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.

    "From Red Hat Security Advisory 2011:0162 :
    
    Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and two bugs
    are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
    
    The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
    important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)
    base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for
    each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
    
    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    
    This update fixes the following security issues :
    
    * A heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transparent
    Inter-Process Communication protocol (TIPC) implementation. A local,
    unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2010-3859, Important)
    
    * Missing sanity checks were found in gdth_ioctl_alloc() in the gdth
    driver in the Linux kernel. A local user with access to '/dev/gdth' on
    a 64-bit system could use these flaws to cause a denial of service or
    escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-4157, Moderate)
    
    * A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Bluetooth HCI UART
    driver in the Linux kernel. A local, unprivileged user could use this
    flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4242, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collector for AF_UNIX
    sockets. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to trigger a
    denial of service (out-of-memory condition). (CVE-2010-4249, Moderate)
    
    * Missing initialization flaws were found in the Linux kernel. A
    local, unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause information
    leaks. (CVE-2010-3876, CVE-2010-4072, CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4075,
    CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4083, CVE-2010-4158, Low)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Alan Cox for reporting CVE-2010-4242;
    Vegard Nossum for reporting CVE-2010-4249; Vasiliy Kulikov for
    reporting CVE-2010-3876; Kees Cook for reporting CVE-2010-4072; and
    Dan Rosenberg for reporting CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4075,
    CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4083, and CVE-2010-4158.
    
    This update also fixes the following bugs :
    
    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where, if used in conjunction
    with another flaw that can result in a kernel Oops, could possibly
    lead to privilege escalation. It does not affect Red Hat Enterprise
    Linux 4 as the sysctl panic_on_oops variable is turned on by default.
    However, as a preventive measure if the variable is turned off by an
    administrator, this update addresses the issue. Red Hat would like to
    thank Nelson Elhage for reporting this vulnerability. (BZ#659568)
    
    * On Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) hardware, jumbo frame support
    is achieved by using page-based sk_buff buffers without any packet
    split. The entire frame data is copied to the page(s) rather than some
    to the skb->data area and some to the page(s) when performing a
    typical packet-split. This caused problems with the filtering code and
    frames were getting dropped before they were received by listening
    applications. This bug could eventually lead to the IP address being
    released and not being able to be re-acquired from DHCP if the MTU
    (Maximum Transfer Unit) was changed (for an affected interface using
    the e1000e driver). With this update, frames are no longer dropped and
    an IP address is correctly re-acquired after a previous release.
    (BZ#664667)
    
    Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
    backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be
    rebooted for this update to take effect."

    descriptionBen Hawkes discovered that the Linux kernel did not correctly filter registers on 64bit kernels when performing 32bit system calls. On a 64bit system, a local attacker could manipulate 32bit system calls to gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-3301) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the btrfs filesystem did not correctly validate permissions when using the clone function. A local attacker could overwrite the contents of file handles that were opened for append-only, or potentially read arbitrary contents, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-2537, CVE-2010-2538) Dave Chinner discovered that the XFS filesystem did not correctly order inode lookups when exported by NFS. A remote attacker could exploit this to read or write disk blocks that had changed file assignment or had become unlinked, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-2943) Kees Cook discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver did not correctly validate memory regions. A local attacker with access to the video card could read and write arbitrary kernel memory to gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-2962) Robert Swiecki discovered that ftrace did not correctly handle mutexes. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3079) Dan Rosenberg discovered that several network ioctls did not clear kernel memory correctly. A local user could exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-3296, CVE-2010-3297, CVE-2010-3298) It was discovered that KVM did not correctly initialize certain CPU registers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3698) Brad Spengler discovered that stack memory for new a process was not correctly calculated. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3858) Kees Cook discovered that the ethtool interface did not correctly clear kernel memory. A local attacker could read kernel heap memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-3861) Kees Cook and Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that the shm interface did not clear kernel memory correctly. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-4072) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the RME Hammerfall DSP audio interface driver did not correctly clear kernel memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4081) James Bottomley discovered that the ICP vortex storage array controller driver did not validate certain sizes. A local attacker on a 64bit system could exploit this to crash the kernel, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4157) Alan Cox discovered that the HCI UART driver did not correctly check if a write operation was available. If the mmap_min-addr sysctl was changed from the Ubuntu default to a value of 0, a local attacker could exploit this flaw to gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-4242) Kees Cook discovered that some ethtool functions did not correctly clear heap memory. A local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges could exploit this to read portions of kernel heap memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-4655).

    gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-3301)
    
