Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Subverting Environment Variable Values
    The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
  • Footprinting
    An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
  • 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.
  • Browser Fingerprinting
    An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
  • Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
    This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

    "a. Windows-based VMware Tools Unsafe Library Loading vulnerability
    
       A vulnerability in the way VMware libraries are referenced allows
       for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user.
       This vulnerability is present only on Windows Guest Operating
       Systems.
    
       In order for an attacker to exploit the vulnerability, the attacker
       would need to lure the user that is logged on a Windows Guest
       Operating System to click on the attacker's file on a network
       share. This file could be in any file format. The attacker will
       need to have the ability to host their malicious files on a
       network share.
    
       VMware would like to thank Jure Skofic and Mitja Kolsek of ACROS
       Security (http://www.acrossecurity.com) for reporting this issue
       to us.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2010-1141 to this issue.
    
       Steps needed to remediate this vulnerability :
    
       Guest systems on VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, Server, Fusion
        - Install the remediated version of Workstation, Player, ACE,
          Server and Fusion.
        - Upgrade tools in the virtual machine (virtual machine users
          will be prompted to upgrade).
    
       Guest systems on ESX 4.0, 3.5, 3.0.3, 2.5.5, ESXi 4.0, 3.5
        - Install the relevant patches (see below for patch identifiers)
        - Manually upgrade tools in the virtual machine (virtual machine
          users will not be prompted to upgrade).  Note the VI Client will
          not show the VMware tools is out of date in the summary tab.
          Please see http://tinyurl.com/27mpjo page 80 for details.
    
    b. Windows-based VMware Tools Arbitrary Code Execution vulnerability
    
       A vulnerability in the way VMware executables are loaded allows for
       arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. This
       vulnerability is present only on Windows Guest Operating Systems.
    
       In order for an attacker to exploit the vulnerability, the attacker
       would need to be able to plant their malicious executable in a
       certain location on the Virtual Machine of the user.  On most
       recent versions of Windows (XP, Vista) the attacker would need to
       have administrator privileges to plant the malicious executable in
       the right location.
    
       Steps needed to remediate this vulnerability: See section 3.a.
    
       VMware would like to thank Mitja Kolsek of ACROS Security
       (http://www.acrossecurity.com) for reporting this issue to us.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2010-1142 to this issue.
    
       Refer to the previous table in section 3.a for what action
       remediates the vulnerability (column 4) if a solution is
       available. See above for remediation details.
    
    c. Windows-based VMware Workstation and Player host privilege
       escalation
    
       A vulnerability in the USB service allows for a privilege
       escalation. A local attacker on the host of a Windows-based
       Operating System where VMware Workstation or VMware Player
       is installed could plant a malicious executable on the host and
       elevate their privileges.
    
       In order for an attacker to exploit the vulnerability, the attacker
       would need to be able to plant their malicious executable in a
       certain location on the host machine.  On most recent versions of
       Windows (XP, Vista) the attacker would need to have administrator
       privileges to plant the malicious executable in the right location.
    
       VMware would like to thank Thierry Zoller for reporting this issue
       to us.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2010-1140 to this issue.
    
    d. Third-party library update for libpng to version 1.2.37
    
       The libpng libraries through 1.2.35 contain an uninitialized-
       memory-read bug that may have security implications.
       Specifically, 1-bit (2-color) interlaced images whose widths are
       not divisible by 8 may result in several uninitialized bits at the
       end of certain rows in certain interlace passes being returned to
       the user. An application that failed to mask these out-of-bounds
       pixels might display or process them, albeit presumably with benign
       results in most cases.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-2042 to this issue.
    
    e. VMware VMnc Codec heap overflow vulnerabilities
    
       The VMware movie decoder contains the VMnc media codec that is
       required to play back movies recorded with VMware Workstation,
       VMware Player and VMware ACE, in any compatible media player. The
       movie decoder is installed as part of VMware Workstation, VMware
       Player and VMware ACE, or can be downloaded as a stand alone
       package.
    
       Vulnerabilities in the decoder allow for execution of arbitrary
       code with the privileges of the user running an application
       utilizing the vulnerable codec.
    
       For an attack to be successful the user must be tricked into
       visiting a malicious web page or opening a malicious video file on
       a system that has the vulnerable version of the VMnc codec installed.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the names CVE-2009-1564 and CVE-2009-1565 to these
       issues.
    
       VMware would like to thank iDefense, Sebastien Renaud of VUPEN
       Vulnerability Research Team (http://www.vupen.com) and Alin Rad Pop
       of Secunia Research for reporting these issues to us.
    
