Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Accessing, Modifying or Executing Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's configuration that allows an attacker to either directly access an executable file, for example through shell access; or in a possible worst case allows an attacker to upload a file and then execute it. Web servers, ftp servers, and message oriented middleware systems which have many integration points are particularly vulnerable, because both the programmers and the administrators must be in synch regarding the interfaces and the correct privileges for each interface.
  • Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files, when the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high. The attack can be directed at a client system, such as causing buffer overrun through loading seemingly benign image files, as in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 where specially crafted JPEG files could cause a buffer overrun once loaded into the browser. Another example targets clients reading pdf files. In this case the attacker simply appends javascript to the end of a legitimate url for a pdf (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/danger-danger-danger/) http://path/to/pdf/file.pdf#whatever_name_you_want=javascript:your_code_here The client assumes that they are reading a pdf, but the attacker has modified the resource and loaded executable javascript into the client's browser process. The attack can also target server processes. The attacker edits the resource or configuration file, for example a web.xml file used to configure security permissions for a J2EE app server, adding role name "public" grants all users with the public role the ability to use the administration functionality. The server trusts its configuration file to be correct, but when they are manipulated, the attacker gains full control.
  • Blue Boxing
    This type of attack against older telephone switches and trunks has been around for decades. A tone is sent by an adversary to impersonate a supervisor signal which has the effect of rerouting or usurping command of the line. While the US infrastructure proper may not contain widespread vulnerabilities to this type of attack, many companies are connected globally through call centers and business process outsourcing. These international systems may be operated in countries which have not upgraded Telco infrastructure and so are vulnerable to Blue boxing. Blue boxing is a result of failure on the part of the system to enforce strong authorization for administrative functions. While the infrastructure is different than standard current applications like web applications, there are historical lessons to be learned to upgrade the access control for administrative functions.
  • Restful Privilege Elevation
    Rest uses standard HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permissions methods, but these are not necessarily correlated generally with back end programs. Strict interpretation of HTTP get methods means that these HTTP Get services should not be used to delete information on the server, but there is no access control mechanism to back up this logic. This means that unless the services are properly ACL'd and the application's service implementation are following these guidelines then an HTTP request can easily execute a delete or update on the server side. The attacker identifies a HTTP Get URL such as http://victimsite/updateOrder, which calls out to a program to update orders on a database or other resource. The URL is not idempotent so the request can be submitted multiple times by the attacker, additionally, the attacker may be able to exploit the URL published as a Get method that actually performs updates (instead of merely retrieving data). This may result in malicious or inadvertent altering of data on the server.
  • Target Programs with Elevated Privileges
    This attack targets programs running with elevated privileges. The attacker would try to leverage a bug in the running program and get arbitrary code to execute with elevated privileges. For instance an attacker would look for programs that write to the system directories or registry keys (such as HKLM, which stores a number of critical Windows environment variables). These programs are typically running with elevated privileges and have usually not been designed with security in mind. Such programs are excellent exploit targets because they yield lots of power when they break. The malicious user try to execute its code at the same level as a privileged system call.

    "The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior
    to 36.0. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
    
      - An issue exists that allows whitelisted Mozilla domains
        to make 'UITour' API calls while UI Tour pages are
        present in background tabs. This allows an attacker, via
        a compromised Mozilla domain, to engage in spoofing and
        clickjacking in any foreground tab. (CVE-2015-0819)
    
      - An issue exists related to sandbox libraries, including
        the Caja Compiler, which allows JavaScript objects to be
        marked as extensible even though the objects were
        initially marked as non-extensible. (CVE-2015-0820)
    
      - An issue exists when opening hyperlinks on a page with
        the mouse and specific keyboard key combinations that
        allows a Chrome privileged URL to be opened without
        context restrictions being preserved. Additionally, the
        issue allows the opening of local files and resources
        from a known location to be opened with local
        privileges, bypassing security protections.
        (CVE-2015-0821)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists related
        to the autocomplete feature that allows an attacker to
        read arbitrary files. (CVE-2015-0822)
    
      - A use-after-free error exists with the OpenType
        Sanitiser (OTS) when expanding macros. (CVE-2015-0823)
    
      - An issue exists in the DrawTarget() function of the
        Cairo graphics library that allows an attacker cause a
        segmentation fault, resulting in a denial of service.
        (CVE-2015-0824)
    