    Dan Rosenberg discovered that the btrfs filesystem did not correctly
    validate permissions when using the clone function. A local attacker
    could overwrite the contents of file handles that were opened for
    append-only, or potentially read arbitrary contents, leading to a loss
    of privacy. (CVE-2010-2537, CVE-2010-2538)
    
    Dave Chinner discovered that the XFS filesystem did not correctly
    order inode lookups when exported by NFS. A remote attacker could
    exploit this to read or write disk blocks that had changed file
    assignment or had become unlinked, leading to a loss of privacy.
    (CVE-2010-2943)
    
    Kees Cook discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver did not
    correctly validate memory regions. A local attacker with access to the
    video card could read and write arbitrary kernel memory to gain root
    privileges. (CVE-2010-2962)
    
    Robert Swiecki discovered that ftrace did not correctly handle
    mutexes. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel,
    leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3079)
    
    Dan Rosenberg discovered that several network ioctls did not clear
    kernel memory correctly. A local user could exploit this to read
    kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-3296,
    CVE-2010-3297, CVE-2010-3298)
    
    It was discovered that KVM did not correctly initialize certain CPU
    registers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system,
    leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3698)
    
    Brad Spengler discovered that stack memory for new a process was not
    correctly calculated. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the
    system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3858)
    
    Kees Cook discovered that the ethtool interface did not correctly
    clear kernel memory. A local attacker could read kernel heap memory,
    leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-3861)
    
    Kees Cook and Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that the shm interface did
    not clear kernel memory correctly. A local attacker could exploit this
    to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy.
    (CVE-2010-4072)
    
    Dan Rosenberg discovered that the RME Hammerfall DSP audio interface
    driver did not correctly clear kernel memory. A local attacker could
    exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of
    privacy. (CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4081)
    
    James Bottomley discovered that the ICP vortex storage array
    controller driver did not validate certain sizes. A local attacker on
    a 64bit system could exploit this to crash the kernel, leading to a
    denial of service. (CVE-2010-4157)
    
    Alan Cox discovered that the HCI UART driver did not correctly check
    if a write operation was available. If the mmap_min-addr sysctl was
    changed from the Ubuntu default to a value of 0, a local attacker
    could exploit this flaw to gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-4242)
    
    Kees Cook discovered that some ethtool functions did not correctly
    clear heap memory. A local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges
    could exploit this to read portions of kernel heap memory, leading to
    a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-4655).

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leak. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2010-2963 Kees Cook discovered an issue in the v4l 32-bit compatibility layer for 64-bit systems that allows local users with /dev/video write permission to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory, potentially leading to a privilege escalation. On Debian systems, access to /dev/video devices is restricted to members of the

      - CVE-2010-3850
        Nelson Elhage discovered an issue in the Econet
        protocol. Local users can assign econet addresses to
        arbitrary interfaces due to a missing capabilities
        check.
    
      - CVE-2010-3858
        Brad Spengler reported an issue in the setup_arg_pages()
        function. Due to a bounds-checking failure, local users
        can create a denial of service (kernel oops).
    
      - CVE-2010-3859
        Dan Rosenberg reported an issue in the TIPC protocol.
        When the tipc module is loaded, local users can gain
        elevated privileges via the sendmsg() system call.
    
      - CVE-2010-3873
        Dan Rosenberg reported an issue in the X.25 network
        protocol. Local users can cause heap corruption,
        resulting in a denial of service (kernel panic).
    
      - CVE-2010-3874
        Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the Control Area
        Network (CAN) subsystem on 64-bit systems. Local users

