Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Authentication Abuse An attacker obtains unauthorized access to an application, service or device either through knowledge of the inherent weaknesses of an authentication mechanism, or by exploiting a flaw in the authentication scheme's implementation. In such an attack an authentication mechanism is functioning but a carefully controlled sequence of events causes the mechanism to grant access to the attacker. This attack may exploit assumptions made by the target's authentication procedures, such as assumptions regarding trust relationships or assumptions regarding the generation of secret values. This attack differs from Authentication Bypass attacks in that Authentication Abuse allows the attacker to be certified as a valid user through illegitimate means, while Authentication Bypass allows the user to access protected material without ever being certified as an authenticated user. This attack does not rely on prior sessions established by successfully authenticating users, as relied upon for the "Exploitation of Session Variables, Resource IDs and other Trusted Credentials" attack patterns.
- Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible) An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
- Utilizing REST's Trust in the System Resource to Register Man in the Middle This attack utilizes a REST(REpresentational State Transfer)-style applications' trust in the system resources and environment to place man in the middle once SSL is terminated. Rest applications premise is that they leverage existing infrastructure to deliver web services functionality. An example of this is a Rest application that uses HTTP Get methods and receives a HTTP response with an XML document. These Rest style web services are deployed on existing infrastructure such as Apache and IIS web servers with no SOAP stack required. Unfortunately from a security standpoint, there frequently is no interoperable identity security mechanism deployed, so Rest developers often fall back to SSL to deliver security. In large data centers, SSL is typically terminated at the edge of the network - at the firewall, load balancer, or router. Once the SSL is terminated the HTTP request is in the clear (unless developers have hashed or encrypted the values, but this is rare). The attacker can utilize a sniffer such as Wireshark to snapshot the credentials, such as username and password that are passed in the clear once SSL is terminated. Once the attacker gathers these credentials, they can submit requests to the web service provider just as authorized user do. There is not typically an authentication on the client side, beyond what is passed in the request itself so once this is compromised, then this is generally sufficient to compromise the service's authentication scheme.
- Man in the Middle Attack This type of attack targets the communication between two components (typically client and server). The attacker places himself in the communication channel between the two components. Whenever one component attempts to communicate with the other (data flow, authentication challenges, etc.), the data first goes to the attacker, who has the opportunity to observe or alter it, and it is then passed on to the other component as if it was never intercepted. This interposition is transparent leaving the two compromised components unaware of the potential corruption or leakage of their communications. The potential for Man-in-the-Middle attacks yields an implicit lack of trust in communication or identify between two components.

NASL family AIX Local Security Checks NASL id AIX_IV87939.NASL description NTPv3 and NTPv4 are vulnerable to : http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-7974 NTP could allow a remote authenticated attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by a missing key check. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to impersonate a peer. NTP could allow a local attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to use a constant-time memory comparison function when validating the authentication digest on incoming packets. By sending a specially crafted packet with an authentication payload, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct a timing attack to compute the value of the valid authentication digest. While the majority OSes implement martian packet filtering in their network stack, at least regarding 127.0.0.0/8, a rare few will allow packets claiming to be from 127.0.0.0/8 that arrive over physical network. On these OSes, if ntpd is configured to use a reference clock an attacker can inject packets over the network that look like they are coming from that reference clock. If ntpd was expressly configured to allow for remote configuration, a malicious user who knows the controlkey for ntpq or the requestkey for ntpdc (if mode7 is expressly enabled) can create a session with ntpd and then send a crafted packet to ntpd that will change the value of the trustedkey, controlkey, or requestkey to a value that will prevent any subsequent authentication with ntpd until ntpd is restarted. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when using a specially crafted packet to create a peer association with hmode > 7. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the MATCH_ASSOC() function to trigger an out-of-bounds read. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to always check the ctl_getitem() function return value. By sending an overly large value, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the demobilization of a preemptable client association. By sending specially crafted crypto NAK packets, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending specially crafted CRYPTO_NAK packets, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause ntpd to crash. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending specially crafted CRYPTO_NAK packets to an ephemeral peer target prior to a response being sent, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to demobilize the ephemeral association. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending spoofed server packets with correct origin timestamps, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a false leap indication to be set. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending spoofed CRYPTO_NAK or a bad MAC packets with correct origin timestamps, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the autokey association to reset.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to impersonate a peer. NTP could allow a local attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to use a constant-time memory comparison function when validating the authentication digest on incoming packets. By sending a specially crafted packet with an authentication payload, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct a timing attack to compute the value of the valid authentication digest. While the majority OSes implement martian packet filtering in their network stack, at least regarding 127.0.0.0/8, a rare few will allow packets claiming to be from 127.0.0.0/8 that arrive over physical network. On these OSes, if ntpd is configured to use a reference clock an attacker can inject packets over the network that look like they are coming from that reference clock. If ntpd was expressly configured to allow for remote configuration, a malicious user who knows the controlkey for ntpq or the requestkey for ntpdc (if mode7 is expressly enabled) can create a session with ntpd and then send a crafted packet to ntpd that will change the value of the trustedkey, controlkey, or requestkey to a value that will prevent any subsequent authentication with ntpd until ntpd is restarted. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when using a specially crafted packet to create a peer association with hmode > 7. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the MATCH_ASSOC() function to trigger an out-of-bounds read. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to always check the ctl_getitem() function return value. By sending an overly large value, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the demobilization of a preemptable client association. By sending specially crafted crypto NAK packets, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending specially crafted CRYPTO_NAK packets, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause ntpd to crash. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending specially crafted CRYPTO_NAK packets to an ephemeral peer target prior to a response being sent, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to demobilize the ephemeral association. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending spoofed server packets with correct origin timestamps, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a false leap indication to be set. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending spoofed CRYPTO_NAK or a bad MAC packets with correct origin timestamps, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the autokey association to reset.
