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.

(CVE-2013-1796) A potential use-after-free flaw was found in the way KVM handled guest time updates when the GPA (guest physical address) the guest registered by writing to the MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME machine state register (MSR) fell into a movable or removable memory region of the hosting user-space process (by default, QEMU-KVM) on the host. If that memory region is deregistered from KVM using KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION and the allocated virtual memory reused, a privileged guest user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the host. (CVE-2013-1797) A flaw was found in the way KVM emulated IOAPIC (I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller). A missing validation check in the ioapic_read_indirect() function could allow a privileged guest user to crash the host, or read a substantial portion of host kernel memory. (CVE-2013-1798) Red Hat would like to thank Andrew Honig of Google for reporting all of these issues. All users of kvm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. Note that the procedure in the Solution section must be performed before this update will take effect.

    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-2013-0268) Bugs fixed in this update : BTRFS : - btrfs: do not try to notify udev about missing devices. - btrfs: add cancellation points to defrag. - btrfs: define BTRFS_MAGIC as a u64 value. - btrfs: make sure NODATACOW also gets NODATASUM set. - btrfs: enforce min_bytes parameter during extent allocation. - btrfs: build up error handling for merge_reloc_roots. - btrfs: free all recorded tree blocks on error . - btrfs: do not BUG_ON in prepare_to_reloc . - btrfs: do not BUG_ON on aborted situation . - btrfs: handle a bogus chunk tree nicely . - btrfs: do not drop path when printing out tree errors in scrub . - btrfs: make subvol creation/deletion killable in the early stages. - btrfs: abort unlink trans in missed error case. - btrfs: fix reada debug code compilation. - btrfs: return error when we specify wrong start to defrag. - btrfs: do not force pages under writeback to finish when aborting.

    titleOracle Linux 5 / 6 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2013-2534)
  • NASL familyRed Hat Local Security Checks
    NASL idREDHAT-RHSA-2013-0727.NASL
    descriptionUpdated kvm packages that fix three security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. 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. KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. KVM is a Linux kernel module built for the standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel. A flaw was found in the way KVM handled guest time updates when the buffer the guest registered by writing to the MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME machine state register (MSR) crossed a page boundary. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the host or, potentially, escalate their privileges, allowing them to execute arbitrary code at the host kernel level. (CVE-2013-1796) A potential use-after-free flaw was found in the way KVM handled guest time updates when the GPA (guest physical address) the guest registered by writing to the MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME machine state register (MSR) fell into a movable or removable memory region of the hosting user-space process (by default, QEMU-KVM) on the host. If that memory region is deregistered from KVM using KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION and the allocated virtual memory reused, a privileged guest user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the host. (CVE-2013-1797) A flaw was found in the way KVM emulated IOAPIC (I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller). A missing validation check in the ioapic_read_indirect() function could allow a privileged guest user to crash the host, or read a substantial portion of host kernel memory. (CVE-2013-1798) Red Hat would like to thank Andrew Honig of Google for reporting all of these issues. All users of kvm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. Note that the procedure in the Solution section must be performed before this update will take effect.

  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_SU-2014-0287-1.NASL
    descriptionThis is a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 LTSS roll up update to fix a lot of security issues and non-security bugs. The following security bugs have been fixed : CVE-2011-3593: A certain Red Hat patch to the vlan_hwaccel_do_receive function in net/8021q/vlan_core.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.32 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via priority-tagged VLAN frames. (bnc#735347) CVE-2012-1601: The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.3.6 allows host OS users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash) by making a KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP ioctl call after a virtual CPU already exists. (bnc#754898) CVE-2012-2137: Buffer overflow in virt/kvm/irq_comm.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.2.24 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and 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. (bnc#767612) CVE-2012-2372: The rds_ib_xmit function in net/rds/ib_send.c in the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation in the Linux kernel 3.7.4 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON and kernel panic) by establishing an RDS connection with the source IP address equal to the IPoIB interfaces own IP address, as demonstrated by rds-ping. (bnc#767610) CVE-2012-2745: The copy_creds function in kernel/cred.c in the Linux kernel before 3.3.2 provides an invalid replacement session keyring to a child process, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a crafted application that uses the fork system call. (bnc#770695) CVE-2012-3375: The epoll_ctl system call in fs/eventpoll.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.24 does not properly handle ELOOP errors in EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations, which allows 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. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-1083. (bnc#769896) CVE-2012-3412: The sfc (aka Solarflare Solarstorm) driver in the Linux kernel before 3.2.30 allows 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-2012-3430: The rds_recvmsg function in net/rds/recv.c in the Linux kernel before 3.0.44 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a (1) recvfrom or (2) recvmsg system call on an RDS socket. (bnc#773383) CVE-2012-3511: Multiple race conditions in the madvise_remove function in mm/madvise.c in the Linux kernel before 3.4.5 allow local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) via vectors involving a (1) munmap or (2) close system call. (bnc#776885) CVE-2012-4444: The ip6_frag_queue function in net/ipv6/reassembly.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 allows remote attackers to bypass intended network restrictions via overlapping IPv6 fragments. (bnc#789831) CVE-2012-4530: The load_script function in fs/binfmt_script.c in the Linux kernel before 3.7.2 does not properly handle recursion, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application.

descriptionBUGTRAQ ID: 58604 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2013-1798 Linux Kernel是Linux操作系统的内核。 如果客户端指定了带有无效值的IOAPIC_REG_SELECT,然后读取IOAPIC_REG_WINDOW,KVM就不会正确验证该请求。ioapic_read_indirect包含了ASSERT(redir_index < IOAPIC_NUM_PINS),但ASSERT在非调试build中不起作用。在最近版本中,读取无效内存会造成内核崩溃,在较早版本内,会允许客户端读取较大范围的主机内存。攻击者可利用此漏洞触发内核崩溃,拒绝服务合法用户。 0 Linux kernel 3.x Linux kernel 2.6.x 厂商补丁: Linux ----- 目前厂商已经发布了升级补丁以修复这个安全问题,请到厂商的主页下载: http://www.kernel.org/
