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.

    Updated kernel packages that resolve several security issues and fix
    various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
    
    This update has been rated as having important security impact by the
    Red Hat Security Response Team.
    
    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    
    This update addresses the following security issues :
    
    * the sendmsg() function in the Linux kernel did not block during UNIX
    socket garbage collection. This could, potentially, lead to a local
    denial of service. (CVE-2008-5300, Important)
    
    * when fput() was called to close a socket, the __scm_destroy()
    function in the Linux kernel could make indirect recursive calls to
    itself. This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service.
    (CVE-2008-5029, Important)
    
    * a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel virtual file system (VFS)
    implementation. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to make a
    series of file creations within deleted directories, possibly causing
    a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3275, Moderate)
    
    * a buffer underflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel IB700 SBC
    watchdog timer driver. This deficiency could lead to a possible
    information leak. By default, the '/dev/watchdog' device is accessible
    only to the root user. (CVE-2008-5702, Low)
    
    * the hfs and hfsplus file systems code failed to properly handle
    corrupted data structures. This could, potentially, lead to a local
    denial of service. (CVE-2008-4933, CVE-2008-5025, Low)
    
    * a flaw was found in the hfsplus file system implementation. This
    could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service when write
    operations were performed. (CVE-2008-4934, Low)
    
    This update also fixes the following bugs :
    
    * when running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6 and 4.7 on some systems
    running Intel(r) CPUs, the cpuspeed daemon did not run, preventing the
    CPU speed from being changed, such as not being reduced to an idle
    state when not in use.
    
    * mmap() could be used to gain access to beyond the first megabyte of
    RAM, due to insufficient checks in the Linux kernel code. Checks have

    a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3275, Moderate)
    
    * a buffer underflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel IB700 SBC
    watchdog timer driver. This deficiency could lead to a possible
    information leak. By default, the '/dev/watchdog' device is accessible
    only to the root user. (CVE-2008-5702, Low)
    
    * the hfs and hfsplus file systems code failed to properly handle
    corrupted data structures. This could, potentially, lead to a local

    * a flaw was found in the hfsplus file system implementation. This
    could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service when write
    operations were performed. (CVE-2008-4934, Low)
    
    This update also fixes the following bugs :
    
    * when running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6 and 4.7 on some systems
    running Intel(r) CPUs, the cpuspeed daemon did not run, preventing the
    CPU speed from being changed, such as not being reduced to an idle
    state when not in use.
    
    * mmap() could be used to gain access to beyond the first megabyte of
    RAM, due to insufficient checks in the Linux kernel code. Checks have
    been added to prevent this.
    
    * attempting to turn keyboard LEDs on and off rapidly on keyboards
    with slow keyboard controllers, may have caused key presses to fail.
    
    * after migrating a hypervisor guest, the MAC address table was not

    openSUSE 11.0 kernel. It was also updated to the stable version
    2.6.25.20.
    
    CVE-2008-5702: Buffer underflow in the ibwdt_ioctl function in
    drivers/watchdog/ib700wdt.c might allow local users to have an unknown
    impact via a certain /dev/watchdog WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT IOCTL call.
    
    CVE-2008-5700: libata did not set minimum timeouts for SG_IO requests,
    which allows local users to cause a denial of service (Programmed I/O
    mode on drives) via multiple simultaneous invocations of an
    unspecified test program.
    
    CVE-2008-5079: net/atm/svc.c in the ATM subsystem allowed local users
    to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) by making two
    calls to svc_listen for the same socket, and then reading a
    /proc/net/atm/*vc file, related to corruption of the vcc table.
    
    CVE-2008-5300: Linux kernel 2.6.28 allows local users to cause a
    denial of service ('soft lockup' and process loss) via a large number
    of sendmsg function calls, which does not block during AF_UNIX garbage
    collection and triggers an OOM condition, a different vulnerability
    than CVE-2008-5029.
    
    CVE-2008-5029: The __scm_destroy function in net/core/scm.c makes
    indirect recursive calls to itself through calls to the fput function,
    which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via
    vectors related to sending an SCM_RIGHTS message through a UNIX domain
    socket and closing file descriptors.
    
    CVE-2008-4933: Buffer overflow in the hfsplus_find_cat function in
    fs/hfsplus/catalog.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service
    (memory corruption or system crash) via an hfsplus filesystem image
    with an invalid catalog namelength field, related to the
    hfsplus_cat_build_key_uni function.
    
    CVE-2008-5025: Stack-based buffer overflow in the hfs_cat_find_brec
    function in fs/hfs/catalog.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of
    service (memory corruption or system crash) via an hfs filesystem
    image with an invalid catalog namelength field, a related issue to
    CVE-2008-4933.
    
    CVE-2008-5182: The inotify functionality might allow local users to
    gain privileges via unknown vectors related to race conditions in
    inotify watch removal and umount.
    
    CVE-2008-3831: The i915 driver in drivers/char/drm/i915_dma.c does not
    restrict the DRM_I915_HWS_ADDR ioctl to the Direct Rendering Manager
    (DRM) master, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
    (memory corruption) via a crafted ioctl call, related to absence of
    the DRM_MASTER and DRM_ROOT_ONLY flags in the ioctl's configuration.
    
