Summary

Buffer overflow in HP Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM) before 7.5.0 allows remote authenticated users to modify data or cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • 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.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    "The version of HP Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM) installed
    on the remote Windows host is prior to 7.5.0. It is, therefore,
    affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
    
      - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists when the SSLv3
        option isn't enabled and an SSLv3 ClientHello is
        received. This allows a remote attacker, using an
        unexpected handshake, to crash the daemon, resulting in
        a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3569)
    
      - The BIGNUM squaring (BN_sqr) implementation does not
        properly calculate the square of a BIGNUM value. This
        allows remote attackers to defeat cryptographic
        protection mechanisms. (CVE-2014-3570)
    
      - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the
        dtls1_get_record() function when handling DTLS messages.
        A remote attacker, using a specially crafted DTLS
        message, can cause a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3571)
    
      - A flaw exists with ECDH handshakes when using an ECDSA
        certificate without a ServerKeyExchange message. This
        allows a remote attacker to trigger a loss of forward
        secrecy from the ciphersuite. (CVE-2014-3572)
    
      - A flaw exists when accepting non-DER variations of
        certificate signature algorithms and signature encodings
        due to a lack of enforcement of matches between signed
        and unsigned portions. A remote attacker, by including
        crafted data within a certificate's unsigned portion,
        can bypass fingerprint-based certificate-blacklist
        protection mechanisms. (CVE-2014-8275)
    
      - A security feature bypass vulnerability, known as FREAK
        (Factoring attack on RSA-EXPORT Keys), exists due to the
        support of weak EXPORT_RSA cipher suites with keys less
        than or equal to 512 bits. A man-in-the-middle attacker
        may be able to downgrade the SSL/TLS connection to use
        EXPORT_RSA cipher suites which can be factored in a
        short amount of time, allowing the attacker to intercept
        and decrypt the traffic. (CVE-2015-0204)
    
      - A flaw exists when accepting DH certificates for client
        authentication without the CertificateVerify message.
        This allows a remote attacker to authenticate to the
        service without a private key. (CVE-2015-0205)
    
      - A memory leak occurs in dtls1_buffer_record() when
        handling a saturation of DTLS records containing the
        same number sequence but for the next epoch. This allows
        a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
        (CVE-2015-0206)
    
      - An unspecified buffer overflow condition exists in VCRM
        due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A
        remote, authenticated attacker can exploit this to cause
        a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
        (CVE-2015-5409)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists in VCRM that allows a remote,
        authenticated attacker to modify values without proper
        authorization, gain unspecified access, cause a denial of
        service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5410)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists in VCRM that allows a remote,
        authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive
        information. (CVE-2015-5411, CVE-2015-5413)
    
      - A flaw exists in VCRM when handling certain sensitive
        actions due to HTTP requests not requiring multiple
        steps, explicit confirmation, or a unique token. A
        remote, authenticated attacker can exploit this to
        conduct a cross-site request forgery attack via a
        specially crafted link. (CVE-2015-5412)");
