Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Subverting Environment Variable Values
    The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
  • Footprinting
    An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
  • Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible)
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
  • Browser Fingerprinting
    An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
  • Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
    This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

    descriptionThe Linux kernel was updated to fix various bugs and security issues : CVE-2013-0871: Race condition in the ptrace functionality in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges via a PTRACE_SETREGS ptrace system call in a crafted application, as demonstrated by ptrace_death. CVE-2013-0160: Avoid a side channel attack on /dev/ptmx (keyboard input timing). CVE-2012-5374: Fixed a local denial of service in the BTRFS hashing code. CVE-2013-0309: arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h in the Linux kernel, when transparent huge pages are used, does not properly support PROT_NONE memory regions, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted application. CVE-2013-0268: The msr_open function in arch/x86/kernel/msr.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass intended capability restrictions by executing a crafted application as root, as demonstrated by msr32.c. CVE-2012-0957: The override_release function in kernel/sys.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a uname system call in conjunction with a UNAME26 personality. CVE-2013-0216: The Xen netback functionality in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (loop) by triggering ring pointer corruption. CVE-2013-0231: The pciback_enable_msi function in the PCI backend driver (drivers/xen/pciback/conf_space_capability_msi.c) in Xen for the Linux kernel allowed guest OS users with PCI device access to cause a denial of service via a large number of kernel log messages. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third-party information. CVE-2012-4530: The load_script function in fs/binfmt_script.c in the Linux kernel did not properly handle recursion, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application. CVE-2012-4508: Race condition in fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from a deleted file by reading an extent that was not properly marked as uninitialized. CVE-2012-3412: The sfc (aka Solarflare Solarstorm) driver in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (DMA descriptor consumption and network-controller outage) via crafted TCP packets that trigger a small MSS value. CVE-2012-2745: The copy_creds function in kernel/cred.c in the Linux kernel provided an invalid replacement session keyring to a child process, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a crafted application that uses the fork system call. CVE-2012-3375: The epoll_ctl system call in fs/eventpoll.c in the Linux kernel did not properly handle ELOOP errors in EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (file-descriptor consumption and system crash) via a crafted application that attempts to create a circular epoll dependency. CVE-2012-3400: Heap-based buffer overflow in the udf_load_logicalvol function in fs/udf/super.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted UDF filesystem.

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. Four new speculative execution information leak issues have been identified in Intel CPUs. (bsc#1111331) CVE-2018-12126: Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling (MSBDS) CVE-2018-12127: Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS) CVE-2018-12130: Microarchitectural Load Port Data Samling (MLPDS) CVE-2019-11091: Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM) This kernel update contains software mitigations for these issues, which also utilize CPU microcode updates shipped in parallel. For more information on this set of information leaks, check out https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7023736 The following security bugs were fixed: CVE-2019-9213: The expand_downwards function in mm/mmap.c lacked a check for the mmap minimum address, which made it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task (bnc#1128166). CVE-2013-0216: The Xen netback functionality allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (loop) by triggering ring pointer corruption (bnc#800280). CVE-2013-0231: The pciback_enable_msi function in the PCI backend driver (drivers/xen/pciback/conf_space_capability_msi.c) in Xen allowed guest OS users with PCI device access to cause a denial of service via a large number of kernel log messages. (bnc#801178). CVE-2012-3430: The rds_recvmsg function in net/rds/recv.c did not initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a recvfrom or recvmsg system call on an RDS socket (bnc#773383). CVE-2012-3412: The sfc (aka Solarflare Solarstorm) driver allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (DMA descriptor consumption and network-controller outage) via crafted TCP packets that trigger a small MSS value (bnc#774523). CVE-2013-0160: The kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information about keystroke timing by using the inotify API on the /dev/ptmx device (bnc#797175). CVE-2013-1979: The scm_set_cred function in include/net/scm.h uses incorrect uid and gid values during credentials passing, which allowed local users to gain privileges via a crafted application (bnc#816708). The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 kernel has been updated to Linux kernel 3.0.80 which fixes various bugs and security issues. The following security issues have been fixed : - Timing side channel on attacks were possible on /dev/ptmx that could allow local attackers to predict keypresses like e.g. passwords. This has been fixed again by updating accessed/modified time on the pty devices in resolution of 8 seconds, so that idle time detection can still work. (CVE-2013-0160) - The vcc_recvmsg function in net/atm/common.