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.

    descriptionThe version of Firefox installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 46. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an attacker to corrupt memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2804, CVE-2016-2806, CVE-2016-2807) - A flaw exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling the 32-bit generation count of the underlying HashMap. A context-dependent attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow condition, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2808) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the BeginReading() function. A context-dependent attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2811) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to a race condition in ServiceWorkerManager in the get() function. A context-dependent attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2812) - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the Google Stagefright component due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling CENC offsets and the sizes table. A context-dependent attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2814) - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to the Content Security Policy (CSP) not being properly applied to web content sent with the
