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.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_11_0_REALPLAYER-090521.NASL description RealPlayer 10 is vulnerable to a critical security problem in the flash plugin (CVE-2007-5400). Real does not provide updated binaries of RealPlayer 10 and SUSE is not allowed to ship RealPlayer 11. Therefore this update disables the flash plugin by setting restrictive file system permissions. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 39902 published 2009-07-21 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/39902 title openSUSE Security Update : RealPlayer (RealPlayer-906) NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2008-0812.NASL description RealPlayer 10.0.9 as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras, 4 Extras, and 5 Supplementary, contains a security flaw and should not be used. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. [Updated 17 September 2008] We have updated this erratum to include packages which remove RealPlayer from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras, 4 Extras and 5 Supplementary. RealPlayer is a media player that provides media playback locally and via streaming. RealPlayer 10.0.9 is vulnerable to a critical security flaw and should no longer be used. A remote attacker could leverage this flaw to execute arbitrary code as the user running RealPlayer. (CVE-2007-5400) This issue is addressed in RealPlayer 11. Red Hat is unable to ship RealPlayer 11 due to additional proprietary codecs included in that version. Therefore, users who wish to continue to use RealPlayer should get an update directly from www.real.com. This update removes the RealPlayer 10.0.9 packages due to their known security vulnerabilities. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 40726 published 2009-08-24 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/40726 title RHEL 3 / 4 / 5 : RealPlayer (RHSA-2008:0812) NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-201312-11.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201312-11 (Win32 Codecs: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code) A heap-based buffer overflow exists when handling Shockwave Flash files.