    NASL idSUSE_11_2_KERNEL-DEBUG-101215.NASL
    descriptionThis update of the openSUSE 11.2 kernel fixes various bugs and lots of security issues. Following security issues have been fixed: CVE-2010-4258: A local attacker could use a Oops (kernel crash) caused by other flaws to write a 0 byte to a attacker controlled address in the kernel. This could lead to privilege escalation together with other issues. CVE-2010-4160: A overflow in sendto() and recvfrom() routines was fixed that could be used by local attackers to potentially crash the kernel using some socket families like L2TP. CVE-2010-4157: A 32bit vs 64bit integer mismatch in gdth_ioctl_alloc could lead to memory corruption in the GDTH driver. CVE-2010-4165: The do_tcp_setsockopt function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict TCP_MAXSEG (aka MSS) values, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a setsockopt call that specifies a small value, leading to a divide-by-zero error or incorrect use of a signed integer. CVE-2010-4164: A remote (or local) attacker communicating over X.25 could cause a kernel panic by attempting to negotiate malformed facilities. CVE-2010-4175: A local attacker could cause memory overruns in the RDS protocol stack, potentially crashing the kernel. So far it is considered not to be exploitable. CVE-2010-3874: A minor heap overflow in the CAN network module was fixed. Due to nature of the memory allocator it is likely not exploitable. CVE-2010-3874: A minor heap overflow in the CAN network module was fixed. Due to nature of the memory allocator it is likely not exploitable. CVE-2010-4158: A memory information leak in berkely packet filter rules allowed local attackers to read uninitialized memory of the kernel stack. CVE-2010-4162: A local denial of service in the blockdevice layer was fixed. CVE-2010-4163: By submitting certain I/O requests with 0 length, a local user could have caused a kernel panic. CVE-2010-3861: The ethtool_get_rxnfc function in net/core/ethtool.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain block of heap memory, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information via an ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL ethtool command with a large info.rule_cnt value. CVE-2010-3442: Multiple integer overflows in the snd_ctl_new function in sound/core/control.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted (1) SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_ADD or (2) SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE ioctl call. CVE-2010-3437: A range checking overflow in pktcdvd ioctl was fixed. CVE-2010-4078: The sisfb_ioctl function in drivers/video/sis/sis_main.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an FBIOGET_VBLANK ioctl call. CVE-2010-4080: The snd_hdsp_hwdep_ioctl function in sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an SNDRV_HDSP_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO ioctl call. CVE-2010-4081: The snd_hdspm_hwdep_ioctl function in sound/pci/rme9652/hdspm.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an SNDRV_HDSPM_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO ioctl call. CVE-2010-4082: The viafb_ioctl_get_viafb_info function in drivers/video/via/ioctl.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a VIAFB_GET_INFO ioctl call. CVE-2010-3067: Integer overflow in the do_io_submit function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted use of the io_submit system call. CVE-2010-3865: A iovec integer overflow in RDS sockets was fixed which could lead to local attackers gaining kernel privileges.

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. * Buffer overflow in eCryptfs. When /dev/ecryptfs has world-writable permissions (which it does not, by default, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6), a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or possibly escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-2492, Important) * Integer overflow in the RDS protocol implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3865, Important) * Missing boundary checks in the PPP over L2TP sockets implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-4160, Important) * NULL pointer dereference in the igb driver. If both Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) and promiscuous mode were enabled on an interface using igb, it could result in a denial of service when a tagged VLAN packet is received on that interface. (CVE-2010-4263, Important) * Missing initialization flaw in the XFS file system implementation, and in the network traffic policing implementation, could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-3078, CVE-2010-3477, Moderate) * NULL pointer dereference in the Open Sound System compatible sequencer driver could allow a local, unprivileged user with access to /dev/sequencer to cause a denial of service. /dev/sequencer is only accessible to root and users in the audio group by default. (CVE-2010-3080, Moderate) * Flaw in the ethtool IOCTL handler could allow a local user to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-3861, Moderate) * Flaw in bcm_connect() in the Controller Area Network (CAN) Broadcast Manager. On 64-bit systems, writing the socket address may overflow the procname character array. (CVE-2010-3874, Moderate) * Flaw in the module for monitoring the sockets of INET transport protocols could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3880, Moderate) * Missing boundary checks in the block layer implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4162, CVE-2010-4163, CVE-2010-4668, Moderate) * NULL pointer dereference in the Bluetooth HCI UART driver could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4242, Moderate) * Flaw in the Linux kernel CPU time clocks implementation for the POSIX clock interface could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4248, Moderate) * Flaw in the garbage collector for AF_UNIX sockets could allow a local, unprivileged user to trigger a denial of service.

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues, address several hundred bugs, and add numerous enhancements are now available as part of the ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5. This is the sixth regular update. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. This update fixes the following security issues : * A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the igb driver in the Linux kernel. If both the Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) feature and promiscuous mode were enabled on an interface using igb, it could result in a denial of service when a tagged VLAN packet is received on that interface. (CVE-2010-4263, Important) * A missing sanity check was found in vbd_create() in the Xen hypervisor implementation. As CD-ROM drives are not supported by the blkback back-end driver, attempting to use a virtual CD-ROM drive with blkback could trigger a denial of service (crash) on the host system running the Xen hypervisor. (CVE-2010-4238, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel execve() system call implementation. A local, unprivileged user could cause large amounts of memory to be allocated but not visible to the OOM (Out of Memory) killer, triggering a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4243, Moderate) * A flaw was found in fixup_page_fault() in the Xen hypervisor implementation. If a 64-bit para-virtualized guest accessed a certain area of memory, it could cause a denial of service on the host system running the Xen hypervisor. (CVE-2010-4255, Moderate) * A missing initialization flaw was found in the bfa driver used by Brocade Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service by reading a file in the
