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.

NASL family VMware ESX Local Security Checks NASL id VMWARE_VMSA-2009-0008.NASL description a. Service Console package krb5 update Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. An input validation flaw in the asn1_decode_generaltime function in MIT Kerberos 5 before 1.6.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving an invalid DER encoding that triggers a free of an uninitialized pointer. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash a network service using the MIT Kerberos library, such as kadmind or krb5kdc, by causing it to dereference or free an uninitialized pointer or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the service. NOTE: ESX by default is unaffected by this issue, the daemons kadmind and krb5kdc are not installed in ESX. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-0846 to this issue. In addition the ESX 4.0 Service Console krb5 package was also updated for CVE-2009-0845, and CVE-2009-0844 and RHBA-2009-0135. MIT Kerberos versions 5 1.5 through 1.6.3 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service by using invalid ContextFlags data in the reqFlags field in a negTokenInit token. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-0845 to this issue. MIT Kerberos 5 before version 1.6.4 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code by using vectors involving an invalid DER encoding that triggers a free of an uninitialized pointer. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-0846 to this issue. For ESX 4.0, 3.5, 3.0.3 the Service Console package pam_krb5 has also been upgraded.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other using symmetric encryption and a trusted third party, the Key Distribution Center (KDC). An input validation flaw was found in the ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) decoder used by MIT Kerberos. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash a network service using the MIT Kerberos library, such as kadmind or krb5kdc, by causing it to dereference or free an uninitialized pointer or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the service. (CVE-2009-0846) All krb5 users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. All running services using the MIT Kerberos libraries must be restarted for the update to take effect. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 36114 published 2009-04-08 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/36114 title RHEL 2.1 / 3 : krb5 (RHSA-2009:0410) NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2009-0408.NASL description Updated krb5 packages that fix various security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

description | BUGTRAQ ID: 34408 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2009-0844,CVE-2009-0847 Kerberos是一款广泛使用的使用强壮的加密来验证客户端和服务器端的网络协议。MIT Kerberos 5是一种常用的开源Kerberos实现。 krb5在实现SPNEGO GSS-API机制时get_input_token()函数可能会读过网络输入缓冲区的末尾,如果读取了无效地址空间可能会导致任何使用Kerberos GSS-API库来认证用户的网络服务崩溃。 krb5的ASN.1解码器中asn1buf_imbed()函数没有执行正确的长度检查,远程攻击者可以利用这个漏洞导致使用Kerberos库的网络服务(如kadmind或krb5kdc)引用或释放未初始化的指针,造成崩溃。 MIT Kerberos 5 1.5 厂商补丁: MIT --- 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://web.mit.edu/kerberos/advisories/2009-001-patch.txt target=_blank rel=external nofollow>http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/advisories/2009-001-patch.txt</a> RedHat ------ RedHat已经为此发布了一个安全公告(RHSA-2009:0408-01)以及相应补丁: RHSA-2009:0408-01:Important: krb5 security update 链接:<a href=https://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2009-0408.html target=_blank rel=external nofollow>https://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2009-0408.html</a> |
