Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Relative Path Traversal
    An attacker exploits a weakness in input validation on the target by supplying a specially constructed path utilizing dot and slash characters for the purpose of obtaining access to arbitrary files or resources. An attacker modifies a known path on the target in order to reach material that is not available through intended channels. These attacks normally involve adding additional path separators (/ or \) and/or dots (.), or encodings thereof, in various combinations in order to reach parent directories or entirely separate trees of the target's directory structure.
  • Directory Traversal
    An attacker with access to file system resources, either directly or via application logic, will use various file path specification or navigation mechanisms such as ".." in path strings and absolute paths to extend their range of access to inappropriate areas of the file system. The attacker attempts to either explore the file system for recon purposes or access directories and files that are intended to be restricted from their access. Exploring the file system can be achieved through constructing paths presented to directory listing programs, such as "ls" and 'dir', or through specially crafted programs that attempt to explore the file system. The attacker engaging in this type of activity is searching for information that can be used later in a more exploitive attack. Access to restricted directories or files can be achieved through modification of path references utilized by system applications.
  • File System Function Injection, Content Based
    An attack of this type exploits the host's trust in executing remote content including binary files. The files are poisoned with a malicious payload (targeting the file systems accessible by the target software) by the attacker and may be passed through standard channels such as via email, and standard web content like PDF and multimedia files. The attacker exploits known vulnerabilities or handling routines in the target processes. Vulnerabilities of this type have been found in a wide variety of commercial applications from Microsoft Office to Adobe Acrobat and Apple Safari web browser. When the attacker knows the standard handling routines and can identify vulnerabilities and entry points they can be exploited by otherwise seemingly normal content. Once the attack is executed, the attackers' program can access relative directories such as C:\Program Files or other standard system directories to launch further attacks. In a worst case scenario, these programs are combined with other propagation logic and work as a virus.
  • Using Slashes and URL Encoding Combined to Bypass Validation Logic
    This attack targets the encoding of the URL combined with the encoding of the slash characters. An attacker can take advantage of the multiple way of encoding an URL and abuse the interpretation of the URL. An URL may contain special character that need special syntax handling in order to be interpreted. Special characters are represented using a percentage character followed by two digits representing the octet code of the original character (%HEX-CODE). For instance US-ASCII space character would be represented with %20. This is often referred as escaped ending or percent-encoding. Since the server decodes the URL from the requests, it may restrict the access to some URL paths by validating and filtering out the URL requests it received. An attacker will try to craft an URL with a sequence of special characters which once interpreted by the server will be equivalent to a forbidden URL. It can be difficult to protect against this attack since the URL can contain other format of encoding such as UTF-8 encoding, Unicode-encoding, etc.
  • Manipulating Input to File System Calls
    An attacker manipulates inputs to the target software which the target software passes to file system calls in the OS. The goal is to gain access to, and perhaps modify, areas of the file system that the target software did not intend to be accessible.

"Updated docker packages that fix two security issues, several bugs,
and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7 Extras.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Low 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.

Docker is a service providing container management on Linux.

It was found that a malicious container image could overwrite
arbitrary portions of the host file system by including absolute
symlinks, potentially leading to privilege escalation. (CVE-2014-9356)

A flaw was found in the way the Docker service unpacked images or
builds after a 'docker pull'. An attacker could use this flaw to
provide a malicious image or build that, when unpacked, would escalate
their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-9357)

Red Hat would like to thank Docker Inc. for reporting these issues.

The docker-python subpackage provides the new Atomic tool. The goal of
Atomic is to provide a high level, coherent entry point for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Atomic Host. Atomic makes it easier to interact with
special kinds of containers, such as super-privileged debugging tools.
Comprehensive information and documentation is available in the atomic
manual pages.

The docker packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.4.1,
which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the
previous version, most notably an experimental overlayfs storage
driver. (BZ#1174351)

Bug fixes :

* The JSON configuration files for containers and images were
inconsistent. As a consequence, when these files were parsed by the
'docker inspect' command, the output was unnecessarily complex. This
update improves the key naming schema in the configuration files and
the output from 'docker inspect' is now uniform. (BZ#1092773)

* The /run directory had an incorrect SELinux label. As a consequence,
containers could not access /run. This update corrects the SELinux
label and containers now have access to /run. (BZ#1100009)

* The Docker service contained an incorrect path for the secrets
directory. As a consequence, executing 'docker run' failed to create
containers. This update fixes the default path to the secrets
directory and 'docker run' now executes successfully. (BZ#1102568)

* It was not possible to specify a default repository in the
configuration file in cases where all docker.io files are
inaccessible. As a consequence, running docker commands failed because
they could not contact the default repositories. Now, it is possible
to specify a local Docker repository, and commands no longer fail
because they are able to connect to a local private repository.
(BZ#1106430)

* When executing the 'docker attach' command on a container which was
in the process of shutting down, the process did not fail, but became
unresponsive. This bug has been fixed, and running 'docker attach' on
a container which is shutting down causes the attach process to fail
with an informative error message that it is not possible to attach to
a stopped container. (BZ# 1113608)

* The 'docker run' sub-command incorrectly returned non-zero exit
codes, when they all should have been zero. As a consequence, it was
not possible to differentiate between the exit codes of the docker
command line and exit codes of contained processes, which in turn made
automated control of 'docker run' impossible. This update fixes the
inconsistencies within the exit codes of 'docker run'. Additionally,
this update also fixes inconsistencies of other docker sub-commands
and improves the language in the error and warning messages.
(BZ#1162807)

* Adding a new registry with the '--registry-prepend' option did not
follow the correct order to query and download an image. As a
consequence, it did not query the prepended new registry first, but
rather started with querying docker.io. The '--registry-prepend'
option has been renamed to '--registry-add' and its behavior has been
changed to query the registries added in the given order, with
docker.io queried last. (BZ#1186153)

All docker users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which correct these issues and add these enhancements."

It has been discovered that the introduction of chroot for archive
extraction in Docker 1.3.2 had introduced a privilege escalation
vulnerability. Malicious images or builds from malicious Dockerfiles
could escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code as a root user on
the Docker host by providing a malicious 'xz' binary. (CVE-2014-9357)

It has been discovered that Docker does not sufficiently validate
Image IDs as provided either via 'docker load' or through registry
communications. This allows for path traversal attacks, causing graph
corruption and manipulation by malicious images, as well as repository
spoofing attacks. (CVE-2014-9358)"