    CVE-2008-4554: The do_splice_from function in fs/splice.c did not
    reject file descriptors that have the O_APPEND flag set, which allows
    local users to bypass append mode and make arbitrary changes to other
    locations in the file."

    descriptionHugo Dias discovered that the ATM subsystem did not correctly manage socket counts. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a system hang, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5079) It was discovered that the inotify subsystem contained watch removal race conditions. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5182) Dann Frazier discovered that in certain situations sendmsg did not correctly release allocated memory. A local attacker could exploit this to force the system to run out of free memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5300) Helge Deller discovered that PA-RISC stack unwinding was not handled correctly. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading do a denial of service. This did not affect official Ubuntu kernels, but was fixed in the source for anyone performing HPPA kernel builds. (CVE-2008-5395) It was discovered that the ATA subsystem did not correctly set timeouts. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a system hang, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5700) It was discovered that the ib700 watchdog timer did not correctly check buffer sizes. A local attacker could send a specially crafted ioctl to the device to cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5702). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    "Updated kernel packages that resolve several security issues and fix
    various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
    
    This update has been rated as having important security impact by the
    Red Hat Security Response Team.
    
    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    
    This update addresses the following security issues :
    
    * the sendmsg() function in the Linux kernel did not block during UNIX
    socket garbage collection. This could, potentially, lead to a local
    denial of service. (CVE-2008-5300, Important)
    
    * when fput() was called to close a socket, the __scm_destroy()
    function in the Linux kernel could make indirect recursive calls to
    itself. This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service.
    (CVE-2008-5029, Important)
    
    * a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel virtual file system (VFS)
    implementation. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to make a
    series of file creations within deleted directories, possibly causing
    a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3275, Moderate)
    
    * a buffer underflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel IB700 SBC
    watchdog timer driver. This deficiency could lead to a possible
    information leak. By default, the '/dev/watchdog' device is accessible
    only to the root user. (CVE-2008-5702, Low)
    
    * the hfs and hfsplus file systems code failed to properly handle
    corrupted data structures. This could, potentially, lead to a local
    denial of service. (CVE-2008-4933, CVE-2008-5025, Low)
    
    * a flaw was found in the hfsplus file system implementation. This
    could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service when write
    operations were performed. (CVE-2008-4934, Low)
    
    This update also fixes the following bugs :
    
    * when running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6 and 4.7 on some systems
    running Intel(r) CPUs, the cpuspeed daemon did not run, preventing the
    CPU speed from being changed, such as not being reduced to an idle
    state when not in use.
    
    * mmap() could be used to gain access to beyond the first megabyte of
    RAM, due to insufficient checks in the Linux kernel code. Checks have
    been added to prevent this.
    
    * attempting to turn keyboard LEDs on and off rapidly on keyboards
    with slow keyboard controllers, may have caused key presses to fail.
    
    * after migrating a hypervisor guest, the MAC address table was not
    updated, causing packet loss and preventing network connections to the
    guest. Now, a gratuitous ARP request is sent after migration. This
    refreshes the ARP caches, minimizing network downtime.
    
    * writing crash dumps with diskdump may have caused a kernel panic on
    Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) systems with certain memory
    configurations.
    
    * on big-endian systems, such as PowerPC, the getsockopt() function
    incorrectly returned 0 depending on the parameters passed to it when
    the time to live (TTL) value equaled 255, possibly causing memory
    corruption and application crashes.
    
    * a problem in the kernel packages provided by the RHSA-2008:0508
    advisory caused the Linux kernel's built-in memory copy procedure to
    return the wrong error code after recovering from a page fault on
    AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. This may have caused other Linux kernel
    functions to return wrong error codes.
    
    * a divide-by-zero bug in the Linux kernel process scheduler, which
    may have caused kernel panics on certain systems, has been resolved.
    
    * the netconsole kernel module caused the Linux kernel to hang when
    slave interfaces of bonded network interfaces were started, resulting
    in a system hang or kernel panic when restarting the network.
    
    * the '/proc/xen/' directory existed even if systems were not running
    Red Hat Virtualization. This may have caused problems for third-party
    software that checks virtualization-ability based on the existence of
    '/proc/xen/'. Note: this update will remove the '/proc/xen/' directory
    on systems not running Red Hat Virtualization.
    
    All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users should upgrade to these updated
    packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues."

    descriptionThis update addresses the following security issues : - the sendmsg() function in the Linux kernel did not block during UNIX socket garbage collection. This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service. (CVE-2008-5300, Important) - when fput() was called to close a socket, the __scm_destroy() function in the Linux kernel could make indirect recursive calls to itself. This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service. (CVE-2008-5029, Important) - a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel virtual file system (VFS) implementation. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to make a series of file creations within deleted directories, possibly causing a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3275, Moderate) - a buffer underflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel IB700 SBC watchdog timer driver. This deficiency could lead to a possible information leak. By default, the

    descriptionThis kernel update for openSUSE 10.3 fixes some bugs and several security problems. The following security issues are fixed: A local denial of service problem in the splice(2) system call. CVE-2009-0834: The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform did not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls. CVE-2009-1072: nfsd in the Linux kernel did not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the root_squash option. CVE-2009-0835 The __secure_computing function in kernel/seccomp.c in the seccomp subsystem in the Linux kernel on the x86_64 platform, when CONFIG_SECCOMP is enabled, does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted syscalls that are misinterpreted as (a) stat or (b) chmod. CVE-2009-1439: Buffer overflow in fs/cifs/connect.c in CIFS in the Linux kernel 2.6.29 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or potential code execution via a long nativeFileSystem field in a Tree Connect response to an SMB mount request.
