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.

    Pidgin is an instant messaging program which can log in to multiple
    accounts on multiple instant messaging networks simultaneously.
    
    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
    pidgin (2.10.11). (BZ#1369526)
    
    Security Fix(es) :
    
    * A denial of service flaw was found in the way Pidgin's Mxit plug-in
    handled emoticons. A malicious remote server or a man-in-the-middle
    attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash Pidgin by sending a
    specially crafted emoticon. (CVE-2014-3695)
    
    * A denial of service flaw was found in the way Pidgin parsed
    Groupwise server messages. A malicious remote server or a
    man-in-the-middle attacker could potentially use this flaw to cause
    Pidgin to consume an excessive amount of memory, possibly leading to a
    crash, by sending a specially crafted message. (CVE-2014-3696)
    
    * An information disclosure flaw was discovered in the way Pidgin
    parsed XMPP messages. A malicious remote server or a man-in-the-middle
    attacker could potentially use this flaw to disclose a portion of
    memory belonging to the Pidgin process by sending a specially crafted
    XMPP message. (CVE-2014-3698)
    
    * An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the way Pidgin processed
    XML content. A malicious remote server could potentially use this flaw
    to crash Pidgin or execute arbitrary code in the context of the pidgin
    process. (CVE-2017-2640)
    
    * It was found that Pidgin's SSL/TLS plug-ins had a flaw in the
    certificate validation functionality. An attacker could use this flaw
    to create a fake certificate, that Pidgin would trust, which could be
    used to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks against Pidgin.
    (CVE-2014-3694)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank the Pidgin project for reporting these
    issues. Upstream acknowledges Yves Younan (Cisco Talos) and Richard
    Johnson (Cisco Talos) as the original reporters of CVE-2014-3695 and

        Mxit plug-in handled emoticons. A malicious remote
        server or a man-in-the-middle attacker could
        potentially use this flaw to crash Pidgin by sending a
        specially crafted emoticon. (CVE-2014-3695)
    
      - A denial of service flaw was found in the way Pidgin
        parsed Groupwise server messages. A malicious remote
        server or a man-in-the-middle attacker could
        potentially use this flaw to cause Pidgin to consume an
        excessive amount of memory, possibly leading to a
        crash, by sending a specially crafted message.
        (CVE-2014-3696)
    
      - An information disclosure flaw was discovered in the
        way Pidgin parsed XMPP messages. A malicious remote
        server or a man-in-the-middle attacker could
        potentially use this flaw to disclose a portion of
        memory belonging to the Pidgin process by sending a
        specially crafted XMPP message. (CVE-2014-3698)
    
      - An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the way Pidgin
        processed XML content. A malicious remote server could
        potentially use this flaw to crash Pidgin or execute
        arbitrary code in the context of the pidgin process.
        (CVE-2017-2640)
    
      - It was found that Pidgin's SSL/TLS plug-ins had a flaw
        in the certificate validation functionality. An
        attacker could use this flaw to create a fake
        certificate, that Pidgin would trust, which could be
        used to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks against
        Pidgin. (CVE-2014-3694)

    Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
    impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
    score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
    vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
    
    Pidgin is an instant messaging program which can log in to multiple
    accounts on multiple instant messaging networks simultaneously.
    
    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
    pidgin (2.10.11). (BZ#1369526)
    
    Security Fix(es) :
    
    * A denial of service flaw was found in the way Pidgin's Mxit plug-in
    handled emoticons. A malicious remote server or a man-in-the-middle
    attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash Pidgin by sending a
    specially crafted emoticon. (CVE-2014-3695)
    
    * A denial of service flaw was found in the way Pidgin parsed
    Groupwise server messages. A malicious remote server or a
    man-in-the-middle attacker could potentially use this flaw to cause
    Pidgin to consume an excessive amount of memory, possibly leading to a
    crash, by sending a specially crafted message. (CVE-2014-3696)
    
    * An information disclosure flaw was discovered in the way Pidgin
    parsed XMPP messages. A malicious remote server or a man-in-the-middle
    attacker could potentially use this flaw to disclose a portion of
    memory belonging to the Pidgin process by sending a specially crafted
    XMPP message. (CVE-2014-3698)
    
    * An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the way Pidgin processed
    XML content. A malicious remote server could potentially use this flaw
    to crash Pidgin or execute arbitrary code in the context of the pidgin
    process. (CVE-2017-2640)
    
    * It was found that Pidgin's SSL/TLS plug-ins had a flaw in the
    certificate validation functionality. An attacker could use this flaw
    to create a fake certificate, that Pidgin would trust, which could be
    used to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks against Pidgin.
    (CVE-2014-3694)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank the Pidgin project for reporting these
    issues. Upstream acknowledges Yves Younan (Cisco Talos) and Richard
    Johnson (Cisco Talos) as the original reporters of CVE-2014-3695 and
    CVE-2014-3696; Thijs Alkemade and Paul Aurich as the original
    reporters of CVE-2014-3698; and Jacob Appelbaum and Moxie Marlinspike
    as the original reporters of CVE-2014-3694.
