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.

        triggered when handling DTLS objects. An attacker can
        exploit this to dereference already freed memory,
        resulting in a denial of service condition or the
        execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5258)
    
      - A use-after-free error exists in the DestroySyncLoop()
        function in dom/workers/WorkerPrivate.cpp that is
        triggered when handling nested sync event loops in
        Service Workers. An attacker can exploit this to
        dereference already freed memory, resulting in a denial
        of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
        (CVE-2016-5259)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the
        restorableFormNodes() function in XPathGenerator.jsm due
        to persistently storing passwords in plaintext in
        session restore data. An attacker can exploit this to
        disclose password information. (CVE-2016-5260)
    
      - An integer overflow condition exists in the
        ProcessInput() function in WebSocketChannel.cpp due to
        improper validation of user-supplied input when handling
        specially crafted WebSocketChannel packets. An attacker
        can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition
        or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5261)
    
      - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to event
        handler attributes on a <marquee> tag being executed
        inside a sandboxed iframe that does not have the
        allow-scripts flag set. An attacker can exploit this to
        bypass cross-site scripting protection mechanisms.
        (CVE-2016-5262)
    
      - A type confusion flaw exists in the HitTest() function

An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0718) - A stored cross-site (XSS) scripting vulnerability exists that can be exploited by an authenticated, remote attacker that has user-level access to the Nessus user interface.

    descriptionAn update for expat is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. 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. Expat is a C library for parsing XML documents. Security Fix(es) : * An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way Expat processed certain input. A remote attacker could send specially crafted XML that, when parsed by an application using the Expat library, would cause that application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the permission of the user running the application. (CVE-2016-0718) Red Hat would like to thank Gustavo Grieco for reporting this issue.

descriptionIntroduction ============ Per ESET's online material, "ESET Endpoint Antivirus for OS X delivers award- winning cross-platform protection for multi-platform environments. It protects against malware and spyware and shields end users from fake websites phishing for sensitive information such as usernames, passwords or credit card details. Unauthorized devices can be blocked from the system entirely. The solution's highly intuitive interface allows for quick navigation." Vulnerable versions of ESET Endpoint Antivirus 6 are statically linked with an outdated XML parsing library and do not perform proper server authentication, allowing for remote unauthenticated attackers to perform arbitrary code execution as root on vulnerable clients. Vulnerability ============= The esets_daemon service, which runs as root, is statically linked with an outdated version of the POCO XML parser library (https://pocoproject.org/) -- version 1.4.6p1 from 2013-03-06. This version of POCO is based on Expat (http://expat.sourceforge.net/) version 2.0.1 from 2007-06-05, which has a publicly known XML parsing vulnerability (CVE-2016-0718) that allows for arbitrary code execution via malformed XML content. When ESET Endpoint Antivirus tries to activate its license, esets_daemon sends a request to https://edf.eset.com/edf. The esets_daemon service does not validate the web server's certificate, so a man-in-the-middle can intercept the request and respond using a self-signed HTTPS certificate. The esets_daemon service parses the response as an XML document, thereby allowing the attacker to supply malformed content and exploit CVE-2016-0718 to achieve arbitrary code execution as root.
