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 remote IBM Storwize device is running a version that is 1.3.x prior to 1.4.3.4 or 1.5.x prior to 1.5.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the bundled version of Apache HTTP Server. A remote attacker can exploit this, via partial HTTP requests, to cause a daemon outage, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2007-6750) - An HTTP request smuggling vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the bundled version of Apache Tomcat; when an HTTP connector or AJP connector is used, Tomcat fails to properly handle certain inconsistent HTTP request headers.

"The remote IBM Storwize device is running a version that is 1.3.x
prior to 1.4.3.4 or 1.5.x prior to 1.5.0.2. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a flaw
    in the bundled version of Apache HTTP Server. A remote
    attacker can exploit this, via partial HTTP requests,
    to cause a daemon outage, resulting in a denial of
    service condition. (CVE-2007-6750)

  - An HTTP request smuggling vulnerability exists due to a
    flaw in the bundled version of Apache Tomcat; when an
    HTTP connector or AJP connector is used, Tomcat fails to
    properly handle certain inconsistent HTTP request
    headers. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw, via
    multiple Content-Length headers or a Content-Length
    header and a 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' header, to
    smuggle an HTTP request in one or more Content-Length
    headers. (CVE-2013-4286)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the bundled
    version of Apache Tomcat due to improper processing of
    chunked transfer coding with a large amount of chunked
    data or whitespace characters in an HTTP header value
    within a trailer field. An unauthenticated, remote
    attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service
    condition. (CVE-2013-4322)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a flaw
    in the bundled version of Apache Tomcat; an integer
    overflow condition exists in the parseChunkHeader()
    function in ChunkedInputFilter.java. A remote attacker
    can exploit this, via a malformed chunk size that is
    part of a chunked request, to cause excessive
    consumption of resources, resulting in a denial of
    service condition. (CVE-2014-0075)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to a
    flaw in the bundled version of Apache Struts. A remote
    attacker can manipulate the ClassLoader via the class
    parameter, resulting in the execution of arbitrary Java
    code. (CVE-2014-0094)

  - An XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerability
    exists due to a flaw in the bundled version of Apache
    Tomcat; an incorrectly configured XML parser accepts
    XML external entities from an untrusted source via XSLT.
    A remote attacker can exploit this, by sending specially
    crafted XML data, to gain access to arbitrary files.
    (CVE-2014-0096)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in the bundled
    version of Apache Tomcat. A remote attacker, via a
    crafted Content-Length HTTP header, can conduct HTTP
    request smuggling attacks. (CVE-2014-0099)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a
    flaw in the bundled version of Apache Tomcat. Tomcat
    fails to properly constrain the class loader that
    accesses the XML parser used with an XSLT stylesheet. A
    remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted web
    application that provides an XML external entity
    declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, to
    read arbitrary files. (CVE-2014-0119)

  - A flaw exists in a bundled version of Samba due to a
    flaw in the vfswrap_fsctl() function that is triggered
    when responding to FSCTL_GET_SHADOW_COPY_DATA or
    FSCTL_SRV_ENUMERATE_SNAPSHOTS client requests. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via
    a specially crafted request, to disclose sensitive
    information from process memory. (CVE-2014-0178)

  - Multiple flaws exist in the bundled version of Mozilla
    Firefox that allow a remote attacker to execute
    arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-1555, CVE-2014-1556,
    CVE-2014-1557)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to
    the chkauth password being saved in plaintext in the
    audit log. A local attacker can exploit this to gain
    administrator access. (CVE-2014-3077)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a flaw
    in the bundled version of Samba. An authenticated,
    remote attacker can exploit this, via an attempt to read
    a Unicode pathname without specifying the use of
    Unicode, to cause an application crash. (CVE-2014-3493)
  
  - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to an
    unspecified flaw. A remote attacker can exploit this
    flaw to reset the administrator password to its default
    value via a direct request to the administrative IP
    address. Note that this vulnerability only affects the
    1.4.x release levels. (CVE-2014-4811)");
