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.
  • 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.

    descriptionThis update updates QtWebEngine to the 5.8.0 release. QtWebEngine 5.8.0 is part of the Qt 5.8.0 release, but only the QtWebEngine component is included in this update. The update fixes the following security issues in QtWebEngine 5.7.1: CVE-2016-5182, CVE-2016-5183, CVE-2016-5189, CVE-2016-5199, CVE-2016-5201, CVE-2016-5203, CVE-2016-5204, CVE-2016-5205, CVE-2016-5206, CVE-2016-5208, CVE-2016-5207, CVE-2016-5210, CVE-2016-5211, CVE-2016-5212, CVE-2016-5213, CVE-2016-5214, CVE-2016-5215.

Other immediately usable changes in QtWebEngine 5.8 include : - Based on Chromium 53.0.2785.148 with security fixes from Chromium up to version 55.0.2883.75. (5.7.1 was based on Chromium 49.0.2623.111 with security fixes from Chromium up to version 54.0.2840.87.) - The `view-source:` scheme is now supported. - User scripts now support metadata (`@include`, `@exclude`, `@match`) as in Greasemonkey. - Some `chrome:` schemes now supported, for instance `chrome://gpu`. - Several bugs were fixed, see https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine.git/tree/dist/cha nges-5.8.0 for details. The following changes in QtWebEngine 5.8 require compile-time application support and will only be available after applications are rebuilt (and patched to remove the checks for Qt 5.8, because Qt is still version 5.7.1, only QtWebEngine is being updated) : - Spellchecking with a forked version of Hunspell. This Fedora package automatically converts system Hunspell dictionaries (installed by system RPMs into the systemwide location) to the Chromium `bdic` format used by QtWebEngine (using an RPM file trigger). If you wish to use dictionaries installed manually, use the included `qwebengine_convert_dict` tool. Alternatively, you can also download dictionaries directly in the Chromium `bdic` format. - Support for printing directly to a printer. (Note that QupZilla already supports printing to a printer, because it can use the printToPdf API that has existed since QtWebEngine 5.7 to print to a printer with the help of the `lpr` command-line tool. But other applications such as KMail require the new direct printing API.) - Added a setting to enable printing of CSS backgrounds. The following new QML APIs are available to developers : - Tooltips (HTML5 global title attribute) are now also supported in the QML API. - Qt WebEngine (QML) allows defining custom dialogs / context menus. - Qt WebEngine (QML) on `eglfs` uses builtin dialogs based on Qt Quick Controls 2. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionThe version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 54.0.2840.99. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the FFmpeg component due to an integer overflow condition in the mov_read_keys() function in mov.c caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a website containing specially crafted content, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5199) - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the V8 component due to an out-of-bounds read error that is triggered when handling

    descriptionThis update updates QtWebEngine to the 5.8.0 release. QtWebEngine 5.8.0 is part of the Qt 5.8.0 release, but only the QtWebEngine component is included in this update. The update fixes the following security issues in QtWebEngine 5.7.1: CVE-2016-5182, CVE-2016-5183, CVE-2016-5189, CVE-2016-5199, CVE-2016-5201, CVE-2016-5203, CVE-2016-5204, CVE-2016-5205, CVE-2016-5206, CVE-2016-5208, CVE-2016-5207, CVE-2016-5210, CVE-2016-5211, CVE-2016-5212, CVE-2016-5213, CVE-2016-5214, CVE-2016-5215. CVE-2016-5216, CVE-2016-5217, CVE-2016-5218, CVE-2016-5219, CVE-2016-5221, CVE-2016-5222, CVE-2016-5223, CVE-2016-5224, CVE-2016-5225, CVE-2016-9650 and CVE-2016-9651. Other immediately usable changes in QtWebEngine 5.8 include : - Based on Chromium 53.0.2785.148 with security fixes from Chromium up to version 55.0.2883.75. (5.7.1 was based on Chromium 49.0.2623.111 with security fixes from Chromium up to version 54.0.2840.87.) - The `view-source:` scheme is now supported. - User scripts now support metadata (`@include`, `@exclude`, `@match`) as in Greasemonkey. - Some `chrome:` schemes now supported, for instance `chrome://gpu`. - Several bugs were fixed, see https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine.git/tree/dist/cha nges-5.8.0 for details. The following changes in QtWebEngine 5.8 require compile-time application support and will only be available after applications are rebuilt (and patched to remove the checks for Qt 5.8, because Qt is still version 5.7.1, only QtWebEngine is being updated) : - Spellchecking with a forked version of Hunspell. This Fedora package automatically converts system Hunspell dictionaries (installed by system RPMs into the systemwide location) to the Chromium `bdic` format used by QtWebEngine (using an RPM file trigger). If you wish to use dictionaries installed manually, use the included `qwebengine_convert_dict` tool. Alternatively, you can also download dictionaries directly in the Chromium `bdic` format. - Support for printing directly to a printer. (Note that QupZilla already supports printing to a printer, because it can use the printToPdf API that has existed since QtWebEngine 5.7 to print to a printer with the help of the `lpr` command-line tool. But other applications such as KMail require the new direct printing API.) - Added a setting to enable printing of CSS backgrounds. The following new QML APIs are available to developers : - Tooltips (HTML5 global title attribute) are now also supported in the QML API. - Qt WebEngine (QML) allows defining custom dialogs / context menus. - Qt WebEngine (QML) on `eglfs` uses builtin dialogs based on Qt Quick Controls 2. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
