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 remote host is running a version of macOS that is 10.12.x prior to 10.12.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in multiple components, some of which are remote code execution vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these remote code execution vulnerabilities by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user. The affected components are as follows : - apache - apache_mod_php - AppleGraphicsPowerManagement - AppleRAID - Audio - Bluetooth - Carbon - CoreGraphics - CoreMedia - CoreText - curl - EFI - FinderKit - FontParser - HTTPProtocol - Hypervisor - iBooks - ImageIO - Intel Graphics Driver - IOATAFamily - IOFireWireAVC - IOFireWireFamily - Kernel - Keyboards - libarchive - libc++abi - LibreSSL - MCX Client - Menus - Multi-Touch - OpenSSH - OpenSSL - Printing - python - QuickTime - Security - SecurityFoundation - sudo - System Integrity Protection - tcpdump - tiffutil - WebKit

    descriptionAccording to its banner, the version of Apple TV on the remote device is prior to 10.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A flaw exists in WebKit when handling the location attribute that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the cross-origin policies and disclose sensitive user information. (CVE-2016-4613) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the FontParser component when handling specially crafted font files that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-4660) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Sandbox Profiles component that allows a local attacker, via a specially crafted application, to disclose the metadata of photo directories. (CVE-2016-4664) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Sandbox Profiles component that allows a local attacker, via a specially crafted application, to disclose the metadata of audio recordings. (CVE-2016-4665) - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in Webkit due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4666, CVE-2016-4677, CVE-2016-7578) - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the System Boot component, within MIG generated code, due to improper validation of input. A local attacker can exploit these to terminate the system or execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-4669) - A memory corruption issue exists in the CoreGraphics component when handling specially crafted JPEG files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted file, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4673) - An unspecified logic issue exists in libxpc that allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. (CVE-2016-4675) - A flaw exists in libarchive due to improper path validation when creating temporary files during archive extraction. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a symlink attack, to overwrite arbitrary files. (CVE-2016-4679) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Kernel component due to improper sanitization of input. A local attacker can exploit this to disclose kernel memory contents. (CVE-2016-4680) - An overflow condition exists in the FontParser component due to improper validation when parsing font files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4688) - A flaw exists in the CFNetwork Proxies component when handling proxy credentials that allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to disclose sensitive user information. (CVE-2016-7579) - A flaw exists in the AppleMobileFileIntegrity component due to improper validation of code signatures. A local attacker can exploit this to have a signed executable substitute code with the same team ID. (CVE-2016-7584) - Multiple race conditions exist in various IOKit drivers related to how they use task struct pointers. A local attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. (CVE-2016-7613) Note that only 4th generation models are affected by these vulnerabilities.

        attacker to bypass the cross-origin policies and
        disclose sensitive user information. (CVE-2016-4613)
    
      - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the FontParser
        component when handling specially crafted font files
        that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
        disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-4660)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists in the Sandbox Profiles
        component that allows a local attacker, via a specially
        crafted application, to disclose the metadata of photo
        directories. (CVE-2016-4664)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists in the Sandbox Profiles

        a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with root
        privileges. (CVE-2016-4675)
    
      - A flaw exists in libarchive due to improper path
        validation when creating temporary files during archive
        extraction. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can
        exploit this, via a symlink attack, to overwrite
        arbitrary files. (CVE-2016-4679)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists in the Kernel component due
        to improper sanitization of input. A local attacker can
        exploit this to disclose kernel memory contents.
        (CVE-2016-4680)
    
      - An overflow condition exists in the FontParser component
        due to improper validation when parsing font files. An
        unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
        cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of
        service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
        (CVE-2016-4688)
    
      - A flaw exists in the CFNetwork Proxies component when
        handling proxy credentials that allows a
        man-in-the-middle attacker to disclose sensitive user
        information. (CVE-2016-7579)
    
      - A flaw exists in the AppleMobileFileIntegrity component
        due to improper validation of code signatures. A local
        attacker can exploit this to have a signed executable
        substitute code with the same team ID. (CVE-2016-7584)
    
      - Multiple race conditions exist in various IOKit drivers
        related to how they use task struct pointers. A local
        attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code with

    descriptionThe remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.10.5 or 10.11.6 that is missing a security update. It is therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the LibreSSL component due to a flaw in the ECDSA implementation that is triggered when not properly setting a flag in ECDSA signing nonces to indicate that only constant-time code paths should be followed. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to conduct side-channel cache-timing attacks, allowing the attacker to recover the modular inversion state sequences and the ECDSA private keys. Note that this vulnerability does not affect Mac OS X 10.10.5. (CVE-2016-7056) - An integer overflow condition exists in the ImageIO component due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted JPEG file, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2432) - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in the libxslt component that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2477) - An integer overflow condition exists in the libxslt component in the xsltAddTextString() function in transform.c. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, to cause an out-of-bounds write, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

    multiple vulnerabilities :
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the
        LibreSSL component due to a flaw in the ECDSA
        implementation that is triggered when not properly
        setting a flag in ECDSA signing nonces to indicate that
        only constant-time code paths should be followed. An
        unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
        conduct side-channel cache-timing attacks, allowing the
        attacker to recover the  modular inversion state
        sequences and the ECDSA private keys. Note that this
        vulnerability does not affect Mac OS X 10.10.5.
        (CVE-2016-7056)
    
      - An integer overflow condition exists in the ImageIO
        component due to improper validation of user-supplied
        input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit
        this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted
        JPEG file, to cause a denial of service condition or the
        execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2432)
    
      - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in the libxslt
        component that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker
        to cause a denial of service condition or the execution
        of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2477)
    
      - An integer overflow condition exists in the libxslt
        component in the xsltAddTextString() function in
        transform.c. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can
        exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially
        crafted file, to cause an out-of-bounds write,
        potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
