Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- XML Nested Payloads Applications often need to transform data in and out of the XML format by using an XML parser. It may be possible for an attacker to inject data that may have an adverse effect on the XML parser when it is being processed. By nesting XML data and causing this data to be continuously self-referential, an attacker can cause the XML parser to consume more resources while processing, causing excessive memory consumption and CPU utilization. An attacker's goal is to leverage parser failure to his or her advantage. In most cases this type of an attack will result in a denial of service due to an application becoming unstable, freezing, or crash. However it may be possible to cause a crash resulting in arbitrary code execution, leading to a jump from the data plane to the control plane [R.230.1].
- XML Oversized Payloads Applications often need to transform data in and out of the XML format by using an XML parser. It may be possible for an attacker to inject data that may have an adverse effect on the XML parser when it is being processed. By supplying oversized payloads in input vectors that will be processed by the XML parser, an attacker can cause the XML parser to consume more resources while processing, causing excessive memory consumption and CPU utilization, and potentially cause execution of arbitrary code. An attacker's goal is to leverage parser failure to his or her advantage. In many cases this type of an attack will result in a denial of service due to an application becoming unstable, freezing, or crash. However it is possible to cause a crash resulting in arbitrary code execution, leading to a jump from the data plane to the control plane [R.231.1].
- XML Client-Side Attack Client applications such as web browsers that process HTML data often need to transform data in and out of the XML format by using an XML parser. It may be possible for an attacker to inject data that may have an adverse effect on the XML parser when it is being processed. These adverse effects may include the parser crashing, consuming too much of a resource, executing too slowly, executing code supplied by an attacker, allowing usage of unintended system functionality, etc. An attacker's goal is to leverage parser failure to his or her advantage. In some cases it may be possible to jump from the data plane to the control plane via bad data being passed to an XML parser. [R.484.1]
- XML Parser Attack Applications often need to transform data in and out of the XML format by using an XML parser. It may be possible for an attacker to inject data that may have an adverse effect on the XML parser when it is being processed. These adverse effects may include the parser crashing, consuming too much of a resource, executing too slowly, executing code supplied by an attacker, allowing usage of unintended system functionality, etc. An attacker's goal is to leverage parser failure to his or her advantage. In some cases it may be possible to jump from the data plane to the control plane via bad data being passed to an XML parser. [R.99.1]

NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2015-0708.NASL description Updated qpid packages that fix multiple security issues and one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise MRG 3 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate 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. Red Hat Enterprise MRG is a next-generation IT infrastructure incorporating Messaging, Real Time, and Grid functionality. It offers increased performance, reliability, interoperability, and faster computing for enterprise customers. MRG Messaging is a high-speed reliable messaging distribution for Linux based on AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol), an open protocol standard for enterprise messaging that is designed to make mission critical messaging widely available as a standard service, and to make enterprise messaging interoperable across platforms, programming languages, and vendors. MRG Messaging includes AMQP messaging broker; AMQP client libraries for C++, Java JMS, and Python; as well as persistence libraries and management tools. It was discovered that the Qpid daemon (qpidd) did not restrict access to anonymous users when the ANONYMOUS mechanism was disallowed. (CVE-2015-0223) A flaw was found in the way the Qpid daemon (qpidd) processed certain protocol sequences. An unauthenticated attacker able to send a specially crafted protocol sequence set that could use this flaw to crash qpidd. (CVE-2015-0203, CVE-2015-0224) Red Hat would like to thank the Apache Software Foundation for reporting the CVE-2015-0203 issue. Upstream acknowledges G.

Geshev from MWR Labs as the original reporter. This update also fixes the following bugs : * Previously, the neutron messaging client rewrote (by method of 'monkey-patching') the python selector module to support eventlet threading. The rewritten client did not update select.poll() during this process, which is used by qpid-python to manage I/O. This resulted in poll() deadlocks and neutron server hangs. The fix introduces updates to the python-qpid library that avoid calling poll() if eventlet threading is detected. Instead, the eventlet-aware select() is called, which prevents deadlocks from occurring and corrects the originally reported issue. (BZ#1175872) * It was discovered that the QPID Broker aborted with an uncaught UnknownExchangeTypeException when the client attempted to request an unsupported exchange type. The code for the Exchange Registry and Node Policy has been improved to prevent this issue from happening again.

(CVE-2015-0223) Multiple flaws were found in the way the Qpid daemon (qpidd) processed certain protocol sequences. An unauthenticated attacker able to send a specially crafted protocol sequence set could use these flaws to crash qpidd. (CVE-2015-0203, CVE-2015-0224) Red Hat would like to thank the Apache Software Foundation for reporting the CVE-2015-0203 issue. Upstream acknowledges G. Geshev from MWR Labs as the original reporter. This update also fixes the following bug : * Prior to this update, because message purging was performed on a timer thread, large purge events could have caused all other timer tasks to be delayed. Because heartbeats were also driven by a timer on this thread, this could have resulted in clients timing out because they were not receiving heartbeats. The fix moves expired message purging from the timer thread to a worker thread, which allow long-running expired message purges to not affect timer tasks such as the heartbeat timer. (BZ#1142833) All users of Red Hat Enterprise MRG Messaging 2.5 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 81728 published 2015-03-10 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2015-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/81728 title RHEL 5 : MRG (RHSA-2015:0662)
