Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Authentication Abuse An attacker obtains unauthorized access to an application, service or device either through knowledge of the inherent weaknesses of an authentication mechanism, or by exploiting a flaw in the authentication scheme's implementation. In such an attack an authentication mechanism is functioning but a carefully controlled sequence of events causes the mechanism to grant access to the attacker. This attack may exploit assumptions made by the target's authentication procedures, such as assumptions regarding trust relationships or assumptions regarding the generation of secret values. This attack differs from Authentication Bypass attacks in that Authentication Abuse allows the attacker to be certified as a valid user through illegitimate means, while Authentication Bypass allows the user to access protected material without ever being certified as an authenticated user. This attack does not rely on prior sessions established by successfully authenticating users, as relied upon for the "Exploitation of Session Variables, Resource IDs and other Trusted Credentials" attack patterns.
- Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible) An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
- Utilizing REST's Trust in the System Resource to Register Man in the Middle This attack utilizes a REST(REpresentational State Transfer)-style applications' trust in the system resources and environment to place man in the middle once SSL is terminated. Rest applications premise is that they leverage existing infrastructure to deliver web services functionality. An example of this is a Rest application that uses HTTP Get methods and receives a HTTP response with an XML document. These Rest style web services are deployed on existing infrastructure such as Apache and IIS web servers with no SOAP stack required. Unfortunately from a security standpoint, there frequently is no interoperable identity security mechanism deployed, so Rest developers often fall back to SSL to deliver security. In large data centers, SSL is typically terminated at the edge of the network - at the firewall, load balancer, or router. Once the SSL is terminated the HTTP request is in the clear (unless developers have hashed or encrypted the values, but this is rare). The attacker can utilize a sniffer such as Wireshark to snapshot the credentials, such as username and password that are passed in the clear once SSL is terminated. Once the attacker gathers these credentials, they can submit requests to the web service provider just as authorized user do. There is not typically an authentication on the client side, beyond what is passed in the request itself so once this is compromised, then this is generally sufficient to compromise the service's authentication scheme.
- Man in the Middle Attack This type of attack targets the communication between two components (typically client and server). The attacker places himself in the communication channel between the two components. Whenever one component attempts to communicate with the other (data flow, authentication challenges, etc.), the data first goes to the attacker, who has the opportunity to observe or alter it, and it is then passed on to the other component as if it was never intercepted. This interposition is transparent leaving the two compromised components unaware of the potential corruption or leakage of their communications. The potential for Man-in-the-Middle attacks yields an implicit lack of trust in communication or identify between two components.

NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2010-0258.NASL description Updated pam_krb5 packages that fix one security issue and various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. The pam_krb5 module allows Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) aware applications to use Kerberos to verify user identities by obtaining user credentials at log in time. A flaw was found in pam_krb5. In some non-default configurations (specifically, those where pam_krb5 would be the first module to prompt for a password), the text of the password prompt varied based on whether or not the username provided was a username known to the system. A remote attacker could use this flaw to recognize valid usernames, which would aid a dictionary-based password guess attack.