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain length variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3222) - The ax25_recvmsg function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain data structure, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3223) - The bt_sock_recvmsg function in net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a certain length variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3224) - The rfcomm_sock_recvmsg function in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain length variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3225) - The caif_seqpkt_recvmsg function in net/caif/caif_socket.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain length variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3227) - The irda_recvmsg_dgram function in net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain length variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3228) - The iucv_sock_recvmsg function in net/iucv/af_iucv.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain length variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3229) - The llc_ui_recvmsg function in net/llc/af_llc.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain length variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3231) - The nr_recvmsg function in net/netrom/af_netrom.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain data structure, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3232) - The rose_recvmsg function in net/rose/af_rose.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain data structure, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3234) - net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain data structure and a certain length variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call. (CVE-2013-3235) - The crypto API in the Linux kernel did not initialize certain length variables, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system call, related to the hash_recvmsg function in crypto/algif_hash.c and the skcipher_recvmsg function in crypto/algif_skcipher.c. (CVE-2013-3076) - The scm_set_cred function in include/net/scm.h in the Linux kernel used incorrect uid and gid values during credentials passing, which allowed local users to gain privileges via a crafted application. (CVE-2013-1979) - A kernel information leak via tkill/tgkill was fixed. The following bugs have been fixed : - reiserfs: fix spurious multiple-fill in reiserfs_readdir_dentry. (bnc#822722) - libfc: do not exch_done() on invalid sequence ptr. (bnc#810722) - netfilter: ip6t_LOG: fix logging of packet mark. (bnc#821930) - hyperv: use 3.4 as LIC version string. (bnc#822431) - virtio_net: introduce VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID. (bnc#819655) - xen/netback: do not disconnect frontend when seeing oversize packet. - xen/netfront: reduce gso_max_size to account for max TCP header. - xen/netfront: fix kABI after

  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_11_KERNEL-130426.NASL
    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel has been updated to 3.0.74 fix various security issues and bugs : This update brings some features : - Updated HD-audio drivers for Nvidia/AMD HDMI and Haswell audio (FATE#314311 FATE#313695) - Lustre enablement patches were added (FATE#314679). - SGI UV (Ultraviolet) platform support. (FATE#306952) Security issues fixed in this update : - The hidp_setup_hid function in net/bluetooth/hidp/core.c in the Linux kernel did not properly copy a certain name field, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by setting a long name and making an HIDPCONNADD ioctl call. (CVE-2013-0349) - Buffer overflow in virt/kvm/irq_comm.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and to possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI), irq routing entries, and an incorrect check by the setup_routing_entry function before invoking the kvm_set_irq function. (CVE-2012-2137) - The isofs_export_encode_fh function in fs/isofs/export.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory via a crafted application. (CVE-2012-6549) - The udf_encode_fh function in fs/udf/namei.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory via a crafted application. (CVE-2012-6548) - Timing side channel on attacks were possible on /dev/ptmx that could allow local attackers to predict keypresses like e.g. passwords. This has been fixed by not updating accessed/modified time on the pty devices. Note that this might break pty idle detection, so it might get reverted again. (CVE-2013-0160) - The Xen netback functionality in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (loop) by triggering ring pointer corruption. (CVE-2013-0216) - The pciback_enable_msi function in the PCI backend driver (drivers/xen/pciback/conf_space_capability_msi.c) in Xen for the Linux allowed guest OS users with PCI device access to cause a denial of service via a large number of kernel log messages. (CVE-2013-0231) - The translate_desc function in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux kernel did not properly handle cross-region descriptors, which allowed guest OS users to obtain host OS privileges by leveraging KVM guest OS privileges. (CVE-2013-0311) - Integer overflow in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c in the i915 driver in the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that triggers many