Vulnerable Configurations
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.

| description | CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2008-0304 Thunderbird是Mozilla发布的邮件客户端，支持IMAP、POP邮件协议以及HTML邮件格式。 Thunderbird在处理畸形格式的邮件数据时存在漏洞，远程攻击者可能利用此漏洞控制用户系统。 Thunderbird没有正确地解析邮件中的external-body MIME类型，在计算所要分配堆缓冲区的字节数时没有为所要拷贝的数据保留足够的空间。如果用户受骗打开了恶意邮件消息的话，就可能最多覆盖3字节的缓冲区，导致执行任意指令。 Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 临时解决方法： * 将mailnews.display.disallow_mime_handlers配置属性设置为>= 3。 厂商补丁： Mozilla ------- 目前厂商已经发布了升级补丁以修复这个安全问题，请到厂商的主页下载： <a href=http://www.mozilla.org/ target=_blank>http://www.mozilla.org/</a> |
