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.

    NASL idSUSE_11_KERNEL-141202.NASL
    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 3 kernel has been updated to fix various bugs and security issues. The following security bugs have been fixed : - The __request_module function in kernel/kmod.c in the Linux kernel before 3.4 did not set a certain killable attribute, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted application. (bnc#779488). (CVE-2012-4398) - drivers/hid/hid-zpff.c in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11, when CONFIG_HID_ZEROPLUS is enabled, allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a crafted device. (bnc#835839). (CVE-2013-2889) - The Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11, when CONFIG_LOGITECH_FF, CONFIG_LOGIG940_FF, or CONFIG_LOGIWHEELS_FF is enabled, allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a crafted device, related to (1) drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c, (2) drivers/hid/hid-lg3ff.c, and (3) drivers/hid/hid-lg4ff.c. (bnc#835839). (CVE-2013-2893) - Multiple array index errors in drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11, when CONFIG_HID_MULTITOUCH is enabled, allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption, or NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted device. (bnc#835839). (CVE-2013-2897) - drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_core.c in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11, when CONFIG_HID_PICOLCD is enabled, allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted device. (bnc#835839). (CVE-2013-2899) - The Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates certain length values before ensuring that associated data structures have been initialized, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system call, related to net/ipv4/ping.c, net/ipv4/raw.c, net/ipv4/udp.c, net/ipv6/raw.c, and net/ipv6/udp.c. (bnc#853040, bnc#857643). (CVE-2013-7263) - Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the magicmouse_raw_event function in drivers/hid/hid-magicmouse.c in the Magic Mouse HID driver in the Linux kernel through 3.16.3 allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted device that provides a large amount of (1) EHCI or (2) XHCI data associated with an event. (bnc#896382).

    "The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 3 kernel has been updated to
    fix various bugs and security issues.
    
    The following security bugs have been fixed :
    
      - The __request_module function in kernel/kmod.c in the
        Linux kernel before 3.4 did not set a certain killable
        attribute, which allowed local users to cause a denial
        of service (memory consumption) via a crafted
        application. (bnc#779488). (CVE-2012-4398)
    
      - drivers/hid/hid-zpff.c in the Human Interface Device
        (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11, when
        CONFIG_HID_ZEROPLUS is enabled, allowed physically
        proximate attackers to cause a denial of service
        (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a crafted device.
        (bnc#835839). (CVE-2013-2889)
    
      - The Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux
        kernel through 3.11, when CONFIG_LOGITECH_FF,
        CONFIG_LOGIG940_FF, or CONFIG_LOGIWHEELS_FF is enabled,
        allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial
        of service (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a
        crafted device, related to (1) drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c,
        (2) drivers/hid/hid-lg3ff.c, and (3)
        drivers/hid/hid-lg4ff.c. (bnc#835839). (CVE-2013-2893)

        pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted device.
        (bnc#835839). (CVE-2013-2899)
    
      - The Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates certain length
        values before ensuring that associated data structures
        have been initialized, which allowed local users to
        obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory
        via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system
        call, related to net/ipv4/ping.c, net/ipv4/raw.c,
        net/ipv4/udp.c, net/ipv6/raw.c, and net/ipv6/udp.c.

        magicmouse_raw_event function in
        drivers/hid/hid-magicmouse.c in the Magic Mouse HID
        driver in the Linux kernel through 3.16.3 allowed
        physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of
        service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
        code via a crafted device that provides a large amount
        of (1) EHCI or (2) XHCI data associated with an event.
        (bnc#896382). (CVE-2014-3181)
    
      - The report_fixup functions in the HID subsystem in the
        Linux kernel before 3.16.2 allowed physically proximate
        attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
        write) via a crafted device that provides a small report
        descriptor, related to (1) drivers/hid/hid-cherry.c, (2)

        devices/hid/hid-picolcd_core.c in the PicoLCD HID device
        driver in the Linux kernel through 3.16.3, as used in
        Android on Nexus 7 devices, allowed physically proximate
        attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
        possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted device
        that sends a large report. (bnc#896392). (CVE-2014-3186)
    
      - The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in
        the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 miscalculated the number
        of pages during the handling of a mapping failure, which
        allowed guest OS users to (1) cause a denial of service
        (host OS memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified
        other impact by triggering a large gfn value or (2)
        cause a denial of service (host OS memory consumption)
        by triggering a small gfn value that leads to
        permanently pinned pages. (bnc#892782). (CVE-2014-3601)
    
      - The WRMSR processing functionality in the KVM subsystem
        in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 did not properly
        handle the writing of a non-canonical address to a
        model-specific register, which allowed guest OS users to
        cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging
        guest OS privileges, related to the wrmsr_interception
        function in arch/x86/kvm/svm.c and the handle_wrmsr
        function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c. (bnc#899192).

      - arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux
        kernel through 3.17.2 did not have an exit handler for
        the INVVPID instruction, which allowed guest OS users to
        cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted
        application. (bnc#899192). (CVE-2014-3646)
    
      - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux
        kernel through 3.17.2 did not properly perform RIP
        changes, which allowed guest OS users to cause a denial
        of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application.
        (bnc#899192). (CVE-2014-3647)
    
      - The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through
        3.17.2 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
        service (system crash) via a malformed ASCONF chunk,
        related to net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c and
        net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c. (bnc#902346, bnc#902349).
        (CVE-2014-3673)
    
      - arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S in the Linux kernel through
        3.15.1 on 32-bit x86 platforms, when syscall auditing is
        enabled and the sep CPU feature flag is set, allowed
        local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS and
        system crash) via an invalid syscall number, as
        demonstrated by number 1000. (bnc#883724).
        (CVE-2014-4508)
    
      - * DISPUTED * Multiple integer overflows in the
        lzo1x_decompress_safe function in
        lib/lzo/lzo1x_decompress_safe.c in the LZO decompressor
        in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2 allowed
        context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
        (memory corruption) via a crafted Literal Run. NOTE: the
        author of the LZO algorithms says: The Linux kernel is
        not affected; media hype. (bnc#883948). (CVE-2014-4608)
    
      - kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel
        through 3.17.2 did not properly handle private syscall
        numbers during use of the ftrace subsystem, which
        allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial
        of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a crafted
        application. (bnc#904013). (CVE-2014-7826)
    
      - An SCTP server doing ASCONF would panic on malformed
        INIT ping-of-death. (bnc#905100). (CVE-2014-7841)
    
      - The ieee80211_fragment function in net/mac80211/tx.c in
        the Linux kernel before 3.13.5 did not properly maintain
        a certain tail pointer, which allowed remote attackers
        to obtain sensitive cleartext information by reading
        packets. (bnc#904700). (CVE-2014-8709)
    
      - A local user with write access could have used this flaw
        to crash the kernel or elevate privileges (bnc#905522).

    descriptionUpdated kernel packages that fix one security issue, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available as part of the ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5. This is the tenth regular update. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate 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 kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. This update fixes the following security issue : * It was found that a deadlock could occur in the Out of Memory (OOM) killer. A process could trigger this deadlock by consuming a large amount of memory, and then causing request_module() to be called. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (excessive memory consumption). (CVE-2012-4398, Moderate) Red Hat would like to thank Tetsuo Handa for reporting this issue. This update also fixes numerous bugs and adds various enhancements. Refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10 Release Notes for information on the most significant of these changes, and the Technical Notes for further information, both linked to in the References. All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 users are advised to install these updated packages, which correct this issue, and fix the bugs and add the enhancements noted in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10 Release Notes and Technical Notes. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

CVE-2014-3610: The WRMSR processing functionality in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 did not properly handle the writing of a non-canonical address to a model-specific register, which allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging guest OS privileges, related to the wrmsr_interception function in arch/x86/kvm/svm.c and the handle_wrmsr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c (bnc#899192). - CVE-2014-3646: arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 did not have an exit handler for the INVVPID instruction, which allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application (bnc#899192). - CVE-2014-3647: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 did not properly perform RIP changes, which allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application (bnc#899192). - CVE-2014-3673: The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a malformed ASCONF chunk, related to net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c and net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c (bnc#902346). - CVE-2014-3687: The sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack function in net/sctp/associola.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via duplicate ASCONF chunks that trigger an incorrect uncork within the side-effect interpreter (bnc#902349). - CVE-2014-3688: The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering a large number of chunks in an associations output queue, as demonstrated by ASCONF probes, related to net/sctp/inqueue.c and net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c (bnc#902351). - CVE-2014-3690: arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors did not ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allowed host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU (bnc#902232). - CVE-2014-4608: Multiple integer overflows in the lzo1x_decompress_safe function in lib/lzo/lzo1x_decompress_safe.c in the LZO decompressor in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2 allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted Literal Run (bnc#883948). - CVE-2014-4943: The PPPoL2TP feature in net/l2tp/l2tp_ppp.c in the Linux kernel through 3.15.6 allowed local users to gain privileges by leveraging data-structure differences between an l2tp socket and an inet socket (bnc#887082). - CVE-2014-5471: Stack consumption vulnerability in the parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 allowed local users to cause a denial of service (uncontrolled recursion, and system crash or reboot) via a crafted iso9660 image with a CL entry referring to a directory entry that has a CL entry (bnc#892490). - CVE-2014-5472: The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 allowed local users to cause a denial of service (unkillable mount process) via a crafted iso9660 image with a self-referential CL entry (bnc#892490). - CVE-2014-7826: kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 did not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the ftrace subsystem, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a crafted application (bnc#904013). - CVE-2014-7841: The sctp_process_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4, when ASCONF is used, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a malformed INIT chunk (bnc#905100). -

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2013:0223 : Updated kernel packages that fix three security issues and several bugs 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 : * It was found that a deadlock could occur in the Out of Memory (OOM) killer. A process could trigger this deadlock by consuming a large amount of memory, and then causing request_module() to be called. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (excessive memory consumption). (CVE-2012-4398, Moderate) * A flaw was found in the way the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) subsystem handled guests attempting to run with the X86_CR4_OSXSAVE CPU feature flag set. On hosts without the XSAVE CPU feature, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the host system. (The

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2013:1348 : Updated kernel packages that fix one security issue, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available as part of the ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5. This is the tenth regular update. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate 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 kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. This update fixes the following security issue : * It was found that a deadlock could occur in the Out of Memory (OOM) killer. A process could trigger this deadlock by consuming a large amount of memory, and then causing request_module() to be called. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (excessive memory consumption). (CVE-2012-4398, Moderate) Red Hat would like to thank Tetsuo Handa for reporting this issue. This update also fixes numerous bugs and adds various enhancements. Refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10 Release Notes for information on the most significant of these changes, and the Technical Notes for further information, both linked to in the References. All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 users are advised to install these updated packages, which correct this issue, and fix the bugs and add the enhancements noted in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10 Release Notes and Technical Notes. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
