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.

"Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several
bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

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 missing boundary check was found in the dvb_ca_ioctl() function in
the Linux kernel's av7110 module. On systems that use old DVB cards
that require the av7110 module, a local, unprivileged user could use
this flaw to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges.
(CVE-2011-0521, Important)

* An inconsistency was found in the interaction between the Linux
kernel's method for allocating NFSv4 (Network File System version 4)
ACL data and the method by which it was freed. This inconsistency led
to a kernel panic which could be triggered by a local, unprivileged
user with files owned by said user on an NFSv4 share. (CVE-2011-1090,
Moderate)

* A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Generic Receive
Offload (GRO) functionality in the Linux kernel's networking
implementation. If both GRO and promiscuous mode were enabled on an
interface in a virtual LAN (VLAN), it could result in a denial of
service when a malformed VLAN frame is received on that interface.
(CVE-2011-1478, Moderate)

* A missing security check in the Linux kernel's implementation of the
install_special_mapping() function could allow a local, unprivileged
user to bypass the mmap_min_addr protection mechanism. (CVE-2010-4346,
Low)

* An information leak was found in the Linux kernel's task_show_regs()
implementation. On IBM S/390 systems, a local, unprivileged user could
use this flaw to read /proc/[PID]/status files, allowing them to
discover the CPU register values of processes. (CVE-2011-0710, Low)

* A missing validation check was found in the Linux kernel's
mac_partition() implementation, used for supporting file systems
created on Mac OS operating systems. A local attacker could use this
flaw to cause a denial of service by mounting a disk that contains
specially crafted partitions. (CVE-2011-1010, Low)

Red Hat would like to thank Ryan Sweat for reporting CVE-2011-1478;
Tavis Ormandy for reporting CVE-2010-4346; and Timo Warns for
reporting CVE-2011-1010.

This update also fixes several bugs. Documentation for these bug fixes
will be available shortly from the Technical Notes document linked to
in the References section.

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues, and fix the bugs noted in
the Technical Notes. The system must be rebooted for this update to
take effect."

privileges. (CVE-2010-4656, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux Ethernet bridge implementation
handled certain IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) packets. A
local, unprivileged user on a system that has a network interface in
an Ethernet bridge could use this flaw to crash that system.
(CVE-2011-0716, Moderate)

* A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Generic Receive
Offload (GRO) functionality in the Linux kernel's networking
implementation. If both GRO and promiscuous mode were enabled on an
interface in a virtual LAN (VLAN), it could result in a denial of
service when a malformed VLAN frame is received on that interface.
(CVE-2011-1478, Moderate)

* A missing initialization flaw in the Linux kernel could lead to an
information leak. (CVE-2010-3296, Low)

* A missing security check in the Linux kernel's implementation of the
install_special_mapping() function could allow a local, unprivileged
user to bypass the mmap_min_addr protection mechanism. (CVE-2010-4346,
Low)

* A logic error in the orinoco_ioctl_set_auth() function in the Linux
kernel's ORiNOCO wireless extensions support implementation could
render TKIP countermeasures ineffective when it is enabled, as it
enabled the card instead of shutting it down. (CVE-2010-4648, Low)

* A missing initialization flaw was found in the ethtool_get_regs()
function in the Linux kernel's ethtool IOCTL handler. A local user who
has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this flaw to cause an
information leak. (CVE-2010-4655, Low)

* An information leak was found in the Linux kernel's task_show_regs()
implementation. On IBM S/390 systems, a local, unprivileged user could
use this flaw to read /proc/[PID]/status files, allowing them to
discover the CPU register values of processes. (CVE-2011-0710, Low)

