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.

support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4. This is
the eighth regular update.

These updated packages fix two security issues, hundreds of bugs, and
add numerous enhancements. Space precludes a detailed description of
each of these in this advisory. Refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4.8 Release Notes for information on 22 of the most significant of
these changes. For more detailed information on specific bug fixes or
enhancements, refer to the Bugzilla numbers associated with this
advisory.

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.

Security Fixes :

* the exit_notify() function in the Linux kernel did not properly
reset the exit signal if a process executed a set user ID (setuid)
application before exiting. This could allow a local, unprivileged
user to elevate their privileges. (CVE-2009-1337, Important)

* the Linux kernel implementation of the Network File System (NFS) did
not properly initialize the file name limit in the nfs_server data
structure. This flaw could possibly lead to a denial of service on a
client mounting an NFS share. (CVE-2009-1336, Moderate)

Bug Fixes and Enhancements :

Kernel Feature Support :

* added a new allowable value to '/proc/sys/kernel/wake_balance' to
allow the scheduler to run the thread on any available CPU rather than
scheduling it on the optimal CPU. * added 'max_writeback_pages'
tunable parameter to /proc/sys/vm/ to allow the maximum number of
modified pages kupdate writes to disk, per iteration per run. * added
'swap_token_timeout' tunable parameter to /proc/sys/vm/ to provide a
valid hold time for the swap out protection token. * added diskdump
support to sata_svw driver. * limited physical memory to 64GB for
32-bit kernels running on systems with more than 64GB of physical
memory to prevent boot failures. * improved reliability of autofs. *
added support for 'rdattr_error' in NFSv4 readdir requests. * fixed
various short packet handling issues for NFSv4 readdir and sunrpc. *
fixed several CIFS bugs.

Networking and IPv6 Enablement :

* added router solicitation support. * enforced sg requires tx csum in
ethtool.

Platform Support :

x86, AMD64, Intel 64, IBM System z

* added support for a new Intel chipset. * added initialization vendor
info in boot_cpu_data. * added support for N_Port ID Virtualization
(NPIV) for IBM System z guests using zFCP. * added HDMI support for
some AMD and ATI chipsets. * updated HDA driver in ALSA to latest
upstream as of 2008-07-22. * added support for affected_cpus for
cpufreq. * removed polling timer from i8042. * fixed PM-Timer when
using the ASUS A8V Deluxe motherboard. * backported usbfs_mutex in
usbfs.

64-bit PowerPC :

* updated eHEA driver from version 0078-04 to 0078-08. * updated
logging of checksum errors in the eHEA driver.

Network Driver Updates :

* updated forcedeth driver to latest upstream version 0.61. * fixed
various e1000 issues when using Intel ESB2 hardware. * updated e1000e
driver to upstream version 0.3.3.3-k6. * updated igb to upstream
version 1.2.45-k2. * updated tg3 to upstream version 3.96. * updated
ixgbe to upstream version 1.3.18-k4. * updated bnx2 to upstream
version 1.7.9. * updated bnx2x to upstream version 1.45.23. * fixed
bugs and added enhancements for the NetXen NX2031 and NX3031 products.
* updated Realtek r8169 driver to support newer network chipsets. All
variants of RTL810x/RTL8168(9) are now supported.

Storage Driver Updates :

* fixed various SCSI issues. Also, the SCSI sd driver now calls the
revalidate_disk wrapper. * fixed a dmraid reduced I/O delay bug in
certain configurations. * removed quirk aac_quirk_scsi_32 for some
aacraid controllers. * updated FCP driver on IBM System z systems with
support for point-to-point connections. * updated lpfc to version
8.0.16.46. * updated megaraid_sas to version 4.01-RH1. * updated MPT
Fusion driver to version 3.12.29.00rh. * updated qla2xxx firmware to
4.06.01 for 4GB/s and 8GB/s adapters. * updated qla2xxx driver to
version 8.02.09.00.04.08-d. * fixed sata_nv in libsata to disable ADMA
mode by default.

"Upgrade the linux-2.6, fai-kernels, and user-mode-linux packages.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-24etch2.

Note: Debian carefully tracks all known security issues across every
linux kernel package in all releases under active security support.
However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security
issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource requirements of
doing an update, updates for lower priority issues will normally not
be released for all kernels at the same time. Rather, they will be
released in a staggered or 'leap-frog' fashion."

    descriptionThese updated packages fix the following security issues : - the exit_notify() function in the Linux kernel did not properly reset the exit signal if a process executed a set user ID (setuid) application before exiting. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to elevate their privileges. (CVE-2009-1337, Important) - the Linux kernel implementation of the Network File System (NFS) did not properly initialize the file name limit in the nfs_server data structure. This flaw could possibly lead to a denial of service on a client mounting an NFS share. (CVE-2009-1336, Moderate) - a flaw was found in the Intel PRO/1000 network driver in the Linux kernel. Frames with sizes near the MTU of an interface may be split across multiple hardware receive descriptors. Receipt of such a frame could leak through a validation check, leading to a corruption of the length check. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted packet that would cause a denial of service. (CVE-2009-1385, Important) - the Linux kernel Network File System daemon (nfsd) implementation did not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability when handling requests from local, unprivileged users. This flaw could possibly lead to an information leak or privilege escalation. (CVE-2009-1072, Moderate) - Frank Filz reported the NFSv4 client was missing a file permission check for the execute bit in some situations. This could allow local, unprivileged users to run non-executable files on NFSv4 mounted file systems. (CVE-2009-1630, Moderate) - a missing check was found in the hypervisor_callback() function in the Linux kernel provided by the kernel-xen package. This could cause a denial of service of a 32-bit guest if an application running in that guest accesses a certain memory location in the kernel. (CVE-2009-1758, Moderate) - a flaw was found in the AGPGART driver. The agp_generic_alloc_page() and agp_generic_alloc_pages() functions did not zero out the memory pages they allocate, which may later be available to user-space processes. This flaw could possibly lead to an information leak. (CVE-2009-1192, Low) These updated packages also fix the following bugs : -

    descriptionThe remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates : CVE-2008-4307 Race condition in the do_setlk function in fs/nfs/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors resulting in an interrupted RPC call that leads to a stray FL_POSIX lock, related to improper handling of a race between fcntl and close in the EINTR case. CVE-2009-1337 The exit_notify function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30-rc1 does not restrict exit signals when the CAP_KILL capability is held, which allows local users to send an arbitrary signal to a process by running a program that modifies the exit_signal field and then uses an exec system call to launch a setuid application. CVE-2009-0834 The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x86_64 platform 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 certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls, a related issue to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343. CVE-2009-1336 fs/nfs/client.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23 does not properly initialize a certain structure member that stores the maximum NFS filename length, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a long filename, related to the encode_lookup function. - CVE-2008-4307 -[nfs] remove bogus lock-if-signalled case (Bryn M.
