Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

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 following vulnerabilities :

  - libarchive version commit
    5a98dcf8a86364b3c2c469c85b93647dfb139961 onwards
    (version v2.8.0 onwards) contains a CWE-835: Loop with
    Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
    vulnerability in ISO9660 parser,
    archive_read_support_format_iso9660.c,
    read_CE()/parse_rockridge() that can result in DoS by
    infinite loop. This attack appears to be exploitable
    via the victim opening a specially crafted ISO9660
    file.(CVE-2019-1000020)

  - libarchive version commit
    bf9aec176c6748f0ee7a678c5f9f9555b9a757c1 onwards
    (release v3.0.2 onwards) contains a CWE-125:
    Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in 7zip decompression,
    archive_read_support_format_7zip.c, header_bytes() that
    can result in a crash (denial of service). This attack
    appears to be exploitable via the victim opening a
    specially crafted 7zip file.(CVE-2019-1000019)

  - The archive_string_append function in archive_string.c
    in libarchive before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted cab
    files, related to 'overlapping memcpy.'(CVE-2015-8918)

  - read_header in archive_read_support_format_rar.c in
    libarchive 3.3.2 suffers from an off-by-one error for
    UTF-16 names in RAR archives, leading to an
    out-of-bounds read in
    archive_read_format_rar_read_header.(CVE-2017-14502)

  - An error in the lha_read_file_header_1() function
    (archive_read_support_format_lha.c) in libarchive 3.2.2
    allows remote attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds
    read memory access and subsequently cause a crash via a
    specially crafted archive.(CVE-2017-5601)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the safe_fprintf
    function in tar/util.c in libarchive 3.2.1 allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a
    crafted non-printable multibyte character in a
    filename.(CVE-2016-8687)

  - The read_Header function in
    archive_read_support_format_7zip.c in libarchive 3.2.1
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (out-of-bounds read) via multiple EmptyStream
    attributes in a header in a 7zip
    archive.(CVE-2016-8689)

  - libarchive 3.3.2 suffers from an out-of-bounds read
    within lha_read_data_none() in
    archive_read_support_format_lha.c when extracting a
    specially crafted lha archive, related to
    lha_crc16.(CVE-2017-14503)

  - An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in parse_file_info in
    archive_read_support_format_iso9660.c in libarchive
    3.3.2 when extracting a specially crafted iso9660 iso
    file, related to
    archive_read_format_iso9660_read_header.(CVE-2017-14501
    )

  - libarchive 3.3.2 allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (xml_data heap-based buffer over-read
    and application crash) via a crafted xar archive,
    related to the mishandling of empty strings in the
    atol8 function in
    archive_read_support_format_xar.c.(CVE-2017-14166)

  - The mtree bidder in libarchive 3.2.1 does not keep
    track of line sizes when extending the read-ahead,
    which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service (crash) via a crafted file, which triggers an
    invalid read in the (1) detect_form or (2) bid_entry
    function in
    libarchive/archive_read_support_format_mtree.c.(CVE-201
    6-8688)

  - The archive_read_format_cab_read_header function in
    archive_read_support_format_cab.c in libarchive 3.2.2
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via
    a crafted file.(CVE-2016-10350)

  - The archive_le32dec function in archive_endian.h in
    libarchive 3.2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and
    application crash) via a crafted file.(CVE-2016-10349)

  - The archive_wstring_append_from_mbs function in
    archive_string.c in libarchive 3.2.2 allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference and application crash) via a crafted
    archive file.(CVE-2016-10209)

  - Integer overflow in the archive_read_format_tar_skip
    function in archive_read_support_format_tar.c in
    libarchive before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted tar
    file.(CVE-2015-8933)

  - bsdcpio in libarchive before 3.2.0 allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read
    and crash) via crafted cpio file.(CVE-2015-8915)

  - Absolute path traversal vulnerability in bsdcpio in
    libarchive 3.1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to
    write to arbitrary files via a full pathname in an
    archive.(CVE-2015-2304)

  - archive_read_format_rar_read_data in
    archive_read_support_format_rar.c in libarchive before
    3.4.0 has a use-after-free in a certain ARCHIVE_FAILED
    situation, related to
    Ppmd7_DecodeSymbol.(CVE-2019-18408)
