatanzlatan reported a buffer overflow in the
        php_openssl_make_REQ() function with unknown impact when providing a
        manipulated SSL configuration file (CVE-2007-4662). Possible memory
        corruption when trying to read EXIF data in exif_read_data() and
        exif_thumbnail() occurred with unknown impact.
        Several vulnerabilities that allow bypassing of open_basedir and other
        restrictions were reported, including the glob() function
        (CVE-2007-4663), the session_save_path(), ini_set(), and error_log()
        functions which can allow local command execution (CVE-2007-3378),
        involving the readfile() function (CVE-2007-3007), via the Session
        extension (CVE-2007-4652), via the MySQL extension (CVE-2007-3997) and
        in the dl() function which allows loading extensions outside of the
        specified directory (CVE-2007-4825).
        Multiple Denial of Service vulnerabilities were discovered, including a
        long 'library' parameter in the dl() function (CVE-2007-4887), in
        several iconv and xmlrpc functions (CVE-2007-4840 and CVE-2007-4783),
        in the setlocale() function (CVE-2007-4784), in the glob() and
        fnmatch() function (CVE-2007-4782 and CVE-2007-3806), a floating point
        exception in the wordwrap() function (CVE-2007-3998), a stack
        exhaustion via deeply nested arrays (CVE-2007-4670), an infinite loop
        caused by a specially crafted PNG image in the png_read_info() function
        of libpng (CVE-2007-2756) and several issues related to array
        conversion.
      
    Impact :
    
        Remote attackers might be able to exploit these issues in PHP
        applications making use of the affected functions, potentially
        resulting in the execution of arbitrary code, Denial of Service,
        execution of scripted contents in the context of the affected site,
        security bypass or information leak.