ESXi userworld update for ntp The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source. A vulnerability in ntpd could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (CPU and bandwidth consumption) by using MODE_PRIVATE to send a spoofed (1) request or (2) response packet that triggers a continuous exchange of MODE_PRIVATE error responses between two NTP daemons. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-3563 to this issue. c. Service Console package openssl updated to 0.9.8e-12.el5_4.1 OpenSSL is a toolkit implementing SSL v2/v3 and TLS protocols with full-strength cryptography world-wide. A memory leak in the zlib could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors that trigger incorrect calls to the CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data function. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-4355 to this issue. A vulnerability was discovered which may allow remote attackers to spoof certificates by using MD2 design flaws to generate a hash collision in less than brute-force time. NOTE: the scope of this issue is currently limited because the amount of computation required is still large. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-2409 to this issue. This update also includes security fixes that were first addressed in version openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5.i386.rpm. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2009-0590, CVE-2009-1377, CVE-2009-1378, CVE-2009-1379, CVE-2009-1386 and CVE-2009-1387 to these issues. d. Service Console update for krb5 to 1.6.1-36.el5_4.1 and pam_krb5 to 2.2.14-15. Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. Multiple integer underflows in the AES and RC4 functionality in the crypto library could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by providing ciphertext with a length that is too short to be valid. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-4212 to this issue. The service console package for pam_krb5 is updated to version pam_krb5-2.2.14-15. This update fixes a flaw found in pam_krb5. In some non-default configurations (specifically, where pam_krb5 would be the first module to prompt for a password), a remote attacker could use this flaw to recognize valid usernames, which would aid a dictionary-based password guess attack. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-1384 to this issue. e. Service Console package bind updated to 9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Daemon) is by far the most widely used Domain Name System (DNS) software on the Internet. A vulnerability was discovered which could allow remote attacker to add the Authenticated Data (AD) flag to a forged NXDOMAIN response for an existing domain. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-0097 to this issue. A vulnerability was discovered which could allow remote attackers to conduct DNS cache poisoning attacks by receiving a recursive client query and sending a response that contains CNAME or DNAME records, which do not have the intended validation before caching. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-0290 to this issue. A vulnerability was found in the way that bind handles out-of- bailiwick data accompanying a secure response without re-fetching from the original source, which could allow remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted response. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-0382 to this issue. NOTE: ESX does not use the BIND name service daemon by default. f. Service Console package gcc updated to 3.2.3-60 The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these languages GNU Libtool's ltdl.c attempts to open .la library files in the current working directory. This could allow a local user to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file. The GNU C Compiler collection (gcc) provided in ESX contains a statically linked version of the vulnerable code, and is being replaced. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-3736 to this issue. g. Service Console package gzip update to 1.3.3-15.rhel3 gzip is a software application used for file compression An integer underflow in gzip's unlzw function on 64-bit platforms may allow a remote attacker to trigger an array index error leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted LZW compressed file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-0001 to this issue. h. Service Console package sudo updated to 1.6.9p17-6.el5_4 Sudo (su 'do') allows a system administrator to delegate authority to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while providing an audit trail of the commands and their arguments. When a pseudo-command is enabled, sudo permits a match between the name of the pseudo-command and the name of an executable file in an arbitrary directory, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted executable file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-0426 to this issue. When the runas_default option is used, sudo does not properly set group memberships, which allows local users to gain privileges via a sudo command. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-0427 to this issue." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"http://lists.vmware.com/pipermail/security-announce/2010/000099.html" ); script_set_attribute(attribute:"solution", value:"Apply the missing patches."); script_set_cvss_base_vector("CVSS2#AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"); script_set_cvss_temporal_vector("CVSS2#E:H/RL:OF/RC:C"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"exploitability_ease", value:"Exploits are available"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"exploit_available", value:"true"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"exploit_framework_core", value:"true"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"exploited_by_malware", value:"true"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"exploit_framework_canvas", value:"true"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"canvas_package", value:'CANVAS'); script_cwe_id(20, 119, 189, 200, 264, 287, 310, 362, 399); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_type", value:"local"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"cpe:/o:vmware:esx:3.5"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"cpe:/o:vmware:esx:4.0"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"cpe:/o:vmware:esxi:4.0"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"patch_publication_date", value:"2010/05/27"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_publication_date", value:"2010/06/01"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"vuln_publication_date", value:"2006/12/18"); script_end_attributes(); script_category(ACT_GATHER_INFO); script_copyright(english:"This script is Copyright (C) 2010-2018 Tenable Network Security, Inc."); script_family(english:"VMware ESX Local Security Checks"); script_dependencies("ssh_get_info.nasl"); script_require_keys("Host/local_checks_enabled", "Host/VMware/release", "Host/VMware/version"); script_require_ports("Host/VMware/esxupdate", "Host/VMware/esxcli_software_vibs"); exit(0); } include("audit.inc"); include("vmware_esx_packages.inc"); if (!get_kb_item("Host/local_checks_enabled")) audit(AUDIT_LOCAL_CHECKS_NOT_ENABLED); if (!get_kb_item("Host/VMware/release")) audit(AUDIT_OS_NOT, "VMware ESX / ESXi"); if ( !get_kb_item("Host/VMware/esxcli_software_vibs") && !get_kb_item("Host/VMware/esxupdate") ) audit(AUDIT_PACKAGE_LIST_MISSING); init_esx_check(date:"2010-05-27"); flag = 0; if (esx_check(ver:"ESX 3.5.0", patch:"ESX350-201006405-SG")) flag++; if (esx_check(ver:"ESX 3.5.0", patch:"ESX350-201006406-SG")) flag++; if ( esx_check( ver : "ESX 3.5.0", patch : "ESX350-201006408-SG", patch_updates : make_list("ESX350-201008411-SG") ) ) flag++; if ( esx_check( ver : "ESX 4.0.0", patch : "ESX400-201005401-SG", patch_updates : make_list("ESX400-201009401-SG", "ESX400-201101401-SG", "ESX400-201103401-SG", "ESX400-201104401-SG", "ESX400-201110401-SG", "ESX400-201111201-SG", "ESX400-201203401-SG", "ESX400-201205401-SG", "ESX400-201206401-SG", "ESX400-201209401-SG", "ESX400-201302401-SG", "ESX400-201305401-SG", "ESX400-201310401-SG", "ESX400-201404401-SG", "ESX400-Update02", "ESX400-Update03", "ESX400-Update04") ) ) flag++; if ( esx_check( ver : "ESX 4.0.0", patch : "ESX400-201005405-SG", patch_updates : make_list("ESX400-Update02", "ESX400-Update03", "ESX400-Update04") ) ) flag++; if ( esx_check( ver : "ESX 4.0.0", patch : "ESX400-201005406-SG", patch_updates : make_list("ESX400-201009403-SG", "ESX400-201110403-SG", "ESX400-201203407-SG", "ESX400-Update02", "ESX400-Update03", "ESX400-Update04") ) ) flag++; if ( esx_check( ver : "ESX 4.0.0", patch : "ESX400-201005407-SG", patch_updates : make_list("ESX400-Update02", "ESX400-Update03", "ESX400-Update04") ) ) flag++; if ( esx_check( ver : "ESX 4.0.0", patch : "ESX400-201005408-SG", patch_updates : make_list("ESX400-201103407-SG", "ESX400-201305403-SG", "ESX400-Update02", "ESX400-Update03", "ESX400-Update04") ) ) flag++; if ( esx_check( ver : "ESX 4.0.0", patch : "ESX400-201005409-SG", patch_updates : make_list("ESX400-201009410-SG", "ESX400-201101404-SG", "ESX400-201305402-SG", "ESX400-Update02", "ESX400-Update03", "ESX400-Update04") ) ) flag++; if ( esx_check( ver : "ESXi 4.0.0", patch : "ESXi400-201005401-SG", patch_updates : make_list("ESXi400-201101401-SG", "ESXi400-201103401-SG", "ESXi400-201104401-SG", "ESXi400-201110401-SG", "ESXi400-201203401-SG", "ESXi400-201205401-SG", "ESXi400-201206401-SG", "ESXi400-201209401-SG", "ESXi400-201302401-SG", "ESXi400-201305401-SG", "ESXi400-201310401-SG", "ESXi400-201404401-SG", "ESXi400-Update02", "ESXi400-Update03", "ESXi400-Update04") ) ) flag++; if (flag) { if (report_verbosity > 0) security_hole(port:0, extra:esx_report_get()); else security_hole(0); exit(0); } else audit(AUDIT_HOST_NOT, "affected");
