Summary

tcsd in TrouSerS before 0.3.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted type_offset value in a TCP packet to port 30003.

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.

    TrouSerS is an implementation of the Trusted Computing Group's
    Software Stack (TSS) specification. You can use TrouSerS to write
    applications that make use of your TPM hardware. TPM hardware can
    create, store and use RSA keys securely (without ever being exposed in
    memory), verify a platform's software state using cryptographic hashes
    and more.
    
    A flaw was found in the way tcsd, the daemon that manages Trusted
    Computing resources, processed incoming TCP packets. A remote attacker
    could send a specially crafted TCP packet that, when processed by
    tcsd, could cause the daemon to crash. Note that by default tcsd
    accepts requests on localhost only. (CVE-2012-0698)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Andrew Lutomirski for reporting this
    issue.
    
    The trousers package has been upgraded to upstream version 0.3.13,
    which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the
    previous version, including corrected internal symbol names to avoid
    collisions with other applications, fixed memory leaks, added IPv6
    support, fixed buffer handling in tcsd, as well as changed the license
