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.

(teTeX: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Joachim Schrod discovered several buffer overflow vulnerabilities and
    an insecure temporary file creation in the 'dvilj' application that is
    used by dvips to convert DVI files to printer formats (CVE-2007-5937,
    CVE-2007-5936). Bastien Roucaries reported that the 'dvips' application
    is vulnerable to two stack-based buffer overflows when processing DVI
    documents with long \\href{} URIs (CVE-2007-5935). teTeX also includes
    code from Xpdf that is vulnerable to a memory corruption and two
    heap-based buffer overflows (GLSA 200711-22); and it contains code from
    T1Lib that is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when processing an overly
    long font filename (GLSA 200710-12).
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
    DVI or PDF file which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code
    with the privileges of the user running the application. A local
    attacker could exploit the 'dvilj' vulnerability to conduct a symlink
    attack to overwrite arbitrary files.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."

    descriptionA flaw in the t1lib library where an attacker could create a malicious file that would cause tetex to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened (CVE-2007-4033). Alin Rad Pop found several flaws in how PDF files are handled in tetex. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause tetex to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code when opened (CVE-2007-4352, CVE-2007-5392, CVE-2007-5393). A stack-based buffer overflow in dvips in tetex allows for user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a DVI file with a long href tag (CVE-2007-5935). A vulnerability in dvips in tetex allows local users to obtain sensitive information and modify certain data by creating certain temporary files before they are processed by dviljk, which can then be read or modified in place (CVE-2007-5936). Multiple buffer overflows in dviljk in tetext may allow users-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted DVI input file (CVE-2007-5937). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

statementNot vulnerable. teTeX is packaged without the dviljk binary in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, making it impossible to exploit this flaw. We are however including this fix in RHSA-2010:0399, RHSA-2010:0400, and RHSA-2010:0401 in the event the binary is shipped in the future.