    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-2010-2524 David Howells reported an issue in the Common Internet File System (CIFS). Local users could cause arbitrary CIFS shares to be mounted by introducing malicious redirects. - CVE-2010-3875 Vasiliy Kulikov discovered an issue in the Linux implementation of the Amateur Radio AX.25 Level 2 protocol. Local users may obtain access to sensitive kernel memory. - CVE-2010-4075 Dan Rosenberg reported an issue in the tty layer that may allow local users to obtain access to sensitive kernel memory. - CVE-2010-4655 Kees Cook discovered several issues in the ethtool interface which may allow local users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to obtain access to sensitive kernel memory. - CVE-2011-0695 Jens Kuehnel reported an issue in the InfiniBand stack. Remote attackers can exploit a race condition to cause a denial of service (kernel panic). - CVE-2011-0710 Al Viro reported an issue in the /proc/<pid>/status interface on the s390 architecture. Local users could gain access to sensitive memory in processes they do not own via the task_show_regs entry. - CVE-2011-0711 Dan Rosenberg reported an issue in the XFS filesystem. Local users may obtain access to sensitive kernel memory. - CVE-2011-0726 Kees Cook reported an issue in the /proc/<pid>/stat implementation.

    titleDebian DSA-2264-1 : linux-2.6 - privilege escalation/denial of service/information leak
  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_11_KERNEL-110228.NASL
    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel was updated to 2.6.32.29 and fixes various bugs and security issues. - The ax25_getname function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure. (CVE-2010-3875) - net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize certain structure members, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW capability to read copies of the applicable structures. (CVE-2010-3876) - The get_name function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a copy of this structure. (CVE-2010-3877) - The sctp_auth_asoc_get_hmac function in net/sctp/auth.c in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the hmac_ids array of an SCTP peer, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) via a crafted value in the last element of this array. (CVE-2010-3705) - A stack memory information leak in the xfs FSGEOMETRY_V1 ioctl was fixed. (CVE-2011-0711) - Multiple buffer overflows in the caiaq Native Instruments USB audio functionality in the Linux kernel might have allowed attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long USB device name, related to (1) the snd_usb_caiaq_audio_init function in sound/usb/caiaq/audio.c and (2) the snd_usb_caiaq_midi_init function in sound/usb/caiaq/midi.c. (CVE-2011-0712) - The task_show_regs function in arch/s390/kernel/traps.c in the Linux kernel on the s390 platform allowed local users to obtain the values of the registers of an arbitrary process by reading a status file under /proc/. (CVE-2011-0710) - The xfs implementation in the Linux kernel did not look up inode allocation btrees before reading inode buffers, which allowed remote authenticated users to read unlinked files, or read or overwrite disk blocks that are currently assigned to an active file but were previously assigned to an unlinked file, by accessing a stale NFS filehandle. (CVE-2010-2943) - The uart_get_count function in drivers/serial/serial_core.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 TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4075) - The rs_ioctl function in drivers/char/amiserial.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 TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4076) - The ntty_ioctl_tiocgicount function in drivers/char/nozomi.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 TIOCGICOUNT ioctl call. (CVE-2010-4077) - fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel did not enable the OOM Killer to assess use of stack memory by arrays representing the (1) arguments and (2) environment, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted exec system call, aka an OOM dodging issue, a related issue to CVE-2010-3858. (CVE-2010-4243) - The blk_rq_map_user_iov function in block/blk-map.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a zero-length I/O request in a device ioctl to a SCSI device, related to an unaligned map. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2010-4163. (CVE-2010-4668) - Integer underflow in the irda_getsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel on platforms other than x86 allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel heap memory via an IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES getsockopt call. (CVE-2010-4529) - The aun_incoming function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel, when Econet is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by sending an Acorn Universal Networking (AUN) packet over UDP. (CVE-2010-4342) - The backend driver in Xen 3.x allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service via a kernel thread leak, which prevented the device and guest OS from being shut down or create a zombie domain, causing a hang in zenwatch, or preventing unspecified xm commands from working properly, related to (1) netback, (2) blkback, or (3) blktap. (CVE-2010-3699) - The install_special_mapping function in mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel did not make an expected security_file_mmap function call, which allows local users to bypass intended mmap_min_addr restrictions and possibly conduct NULL pointer dereference attacks via a crafted assembly-language application. (CVE-2010-4346) - Fixed a verify_ioctl overflow in