relocation copies, and potentially leads to a race condition. (CVE-2013-0913) - The flush_signal_handlers function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel preserved the value of the sa_restorer field across an exec operation, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application containing a sigaction system call. (CVE-2013-0914) - Use-after-free vulnerability in the shmem_remount_fs function in mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or to cause a denial of service (system crash) by remounting a tmpfs filesystem without specifying a required mpol (aka mempolicy) mount option. (CVE-2013-1767) - The log_prefix function in kernel/printk.c in the Linux kernel 3.x did not properly remove a prefix string from a syslog header, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and system crash) by leveraging /dev/kmsg write access and triggering a call_console_drivers function call. (CVE-2013-1772) - The chase_port function in drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via an attempted /dev/ttyUSB read or write operation on a disconnected Edgeport USB serial converter. (CVE-2013-1774) - Race condition in the install_user_keyrings function in security/keys/process_keys.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via crafted keyctl system calls that trigger keyring operations in simultaneous threads. (CVE-2013-1792) - The kvm_set_msr_common function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure a required time_page alignment during an MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME operation, which allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and host OS memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application. (CVE-2013-1796) - Use-after-free vulnerability in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that triggers use of a guest physical address (GPA) in (1) movable or (2) removable memory during an MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME kvm_set_msr_common operation. (CVE-2013-1797) - The ioapic_read_indirect function in virt/kvm/ioapic.c in the Linux kernel did not properly handle a certain combination of invalid IOAPIC_REG_SELECT and IOAPIC_REG_WINDOW operations, which allows guest OS users to obtain sensitive information from host OS memory or cause a denial of service (host OS OOPS) via a crafted application. (CVE-2013-1798) - fs/ext3/super.c in the Linux kernel used incorrect arguments to functions in certain circumstances related to printk input, which allowed local users to conduct format-string attacks and possibly gain privileges via a crafted application. (CVE-2013-1848) - Heap-based buffer overflow in the wdm_in_callback function in drivers/usb/class/cdc-wdm.c in the Linux kernel allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or to possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted cdc-wdm USB device. (CVE-2013-1860) - net/dcb/dcbnl.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize certain structures, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application. (CVE-2013-2634) - The rtnl_fill_ifinfo function in net/core/rtnetlink.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application. (CVE-2013-2635) - The msr_open function in arch/x86/kernel/msr.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass intended capability restrictions by executing a crafted application as root, as demonstrated by msr32.c.

(CVE-2013-0216) - The pciback_enable_msi function in the PCI backend driver (drivers/xen/pciback/conf_space_capability_msi.c) in Xen for the Linux kernel allowed guest OS users with PCI device access to cause a denial of service via a large number of kernel log messages. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third-party information. (CVE-2013-0231) Also the following non-security bugs have been fixed : S/390 : - s390x: tty struct used after free (bnc#809692, LTC#90216). - s390x/kernel: sched_clock() overflow (bnc#799611, LTC#87978). - qeth: set new mac even if old mac is gone (bnc#789012,LTC#86643). - qeth: set new mac even if old mac is gone (2) (bnc#792697,LTC#87138). - qeth: fix deadlock between recovery and bonding driver (bnc#785101,LTC#85905). - dasd: check count address during online setting (bnc#781485,LTC#85346). - hugetlbfs: add missing TLB invalidation (bnc#781485,LTC#85463). - s390/kernel: make user-access pagetable walk code huge page aware (bnc#781485,LTC#85455). XEN : - xen/netback: fix netbk_count_requests(). - xen: properly bound buffer access when parsing cpu/availability. - xen/scsiback/usbback: move cond_resched() invocations to proper place. - xen/pciback: properly clean up after calling pcistub_device_find(). - xen: add further backward-compatibility configure options. - xen/PCI: suppress bogus warning on old hypervisors. - xenbus: fix overflow check in xenbus_dev_write(). - xen/x86: do not corrupt %eip when returning from a signal handler. Other : - kernel: Restrict clearing TIF_SIGPENDING. (bnc#742111) - kernel: recalc_sigpending_tsk fixes. (bnc#742111) - xfs: Do not reclaim new inodes in xfs_sync_inodes(). (bnc#770980) - jbd: Avoid BUG_ON when checkpoint stalls. (bnc#795335) - reiserfs: Fix int overflow while calculating free space. (bnc#795075) - cifs: clarify the meaning of tcpStatus == CifsGood. (bnc#769093) - cifs: do not allow cifs_reconnect to exit with NULL socket pointer. (bnc#769093) - cifs: switch to seq_files. (bnc#776370) - scsi: fix check of PQ and PDT bits for WLUNs. (bnc#765687) - hugetlb: preserve hugetlb pte dirty state. (bnc#790236) - poll: enforce RLIMIT_NOFILE in poll(). (bnc#787272) - proc: fix ->open less usage due to ->proc_fops flip. (bnc#776370) - rpm/kernel-binary.spec.in: Ignore kabi errors if %%ignore_kabi_badness is defined. This is used in the Kernel:* projects in the OBS.
