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.

    descriptionUpdated krb5 packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Critical security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other using symmetric encryption and a trusted third- party, the Key Distribution Center (KDC). A buffer overflow flaw was found in the MIT krb5 telnet daemon (telnetd). A remote attacker who can access the telnet port of a target machine could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2011-4862) Note that the krb5 telnet daemon is not enabled by default in any version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In addition, the default firewall rules block remote access to the telnet port. This flaw does not affect the telnet daemon distributed in the telnet-server package. For users who have installed the krb5-workstation package, have enabled the telnet daemon, and have it accessible remotely, this update should be applied immediately. All krb5-workstation users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2011:1852 : Updated krb5-appl packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Critical security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. The krb5-appl packages provide Kerberos-aware telnet, ftp, rcp, rsh, and rlogin clients and servers. Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other using symmetric encryption and a trusted third-party, the Key Distribution Center (KDC). A buffer overflow flaw was found in the MIT krb5 telnet daemon (telnetd). A remote attacker who can access the telnet port of a target machine could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2011-4862) Note that the krb5 telnet daemon is not enabled by default in any version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In addition, the default firewall rules block remote access to the telnet port. This flaw does not affect the telnet daemon distributed in the telnet-server package. For users who have installed the krb5-appl-servers package, have enabled the krb5 telnet daemon, and have it accessible remotely, this update should be applied immediately. All krb5-appl-server users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

    Updated krb5-appl packages that fix one security issue are now

    The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
    Critical security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)
    base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from
    the CVE link in the References section.
    
    The krb5-appl packages provide Kerberos-aware telnet, ftp, rcp, rsh,
    and rlogin clients and servers. Kerberos is a network authentication
    system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other
    using symmetric encryption and a trusted third-party, the Key
    Distribution Center (KDC).
    
    A buffer overflow flaw was found in the MIT krb5 telnet daemon
    (telnetd). A remote attacker who can access the telnet port of a
    target machine could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as root.
    (CVE-2011-4862)
    
    Note that the krb5 telnet daemon is not enabled by default in any
    version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In addition, the default firewall
    rules block remote access to the telnet port. This flaw does not
    affect the telnet daemon distributed in the telnet-server package.
    
    For users who have installed the krb5-appl-servers package, have
    enabled the krb5 telnet daemon, and have it accessible remotely, this
    update should be applied immediately.

In Mandriva the telnetd daemon from the netkit-telnet-server package does not have an initscript to start and stop the service, however one could rather easily craft an initscript or start the service by other means rendering the system vulnerable to this issue.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-14 (MIT Kerberos 5 Applications: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MIT Kerberos 5 Applications: An error in the FTP daemon prevents it from dropping its initial effective group identifier (CVE-2011-1526). A boundary error in the telnet daemon and client could cause a buffer overflow (CVE-2011-4862). Impact : An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the telnet daemon or client. Furthermore, an authenticated remote attacker may be able to read or write files owned by the same group as the effective group of the FTP daemon. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.

    descriptionUpdated krb5 packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extended Life Cycle Support, 5.3 Long Life and 5.6 Extended Update Support The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other using symmetric encryption and a trusted third-party, the Key Distribution Center (KDC). A buffer overflow flaw was found in the MIT krb5 telnet daemon (telnetd). A remote attacker who can access the telnet port of a target machine could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2011-4862) Note that the krb5 telnet daemon is not enabled by default in any version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In addition, the default firewall rules block remote access to the telnet port. This flaw does not affect the telnet daemon distributed in the telnet-server package. For users who have installed the krb5-workstation package, have enabled the telnet daemon, and have it accessible remotely, this update should be applied immediately. All krb5-workstation users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