      - A buffer underflow issue exists during audio playback of
        invalid MP3 audio files. (CVE-2015-0825)
    
      - An out-of-bounds read issue exists while restyling and
        reflowing changes of web content with CSS, resulting in
        a denial of service condition or arbitrary code
        execution. (CVE-2015-0826)
    
      - An out-of-bounds read and write issue exists when
        processing invalid SVG graphic files. This allows an
        attacker to disclose sensitive information.
        (CVE-2015-0827)
    
      - A double-free issue exists when sending a zero-length
        XmlHttpRequest (XHR) object due to errors in memory
        allocation when using different memory allocator
        libraries than 'jemalloc'. This allows an attacker to
        crash the application. (CVE-2015-0828)
    
      - A buffer overflow issue exists in the 'libstagefright'
        library when processing invalid MP4 video files,
        resulting in a denial of service condition or arbitrary
        code execution. (CVE-2015-0829)
    
      - An unspecified issue exists that allows an attacker, via
        specially crafted WebGL content, to cause a denial of
        service condition. (CVE-2015-0830)
    
      - A use-after-free issue exists when running specific web
        content with 'IndexedDB' to create an index, resulting
        in a denial of service condition or arbitrary code
        execution. (CVE-2015-0831)
    
      - An issue exists when a period is appended to a hostname
        that results in a bypass of the Public Key Pinning
        Extension for HTTP (HPKP) and HTTP Strict Transport
        Security (HSTS) when certificate pinning is set to
        strict mode. An attacker can exploit this issue to
        perform man-in-the-middle attacks if the attacker has a
        security certificate for a domain with the added period.
        (CVE-2015-0832)
    
      - An issue exists in the Mozilla updater in which DLL
        files in the current working directory or Windows
        temporary directories will be loaded, allowing the
        execution of arbitrary code. Note that hosts are only
        affected if the updater is not run by the Mozilla
        Maintenance Service. (CVE-2015-0833)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to
        the lack of TLS support for connections to TURN and STUN
        servers, resulting in cleartext connections.
        (CVE-2015-0834)
    
      - Multiple unspecified memory safety issues exist within
        the browser engine. (CVE-2015-0835, CVE-2015-0836)");

    descriptionMozillaThunderbird was updated to fix 20 security issues. These security issues were fixed : - CVE-2015-2727: Mozilla Firefox 38.0 and Firefox ESR 38.0 allowed user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary files or execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges via a crafted website that is accessed with unspecified mouse and keyboard actions. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2015-0821 regression (bsc#935979). - CVE-2015-2725: Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0, Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.1, and Thunderbird before 38.1 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (bsc#935979). - CVE-2015-2736: The nsZipArchive::BuildFileList function in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.8 and 38.x before 38.1, and Thunderbird before 38.1 accesses unintended memory locations, which allowed remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted ZIP archive (bsc#935979). - CVE-2015-2724: Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.8 and 38.x before 38.1, and Thunderbird before 38.1 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (bsc#935979). - CVE-2015-2730: Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.19.1, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.8 and 38.x before 38.1, and other products, did not properly perform Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) multiplications, which made it easier for remote attackers to spoof ECDSA signatures via unspecified vectors (bsc#935979). - CVE-2015-2743: PDF.js in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0 and Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.8 and 38.x before 38.1 enables excessive privileges for internal Workers, which might allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging a Same Origin Policy bypass (bsc#935979). - CVE-2015-2740: Buffer overflow in the nsXMLHttpRequest::AppendToResponseText function in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.8 and 38.x before 38.1, and Thunderbird before 38.1 might allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service or have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors (bsc#935979). - CVE-2015-2741: Mozilla Firefox before 39.0, Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.1, and Thunderbird before 38.1 do not enforce key pinning upon encountering an X.509 certificate problem that generates a user dialog, which allowed user-assisted man-in-the-middle attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by triggering a (1) expired certificate or (2) mismatched hostname for a domain with pinning enabled (bsc#935979). - CVE-2015-2728: The IndexedDatabaseManager class in the IndexedDB implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0 and Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.8 and 38.x before 38.1 misinterprets an unspecified IDBDatabase field as a pointer, which allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via unspecified vectors, related to a
