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 | BUGTRAQ ID: 35083 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2008-3869,CVE-2008-3870 Solaris是一款由Sun开发和维护的商业UNIX操作系统。 Solaris的sadmind守护程序在为入站的sadmind请求分配内存时存在整数溢出,在解码某些请求参数时存在堆溢出。如果远程攻击者提交了畸形的RPC请求的话,就可以触发这些溢出,导致以root用户权限执行任意代码。 Sun Solaris 9.0_x86 Sun Solaris 9.0 Sun Solaris 8.0_x86 Sun Solaris 8.0 临时解决方法: 如下禁用sadmind(1M): 1. 以root用户编辑/etc/inetd.conf文件,注释掉如下的sadmind(1M)项: #100232/10 tli rpc/udp wait root /usr/sbin/sadmind sadmind 2. 使用以下命令重启inetd(1M)进程,重新读取修改过的/etc/inetd.conf文件: # /usr/bin/pkill -HUP inetd 厂商补丁: Sun --- Sun已经为此发布了一个安全公告(Sun-Alert-259468)以及相应补丁: Sun-Alert-259468:Multiple Vulnerabilities in the Solaris 8 and 9 sadmind(1M) Daemon May Lead to Arbitrary Code Execution 链接:<a href="http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/printfriendly.do?assetkey=1-66-259468-1" target="_blank" rel=external nofollow>http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/printfriendly.do?assetkey=1-66-259468-1</a> |