       To remediate the above issues either install the stand alone movie
       decoder or update your product using the table below.
    
    f. VMware Remote Console format string vulnerability
    
       VMware Remote Console (VMrc) contains a format string vulnerability.
       Exploitation of this issue may lead to arbitrary code execution on
       the system where VMrc is installed.
    
       For an attack to be successful, an attacker would need to trick the
       VMrc user into opening a malicious Web page or following a malicious
       URL. Code execution would be at the privilege level of the user.
    
       VMrc is present on a system if the VMrc browser plug-in has been
       installed. This plug-in is required when using the console feature in
       WebAccess. Installation of the plug-in follows after visiting the
       console tab in WebAccess and choosing 'Install plug-in'. The plug-
       in can only be installed on Internet Explorer and Firefox.
    
       Under the following two conditions your version of VMrc is likely
       to be affected :
    
       - the VMrc plug-in was obtained from vCenter 4.0 or from ESX 4.0
         without patch ESX400-200911223-UG and
       - VMrc is installed on a Windows-based system
    
       The following steps allow you to determine if you have an affected
       version of VMrc installed :
    
       - Locate the VMrc executable vmware-vmrc.exe on your Windows-based
         system
       - Right click and go to Properties
       - Go to the tab 'Versions'
       - Click 'File Version' in the 'Item Name' window
       - If the 'Value' window shows 'e.x.p build-158248', the version of
         VMrc is affected
    
       Remediation of this issue on Windows-based systems requires the
       following steps (Linux-based systems are not affected) :
    
       - Uninstall affected versions of VMrc from the systems where the
         VMrc plug-in has been installed (use the Windows Add/Remove
         Programs interface)
       - Install vCenter 4.0 Update 1 or install the ESX 4.0 patch
         ESX400-200911223-UG
       - Login into vCenter 4.0 Update 1 or ESX 4.0 with patch
         ESX400-200911223-UG using WebAccess on the system where the VMrc
         needs to be re-installed
       - Re-install VMrc by going to the console tab in WebAccess.  The
         Console tab is selectable after selecting a virtual machine.
    
       Note: the VMrc plug-in for Firefox on Windows-based operating
       systems is no longer compatible after the above remediation steps.
       Users are advised to use the Internet Explorer VMrc plug-in.
    
       VMware would like to thank Alexey Sintsov from Digital Security
       Research Group for reporting this issue to us.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-3732 to this issue.
    
    
    g. Windows-based VMware authd remote denial of service
    
       A vulnerability in vmware-authd could cause a denial of service
       condition on Windows-based hosts.  The denial of service is limited
       to a crash of authd.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2009-3707 to this issue.
    
    h. Potential information leak via hosted networking stack
    
       A vulnerability in the virtual networking stack of VMware hosted
       products could allow host information disclosure.
    
       A guest operating system could send memory from the host vmware-vmx
       process to the virtual network adapter and potentially to the
       host's physical Ethernet wire.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2010-1138 to this issue.
    
       VMware would like to thank Johann MacDonagh for reporting this
       issue to us.
    
    i. Linux-based vmrun format string vulnerability
    
       A format string vulnerability in vmrun could allow arbitrary code
       execution.
    
       If a vmrun command is issued and processes are listed, code could
       be executed in the context of the user listing the processes.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2010-1139 to this issue.
    
       VMware would like to thank Thomas Toth-Steiner for reporting this
       issue to us."

        Remote
        Console Plug-in.  A remote attacker could exploit this
        by tricking a user into requesting a malicious web
        page, resulting in arbitrary code execution.
        (CVE-2009-3732)
    
      - A flaw in the virtual networking stack could result in
        an information leak, causing memory from a guest VM to
        be sent to host's physical network. (CVE-2010-1138)
    
      - A vulnerability in the USB service allows a local
        attacker to elevate privileges by placing a malicious
        file in a certain location.  This vulnerability only
        affects Workstation and Player installed on Windows.
        (CVE-2010-1140)
    
      - A flaw in the way VMware libraries are referenced could
        allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in a
        guest Windows VM by tricking a user into requesting a
        malicious file. (CVE-2010-1141)
    
      - A flaw in the way VMware executables are loaded could
        allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary code in a
        guest Windows VM by planting a malicious file in a
        a certain location. (CVE-2010-1142)");

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201209-25 (VMware Player, Server, Workstation: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in VMware Player, Server, and Workstation. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : Local users may be able to gain escalated privileges, cause a Denial of Service, or gain sensitive information. A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code, or a Denial of Service. Remote attackers also may be able to spoof DNS traffic, read arbitrary files, or inject arbitrary web script to the VMware Server Console. Furthermore, guest OS users may be able to execute arbitrary code on the host OS, gain escalated privileges on the guest OS, or cause a Denial of Service (crash the host OS). Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
