Vulnerable Configurations
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.

description | The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 6.0.472.53. It therefore is reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - It is possible to bypass the pop-up blocker with a blank frame target . (Issue #34414) - It is possible to visually spoof the URL bar with homographic sequences. (Issue #37201) - Restrictions on setting clipboard content are not strict enough. (Issue #41654) - A stale pointer exists with SVG filters. (Issue #45659) - It may be possible to enumerate installed extensions. (Issue #45876) - An unspecified vulnerability in WebSockets could lead to a browser NULL crash. (Issue #46750, #51846) - A use-after-free error exists in the Notifications presenter. (Issue #50386) - An unspecified memory corruption issue exists in Notification permissions. (Issue #50839) - Multiple unspecified integer errors exist in WebSockets. (Issue #51360, #51739) - A memory corruption issue exists with counter nodes. (Issue #51653) - Chrome may store an excessive amount of autocomplete entries. (Issue #51727) - A stale pointer exists in focus handling. (Issue #52443) - A Sandbox parameter deserialization error exists. (Issue #52682) - An unspecified cross-origin image theft issue exists. (Issue #53001) |
