Summary

The ApiThread function in the firewall service (aka TmPfw.exe) in Trend Micro Network Security Component (NSC) modules, as used in Trend Micro OfficeScan 8.0 SP1 Patch 1 and Internet Security 2007 and 2008 17.0.1224, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (service crash) via a packet with a large value in an unspecified size field.

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.

descriptionBUGTRAQ ID: 33358 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2008-3864,CVE-2008-3865,CVE-2008-3866 Trend Micro病毒扫描引擎为桌面、服务器和网关提供杀毒功能。 各种Trend Micro产品所捆绑的网络安全组件(NSC)模块中存在多个漏洞,允许本地用户导致拒绝服务、获得权限提升或控制防火墙设置。 1) 防火墙服务(TmPfw.exe)的ApiThread()函数在处理发送给该服务(默认40000/TCP端口)的报文时存在堆溢出漏洞,在大小字段中包含有较小值的报文可以触发这个溢出,大小字段中包含有超长值会导致服务崩溃。 2) Trend Micro Internet Security包含一个用于配置防火墙的管理接口。为了防范用户非授权更改,对这个接口启用了口令限制。但Trend Micro的个人防火墙服务(TmPfw.exe)没有实施这个口令检查,如果远程攻击者向40000/TCP端口发送特制报文就可以非授权修改防火墙设置。 Trend Micro OfficeScan Corporate Edition 8.0 SP1 Patch 1 Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2008 Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 Trend Micro ----------- 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.antivirus.com/ target=_blank rel=external nofollow>http://www.antivirus.com/</a>
