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.

    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 before 3.8.4 does not initialize a certain structure member,
    which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel
    stack memory via a crafted application. (CVE-2013-2635)
    
    fs/ext3/super.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.4 uses incorrect
    arguments to functions in certain circumstances related to printk
    input, which allows local users to conduct format-string attacks and
    possibly gain privileges via a crafted application. (CVE-2013-1848)
    
    The flush_signal_handlers function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux
    kernel before 3.8.4 preserves 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)
    
    Heap-based buffer overflow in the wdm_in_callback function in
    drivers/usb/class/cdc-wdm.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.4 allows
    physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system
    crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted cdc-wdm USB
    device. (CVE-2013-1860)
    
    Race condition in the install_user_keyrings function in
    security/keys/process_keys.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.3 allows
    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 report API in the crypto user configuration API in the Linux
    kernel through 3.8.2 uses an incorrect C library function for copying
    strings, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from
    kernel stack memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
    (CVE-2013-2546)
    
    The crypto_report_one function in crypto/crypto_user.c in the report
    API in the crypto user configuration API in the Linux kernel through
    3.8.2 does not initialize certain structure members, which allows
    local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by
    leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. (CVE-2013-2547)
    
    The crypto_report_one function in crypto/crypto_user.c in the report
    API in the crypto user configuration API in the Linux kernel through
    3.8.2 uses an incorrect length value during a copy operation, which
    allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory
    by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. (CVE-2013-2548)
    
    The translate_desc function in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux
    kernel before 3.7 does not properly handle cross-region descriptors,
    which allows guest OS users to obtain host OS privileges by leveraging
    KVM guest OS privileges. (CVE-2013-0311)
    
    Array index error in the __sock_diag_rcv_msg function in
    net/core/sock_diag.c in the Linux kernel before 3.7.10 allows local
    users to gain privileges via a large family value in a Netlink
    message. (CVE-2013-1763)
    
    The __skb_recv_datagram function in net/core/datagram.c in the Linux
    kernel before 3.8 does not properly handle the MSG_PEEK flag with
    zero-length data, which allows local users to cause a denial of
    service (infinite loop and system hang) via a crafted application.
    (CVE-2013-0290)
    
    Use-after-free vulnerability in the shmem_remount_fs function in
    mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel before 3.7.10 allows local users to
    gain privileges or 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 xen_iret function in arch/x86/xen/xen-asm_32.S in the Linux kernel
    before 3.7.9 on 32-bit Xen paravirt_ops platforms does not properly
    handle an invalid value in the DS segment register, which allows guest
    OS users to gain guest OS privileges via a crafted application.
    (CVE-2013-0228)
    
    Memory leak in drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c in the Xen netback
    functionality in the Linux kernel before 3.7.8 allows guest OS users
    to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering
    certain error conditions. (CVE-2013-0217)
    
    The Xen netback functionality in the Linux kernel before 3.7.8 allows
    guest OS users to cause a denial of service (loop) by triggering ring
    pointer corruption. (CVE-2013-0216)
    
    The __tun_chr_ioctl function in drivers/net/tun.c in the Linux kernel
    before 3.6 does not initialize a certain structure, which allows local
    users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a
    crafted application. (CVE-2012-6547)
