Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Leveraging/Manipulating Configuration File Search Paths
    This attack loads a malicious resource into a program's standard path used to bootstrap and/or provide contextual information for a program like a path variable or classpath. J2EE applications and other component based applications that are built from multiple binaries can have very long list of dependencies to execute. If one of these libraries and/or references is controllable by the attacker then application controls can be circumvented by the attacker. A standard UNIX path looks similar to this If the attacker modifies the path variable to point to a locale that includes malicious resources then the user unwittingly can execute commands on the attackers' behalf: This is a form of usurping control of the program and the attack can be done on the classpath, database resources, or any other resources built from compound parts. At runtime detection and blocking of this attack is nearly impossible, because the configuration allows execution.

    descriptionPython has a variable called sys.path that contains all paths where Python loads modules by using import scripting procedure. A wrong handling of that variable enables local attackers to execute arbitrary code via Python scripting in the current gedit working directory (CVE-2009-0314). This update provides fix for that vulnerability.

    The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low
    security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
    scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each
    vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
    
    Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
    language.
    
    It was found that many applications embedding the Python interpreter
    did not specify a valid full path to the script or application when
    calling the PySys_SetArgv API function, which could result in the
    addition of the current working directory to the module search path
    (sys.path). A local attacker able to trick a victim into running such
    an application in an attacker-controlled directory could use this flaw
    to execute code with the victim's privileges. This update adds the
    PySys_SetArgvEx API. Developers can modify their applications to use
    this new API, which sets sys.argv without modifying sys.path.
    (CVE-2008-5983)
    
    Multiple flaws were found in the Python rgbimg module. If an
    application written in Python was using the rgbimg module and loaded a
    specially crafted SGI image file, it could cause the application to
    crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
    user running the application. (CVE-2009-4134, CVE-2010-1449,
    CVE-2010-1450)
    
    Multiple flaws were found in the Python audioop module. Supplying
    certain inputs could cause the audioop module to crash or, possibly,
    execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-1634, CVE-2010-2089)
    
    This update also fixes the following bugs :
    
    * When starting a child process from the subprocess module in Python
    2.4, the parent process could leak file descriptors if an error
    occurred. This update resolves the issue. (BZ#609017)
    
    * Prior to Python 2.7, programs that used 'ulimit -n' to enable
    communication with large numbers of subprocesses could still monitor
    only 1024 file descriptors at a time, which caused an exception :
    
    ValueError: filedescriptor out of range in select()
    
    This was due to the subprocess module using the 'select' system call.
    The module now uses the 'poll' system call, removing this limitation.
    (BZ#609020)
    
    * Prior to Python 2.5, the tarfile module failed to unpack tar files
    if the path was longer than 100 characters. This update backports the
    tarfile module from Python 2.5 and the issue no longer occurs.
    (BZ#263401)
    
    * The email module incorrectly implemented the logic for obtaining
    attachment file names: the get_filename() fallback for using the
    deprecated 'name' parameter of the 'Content-Type' header erroneously
    used the 'Content-Disposition' header. This update backports a fix
    from Python 2.6, which resolves this issue. (BZ#644147)
    
    * Prior to version 2.5, Python's optimized memory allocator never
    released memory back to the system. The memory usage of a long-running
    Python process would resemble a 'high-water mark'. This update
    backports a fix from Python 2.5a1, which frees unused arenas, and adds
    a non-standard sys._debugmallocstats() function, which prints
    diagnostic information to stderr. Finally, when running under
    Valgrind, the optimized allocator is deactivated, to allow more
    convenient debugging of Python memory usage issues. (BZ#569093)
    
    * The urllib and urllib2 modules ignored the no_proxy variable, which
    could lead to programs such as 'yum' erroneously accessing a proxy
    server for URLs covered by a 'no_proxy' exclusion. This update
    backports fixes of urllib and urllib2, which respect the 'no_proxy'
    variable, which fixes these issues. (BZ#549372)
    
    As well, this update adds the following enhancements :
    
    * This update introduces a new python-libs package, subsuming the
    majority of the content of the core python package. This makes both
    32-bit and 64-bit Python libraries available on PowerPC systems.
    (BZ#625372)
    
    * The python-libs.i386 package is now available for 64-bit Itanium
    with the 32-bit Itanium compatibility mode. (BZ#644761)
    
    All Python users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
    which contain backported patches to correct these issues and add these
    enhancements."

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200903-41 (gedit: Untrusted search path) James Vega reported that gedit uses the current working directory when searching for python modules, a vulnerability related to CVE-2008-5983. Impact : A local attacker could entice a user to open gedit from a specially crafted environment, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. Workaround : Do not run gedit from untrusted working directories.
