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.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

    "Security Fix(es) :
    
      - A flaw was found in the way libarchive handled hardlink
        archive entries of non-zero size. Combined with flaws in
        libarchive's file system sandboxing, this issue could
        cause an application using libarchive to overwrite
        arbitrary files with arbitrary data from the archive.
        (CVE-2016-5418)
    
      - Multiple out-of-bounds write flaws were found in
        libarchive. Specially crafted ZIP, 7ZIP, or RAR files
        could cause a heap overflow, potentially allowing code
        execution in the context of the application using
        libarchive. (CVE-2016-1541, CVE-2016-4300,
        CVE-2016-4302)
    
      - Multiple out-of-bounds read flaws were found in
        libarchive. Specially crafted LZA/LZH, AR, MTREE, ZIP,
        TAR, or RAR files could cause the application to read
        data out of bounds, potentially disclosing a small
        amount of application memory, or causing an application
        crash. (CVE-2015-8919, CVE-2015-8920, CVE-2015-8921,
        CVE-2015-8923, CVE-2015-8924, CVE-2015-8925,
        CVE-2015-8926, CVE-2015-8928, CVE-2015-8934)
    
      - Multiple NULL pointer dereference flaws were found in
        libarchive. Specially crafted RAR, CAB, or 7ZIP files
        could cause an application using libarchive to crash.
        (CVE-2015-8916, CVE-2015-8917, CVE-2015-8922)
    
      - Multiple infinite loop / resource exhaustion flaws were
        found in libarchive. Specially crafted GZIP or ISO files
        could cause the application to consume an excessive
        amount of resources, eventually leading to a crash on
        memory exhaustion. (CVE-2016-7166, CVE-2015-8930)
    
      - A denial of service vulnerability was found in
        libarchive. A specially crafted CPIO archive containing
        a symbolic link to a large target path could cause
        memory allocation to fail, causing an application using
        libarchive that attempted to view or extract such
        archive to crash. (CVE-2016-4809)
    
      - An integer overflow flaw, leading to a buffer overflow,
        was found in libarchive's construction of ISO9660
        volumes. Attempting to create an ISO9660 volume with 2
        GB or 4 GB file names could cause the application to
        attempt to allocate 20 GB of memory. If this were to
        succeed, it could lead to an out of bounds write on the
        heap and potential code execution. (CVE-2016-6250)
    
      - Multiple instances of undefined behavior due to
        arithmetic overflow were found in libarchive. Specially
        crafted MTREE archives, Compress streams, or ISO9660
        volumes could potentially cause the application to fail
        to read the archive, or to crash. (CVE-2015-8931,
        CVE-2015-8932, CVE-2016-5844)"

    An update for libarchive is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    6.
    
    Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
    impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
    score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
    vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
    
    The libarchive programming library can create and read several
    different streaming archive formats, including GNU tar, cpio and ISO
    9660 CD-ROM images. Libarchive is used notably in the bsdtar utility,
    scripting language bindings such as python-libarchive, and several
    popular desktop file managers.
    
    Security Fix(es) :
    
    * A flaw was found in the way libarchive handled hardlink archive
    entries of non-zero size. Combined with flaws in libarchive's file
    system sandboxing, this issue could cause an application using
    libarchive to overwrite arbitrary files with arbitrary data from the
    archive. (CVE-2016-5418)
    
    * Multiple out-of-bounds read flaws were found in libarchive.
    Specially crafted AR or MTREE files could cause the application to
    read data out of bounds, potentially disclosing a small amount of
    application memory, or causing an application crash. (CVE-2015-8920,
    CVE-2015-8921)
    
    * A denial of service vulnerability was found in libarchive's handling
    of GZIP streams. A crafted GZIP file could cause libarchive to
    allocate an excessive amount of memory, eventually leading to a crash.
    (CVE-2016-7166)
    
    * A denial of service vulnerability was found in libarchive. A
    specially crafted CPIO archive containing a symbolic link to a large
    target path could cause memory allocation to fail, causing an
    application using libarchive that attempted to view or extract such
    archive to crash. (CVE-2016-4809)
    
    * Multiple instances of undefined behavior due to arithmetic overflow
    were found in libarchive. Specially crafted Compress streams or
    ISO9660 volumes could potentially cause the application to fail to
    read the archive, or to crash. (CVE-2015-8932, CVE-2016-5844)

      - A flaw was found in the way libarchive handled hardlink
        archive entries of non-zero size. Combined with flaws in
        libarchive's file system sandboxing, this issue could
        cause an application using libarchive to overwrite
        arbitrary files with arbitrary data from the archive.
        (CVE-2016-5418)
    
      - Multiple out-of-bounds read flaws were found in
        libarchive. Specially crafted AR or MTREE files could
        cause the application to read data out of bounds,
        potentially disclosing a small amount of application
        memory, or causing an application crash. (CVE-2015-8920,
        CVE-2015-8921)
    
      - A denial of service vulnerability was found in
        libarchive's handling of GZIP streams. A crafted GZIP
        file could cause libarchive to allocate an excessive
        amount of memory, eventually leading to a crash.
        (CVE-2016-7166)
    
      - A denial of service vulnerability was found in
        libarchive. A specially crafted CPIO archive containing
        a symbolic link to a large target path could cause
        memory allocation to fail, causing an application using
        libarchive that attempted to view or extract such
        archive to crash. (CVE-2016-4809)
    
      - Multiple instances of undefined behavior due to
        arithmetic overflow were found in libarchive. Specially
        crafted Compress streams or ISO9660 volumes could
        potentially cause the application to fail to read the
        archive, or to crash. (CVE-2015-8932, CVE-2016-5844)"
