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.

    descriptionThis update for sysconfig contains the following fixes : - sysconfig hook script for NetworkManager did not properly quote shell meta characters when processing ESSIDs. Specially crafted network names could therefore lead to execution of shell code (CVE-2011-4182). - Explicitly disabled posix mode in all bash scripts as we are using several features not supported in posix mode (bnc#739338). - Fixed ipv6 dad / link ready wait time calculation (1/10 of the specified time were used), replaced useless up flag check loop with link_ready_wait to avoid send errors from dhclient6 and cleaned up link / dad wait verify flag after status update (bnc#697929).

    description - Fixed to quote config / interface variables in ifservices script and cleaned up content of the ESSID which gets appended to them by NetworkManager dispatcher hook (bnc#735394, CVE-2011-4182). Fixed also to return proper exit code 0 in NM dispatcher hooks. - Changed to call ip addr flush in ifdown, but after ip link set down as it does not cause ipv6 sysctl tree side effects then at least with more recent kernels (bnc#580018,bnc#559170). - Explicitly disabled posix mode in all bash scripts as we are using several features not supported in posix mode (bnc#739338). - Fixed ipv6 dad / link ready wait time calculation (1/10 of the specified time) and replaced useless up flag check loop with link_ready_wait to avoid send errors from dhclient6 (bnc#697929). - Added to require vlan, bridge-utils and tunctl packages via spec, that are often required in base networking configurations and are missed otherwise in 2nd installation stage, that may be unable to install them for some reason (bnc#733118). - Added X-Systemd-RemainAfterExit: true LSB header (bnc#727771) - Do not suggest dhcp6c client from dropped dhcpv6 package in ifup-dhcp, marked dhcp6c as deprecated in network/dhcp and changed to use dhclient6 as first choice (bnc#734723).

"  - Fixed to quote config / interface variables in
    ifservices script and cleaned up content of the ESSID
    which gets appended to them by NetworkManager dispatcher
    hook (bnc#735394, CVE-2011-4182). Fixed also to return
    proper exit code 0 in NM dispatcher hooks.

  - Changed to call ip addr flush in ifdown, but after ip
    link set down as it does not cause ipv6 sysctl tree side
    effects then at least with more recent kernels
    (bnc#580018,bnc#559170).

  - Explicitly disabled posix mode in all bash scripts as we
    are using several features not supported in posix mode
    (bnc#739338).

  - Fixed ipv6 dad / link ready wait time calculation (1/10
    of the specified time) and replaced useless up flag
    check loop with link_ready_wait to avoid send errors
    from dhclient6 (bnc#697929).

  - Added to require vlan, bridge-utils and tunctl packages
    via spec, that are often required in base networking
    configurations and are missed otherwise in 2nd
    installation stage, that may be unable to install them
    for some reason (bnc#733118).

  - Added X-Systemd-RemainAfterExit: true LSB header
    (bnc#727771)

  - Do not suggest dhcp6c client from dropped dhcpv6 package
    in ifup-dhcp, marked dhcp6c as deprecated in
    network/dhcp and changed to use dhclient6 as first
    choice (bnc#734723)."
