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.
- Server Side Include (SSI) Injection An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
- Cross Zone Scripting An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
- Cross Site Scripting through Log Files An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
- Command Line Execution through SQL Injection An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

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-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. This update fixes the following security issues : * A malicious CIFS (Common Internet File System) server could send a specially crafted response to a directory read request that would result in a denial of service or privilege escalation on a system that has a CIFS share mounted. (CVE-2011-3191, Important) * The way fragmented IPv6 UDP datagrams over the bridge with UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) functionality on were handled could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

(CVE-2011-3353, Moderate) * A flaw in the b43 driver. If a system had an active wireless interface that uses the b43 driver, an attacker able to send a specially crafted frame to that interface could cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3359, Moderate) * A flaw in the way CIFS shares with DFS referrals at their root were handled could allow an attacker on the local network, who is able to deploy a malicious CIFS server, to create a CIFS network share that, when mounted, would cause the client system to crash. (CVE-2011-3363, Moderate) * A flaw in the m_stop() implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3637, Moderate) * Flaws in ghash_update() and ghash_final() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-4081, Moderate) * A flaw in the key management facility could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service via the keyctl utility. (CVE-2011-4110, Moderate) * A flaw in the Journaling Block Device (JBD) could allow a local attacker to crash the system by mounting a specially crafted ext3 or ext4 disk. (CVE-2011-4132, Moderate) * A flaw in the way memory containing security-related data was handled in tpm_read() could allow a local, unprivileged user to read the results of a previously run TPM command. (CVE-2011-1162, Low) * I/O statistics from the taskstats subsystem could be read without any restrictions, which could allow a local, unprivileged user to gather confidential information, such as the length of a password used in a process. (CVE-2011-2494, Low) * Flaws in tpacket_rcv() and packet_recvmsg() could allow a local, unprivileged user to leak information to user-space.

This update also fixes the following bugs : * Previously, a mismatch in the build-id of the kernel-rt and the one in the related debuginfo package caused failures in SystemTap and perf. (BZ#768413) * IBM x3650m3 systems were not able to boot the MRG Realtime kernel because they require a pmcraid driver that was not available. The pmcraid driver is included in this update. (BZ#753992) Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 76635 published 2014-07-22 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2014-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/76635 title RHEL 6 : MRG (RHSA-2012:0010) NASL family Amazon Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ALA_ALAS-2011-26.NASL description IPv6 fragment identification value generation could allow a remote attacker to disrupt a target system last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 69585 published 2013-09-04 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/69585 title Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2011-26) NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-1243-1.NASL description It was discovered that the security fix for CVE-2010-4250 introduced a regression.
