Vulnerabilities > CVE-2008-1887 - Classic Buffer Overflow vulnerability in multiple products
Attack vector
UNKNOWN Attack complexity
UNKNOWN Privileges required
UNKNOWN Confidentiality impact
UNKNOWN Integrity impact
UNKNOWN Availability impact
UNKNOWN Summary
Python 2.5.2 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via multiple vectors that cause a negative size value to be provided to the PyString_FromStringAndSize function, which allocates less memory than expected when assert() is disabled and triggers a buffer overflow.
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.

(CVE-2008-1887) Multiple buffer and integer overflow flaws were found in the Python Unicode string processing and in the Python Unicode and string object implementations. An attacker could use these flaws to cause a denial of service (Python application crash). (CVE-2008-3142, CVE-2008-5031) Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the Python imageop module. If a Python application used the imageop module to process untrusted images, it could cause the application to disclose sensitive information, crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the Python interpreter's privileges. (CVE-2007-4965, CVE-2008-4864) Multiple integer underflow and overflow flaws were found in the Python snprintf() wrapper implementation.

An attacker could use these flaws to cause a denial of service (Python application crash). (CVE-2008-2315, CVE-2008-3143) An integer signedness error, leading to a buffer overflow, was found in the Python zlib extension module.

(CVE-2008-1721) A flaw was discovered in the strxfrm() function of the Python locale module. Strings generated by this function were not properly NULL-terminated, which could possibly cause disclosure of data stored in the memory of a Python application using this function.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2007-2052 Piotr Engelking discovered that the strxfrm() function of the locale module miscalculates the length of an internal buffer, which may result in a minor information disclosure. - CVE-2007-4965 It was discovered that several integer overflows in the imageop module may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, if a user is tricked into processing malformed images. This issue is also tracked as CVE-2008-1679 due to an initially incomplete patch. - CVE-2008-1721 Justin Ferguson discovered that a buffer overflow in the zlib module may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. - CVE-2008-1887 Justin Ferguson discovered that insufficient input validation in PyString_FromStringAndSize() may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 32006 published 2008-04-22 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2008-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/32006 title Debian DSA-1551-1 : python2.4 - several vulnerabilities NASL family Scientific Linux Local Security Checks NASL id SL_20090728_PYTHON_FOR_SL_4_X.NASL description When the assert() system call was disabled, an input sanitization flaw was revealed in the Python string object implementation that led to a buffer overflow.

This issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-4965. Justin Ferguson discovered that an integer signedness error in the zlib extension module might trigger insufficient memory allocation and a buffer overflow via a negative signed integer (CVE-2008-1721). Justin Ferguson discovered that insufficient input validation in the PyString_FromStringAndSize() function might lead to a buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1887). Impact : A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial of Service or possibly the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Python. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 33421 published 2008-07-08 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2008-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/33421 title GLSA-200807-01 : Python: Multiple integer overflows NASL family VMware ESX Local Security Checks NASL id VMWARE_VMSA-2009-0016.NASL description a.
