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.

    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.
