Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • XML Ping of the Death
    An attacker initiates a resource depletion attack where a large number of small XML messages are delivered at a sufficiently rapid rate to cause a denial of service or crash of the target. Transactions such as repetitive SOAP transactions can deplete resources faster than a simple flooding attack because of the additional resources used by the SOAP protocol and the resources necessary to process SOAP messages. The transactions used are immaterial as long as they cause resource utilization on the target. In other words, this is a normal flooding attack augmented by using messages that will require extra processing on the target.
  • XML Entity Expansion
    An attacker submits an XML document to a target application where the XML document uses nested entity expansion to produce an excessively large output XML. XML allows the definition of macro-like structures that can be used to simplify the creation of complex structures. However, this capability can be abused to create excessive demands on a processor's CPU and memory. A small number of nested expansions can result in an exponential growth in demands on memory.
  • Inducing Account Lockout
    An attacker leverages the security functionality of the system aimed at thwarting potential attacks to launch a denial of service attack against a legitimate system user. Many systems, for instance, implement a password throttling mechanism that locks an account after a certain number of incorrect log in attempts. An attacker can leverage this throttling mechanism to lock a legitimate user out of their own account. The weakness that is being leveraged by an attacker is the very security feature that has been put in place to counteract attacks.
  • Violating Implicit Assumptions Regarding XML Content (aka XML Denial of Service (XDoS))
    XML Denial of Service (XDoS) can be applied to any technology that utilizes XML data. This is, of course, most distributed systems technology including Java, .Net, databases, and so on. XDoS is most closely associated with web services, SOAP, and Rest, because remote service requesters can post malicious XML payloads to the service provider designed to exhaust the service provider's memory, CPU, and/or disk space. The main weakness in XDoS is that the service provider generally must inspect, parse, and validate the XML messages to determine routing, workflow, security considerations, and so on. It is exactly these inspection, parsing, and validation routines that XDoS targets. There are three primary attack vectors that XDoS can navigate Target CPU through recursion: attacker creates a recursive payload and sends to service provider Target memory through jumbo payloads: service provider uses DOM to parse XML. DOM creates in memory representation of XML document, but when document is very large (for example, north of 1 Gb) service provider host may exhaust memory trying to build memory objects. XML Ping of death: attack service provider with numerous small files that clog the system. All of the above attacks exploit the loosely coupled nature of web services, where the service provider has little to no control over the service requester and any messages the service requester sends.

"Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues, several
bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
moderate 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 :

* Numerous reference count leaks were found in the Linux kernel's
block layer I/O context handling implementation. This could allow a
local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2012-0879,
Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's cifs_lookup() implementation.
POSIX open during lookup should only be supported for regular files.
When non-regular files (for example, a named (FIFO) pipe or other
special files) are opened on lookup, it could cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2012-1090, Moderate)

* It was found that the Linux kernel's register set (regset) common
infrastructure implementation did not check if the required get and
set handlers were initialized. A local, unprivileged user could use
this flaw to cause a denial of service by performing a register set
operation with a ptrace() PTRACE_SETREGSET or PTRACE_GETREGSET
request. (CVE-2012-1097, Moderate)

Red Hat would like to thank H. Peter Anvin for reporting
CVE-2012-1097.

This update also fixes several bugs and adds various enhancements.
Documentation for these changes 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 and add
the enhancements noted in the Technical Notes. The system must be
rebooted for this update to take effect."

"Upgrade the linux-2.6 and user-mode-linux packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.6.32-44. Updates are currently only available for the amd64,
i386 and sparc ports.

Note: updated linux-2.6 packages will also be made available in the
release of Debian 6.0.5, scheduled to take place the weekend of
2012.05.12. This pending update will be version 2.6.32-45, and
provides an additional fix for build failures on some architectures.
Users for whom this update is not critical, and who may wish to avoid
multiple reboots, should consider waiting for the 6.0.5 release before
updating, or installing the 2.6.32-45 version ahead of time from
proposed-updates.

The following matrix lists additional source packages that were
rebuilt for compatibility with or to take advantage of this update :

                       Debian 6.0 (squeeze)

"The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.

This update fixes the following security issues :

  - Numerous reference count leaks were found in the Linux
    kernel's block layer I/O context handling
    implementation. This could allow a local, unprivileged
    user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2012-0879,
    Moderate)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's cifs_lookup()
    implementation. POSIX open during lookup should only be
    supported for regular files. When non-regular files (for
    example, a named (FIFO) pipe or other special files) are
    opened on lookup, it could cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2012-1090, Moderate)

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's register set
    (regset) common infrastructure implementation did not
    check if the required get and set handlers were
    initialized. A local, unprivileged user could use this
    flaw to cause a denial of service by performing a
    register set operation with a ptrace() PTRACE_SETREGSET
    or PTRACE_GETREGSET request. (CVE-2012-1097, Moderate)

This update also fixes several bugs and adds various enhancements. The
system must be rebooted for this update to take effect."

    descriptionAn updated rhev-hypervisor6 package that fixes three security issues and one bug is now available. 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 rhev-hypervisor6 package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor ISO disk image. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is a dedicated Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. It includes everything necessary to run and manage virtual machines: A subset of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating environment and the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Agent. Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions. A flaw was found in the way libtasn1 decoded DER data. An attacker could create carefully-crafted DER encoded input (such as an X.509 certificate) that, when parsed by an application that uses libtasn1 (such as applications using GnuTLS), could cause the application to crash. (CVE-2012-1569) A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS decrypted malformed TLS records. This could cause a TLS/SSL client or server to crash when processing a specially crafted TLS record from a remote TLS/SSL connection peer. (CVE-2012-1573) An integer overflow flaw was found in the implementation of the printf functions family. This could allow an attacker to bypass FORTIFY_SOURCE protections and execute arbitrary code using a format string flaw in an application, even though these protections are expected to limit the impact of such flaws to an application abort. (CVE-2012-0864) Red Hat would like to thank Matthew Hall of Mu Dynamics for reporting CVE-2012-1569 and CVE-2012-1573. This updated package provides updated components that include fixes for various security issues. These issues have no security impact on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor itself, however. The security fixes included in this update address the following CVE numbers : CVE-2011-4128 (gnutls issue) CVE-2012-0879, CVE-2012-1090, and CVE-2012-1097 (kernel issues) CVE-2012-0884 and CVE-2012-1165 (openssl issues) CVE-2012-0060, CVE-2012-0061, and CVE-2012-0815 (rpm issues) This update also fixes the following bug : * The Hypervisor previously set the lro_disable option for the enic driver. The driver does not support this option, as a result the Hypervisor did not correctly detect and configure the network interfaces of a Cisco M81KR adaptor, when present. The Hypervisor has been updated and no longer sets the invalid option for this driver. (BZ#809463) Users of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these issues.

    descriptionDescription of changes: * CVE-2012-0879: Denial of service in CLONE_IO. CLONE_IO reference counting error could be exploited by an unprivileged local user to cause denial of service. * CVE-2012-1097: NULL pointer dereference in the ptrace subsystem. Under certain circumstances, ptrace-ing a process could lead to a NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic. * CVE-2012-1090: Denial of service in the CIFS filesystem reference counting. Under certain circumstances, the CIFS filesystem would open a file on lookup. If the file was determined later to be a FIFO or any other special file the file handle would be leaked, leading to reference counting mismatch and a kernel OOPS on unmount.
