Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Accessing, Modifying or Executing Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's configuration that allows an attacker to either directly access an executable file, for example through shell access; or in a possible worst case allows an attacker to upload a file and then execute it. Web servers, ftp servers, and message oriented middleware systems which have many integration points are particularly vulnerable, because both the programmers and the administrators must be in synch regarding the interfaces and the correct privileges for each interface.
  • Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files, when the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high. The attack can be directed at a client system, such as causing buffer overrun through loading seemingly benign image files, as in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 where specially crafted JPEG files could cause a buffer overrun once loaded into the browser. Another example targets clients reading pdf files. In this case the attacker simply appends javascript to the end of a legitimate url for a pdf (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/danger-danger-danger/) http://path/to/pdf/file.pdf#whatever_name_you_want=javascript:your_code_here The client assumes that they are reading a pdf, but the attacker has modified the resource and loaded executable javascript into the client's browser process. The attack can also target server processes. The attacker edits the resource or configuration file, for example a web.xml file used to configure security permissions for a J2EE app server, adding role name "public" grants all users with the public role the ability to use the administration functionality. The server trusts its configuration file to be correct, but when they are manipulated, the attacker gains full control.
  • Blue Boxing
    This type of attack against older telephone switches and trunks has been around for decades. A tone is sent by an adversary to impersonate a supervisor signal which has the effect of rerouting or usurping command of the line. While the US infrastructure proper may not contain widespread vulnerabilities to this type of attack, many companies are connected globally through call centers and business process outsourcing. These international systems may be operated in countries which have not upgraded Telco infrastructure and so are vulnerable to Blue boxing. Blue boxing is a result of failure on the part of the system to enforce strong authorization for administrative functions. While the infrastructure is different than standard current applications like web applications, there are historical lessons to be learned to upgrade the access control for administrative functions.
  • Restful Privilege Elevation
    Rest uses standard HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permissions methods, but these are not necessarily correlated generally with back end programs. Strict interpretation of HTTP get methods means that these HTTP Get services should not be used to delete information on the server, but there is no access control mechanism to back up this logic. This means that unless the services are properly ACL'd and the application's service implementation are following these guidelines then an HTTP request can easily execute a delete or update on the server side. The attacker identifies a HTTP Get URL such as http://victimsite/updateOrder, which calls out to a program to update orders on a database or other resource. The URL is not idempotent so the request can be submitted multiple times by the attacker, additionally, the attacker may be able to exploit the URL published as a Get method that actually performs updates (instead of merely retrieving data). This may result in malicious or inadvertent altering of data on the server.
  • Target Programs with Elevated Privileges
    This attack targets programs running with elevated privileges. The attacker would try to leverage a bug in the running program and get arbitrary code to execute with elevated privileges. For instance an attacker would look for programs that write to the system directories or registry keys (such as HKLM, which stores a number of critical Windows environment variables). These programs are typically running with elevated privileges and have usually not been designed with security in mind. Such programs are excellent exploit targets because they yield lots of power when they break. The malicious user try to execute its code at the same level as a privileged system call.

    since v3.1-rc1 through v4.13. This function does not
    check whether the required attributes are present in a
    netlink request. This request can be issued by a user
    with CAP_NET_ADMIN privilege and may result in NULL
    dereference and a system crash.(CVE-2017-12153i1/4%0

  - The atyfb_ioctl function in
    drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb_base.c in the Linux
    kernel through 4.12.10 does not initialize a certain
    data structure, which allows local users to obtain
    sensitive information from kernel stack memory by
    reading locations associated with padding
    bytes.(CVE-2017-14156i1/4%0

  - kernel/events/core.c in the performance subsystem in

    certain migrations, which allows local users to gain
    privileges via a crafted application, aka Android
    internal bug 31095224.(CVE-2016-6787i1/4%0

  - The ioresources_init function in kernel/resource.c in
    the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before
    2016-08-05 on Nexus 6 and 7 (2013) devices, uses weak
    permissions for /proc/iomem, which allows local users
    to obtain sensitive information by reading this file,
    aka Android internal bug 28814213 and Qualcomm internal
    bug CR786116. NOTE: the permissions may be intentional
    in most non-Android contexts.(CVE-2015-8944i1/4%0

  - Race condition in the ioctl_file_dedupe_range function
    in fs/ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows
    local users to cause a denial of service (heap-based
    buffer overflow) or possibly gain privileges by
    changing a certain count value, aka a 'double fetch'
    vulnerability.(CVE-2016-6516i1/4%0

  - It was found that the timer functionality in the Linux
    kernel ALSA subsystem is prone to a race condition
    between read and ioctl system call handlers, resulting
    in an uninitialized memory disclosure to user space. A
    local user could use this flaw to read information
    belonging to other users.(CVE-2017-1000380i1/4%0

"According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the
EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by
the following vulnerabilities :

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel. There is an
    information leak in file 'sound/core/timer.c' of the
    latest mainline Linux kernel, the stack object
    aEURoetreadaEUR has a total size of 32 bytes. It contains a
    8-bytes padding, which is not initialized but sent to
    user via copy_to_user(), resulting a kernel
    leak.(CVE-2016-4569)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel. There is an
    information leak in file sound/core/timer.c of the
    latest mainline Linux kernel. The stack object aEURoer1aEUR
    has a total size of 32 bytes. Its field aEURoeeventaEUR and
    aEURoevalaEUR both contain 4 bytes padding. These 8 bytes
    padding bytes are sent to user without being
    initialized.(CVE-2016-4578)

  - The x25_negotiate_facilities function in
    net/x25/x25_facilities.c in the Linux kernel before
    4.5.5 does not properly initialize a certain data
    structure, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive
    information from kernel stack memory via an X.25 Call
    Request.(CVE-2016-4580)

  - fs/pnode.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.4 does not
    properly traverse a mount propagation tree in a certain
    case involving a slave mount, which allows local users
    to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference
    and OOPS) via a crafted series of mount system
    calls.(CVE-2016-4581)

  - Use after free vulnerability was found in percpu using
    previously allocated memory in bpf. First
    __alloc_percpu_gfp() is called, then the memory is
    freed with free_percpu() which triggers async
    pcpu_balance_work and then pcpu_extend_area_map could
    use a chunk after it has been freed.(CVE-2016-4794)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in
    drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c in the Linux kernel
    before 4.5.2 allows local users to cause a denial of
    service (memory corruption and system crash, or
    spinlock) or possibly have unspecified other impact by
    removing a network namespace, related to the
    ppp_register_net_channel and ppp_unregister_channel
    functions.(CVE-2016-4805)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. Payloads
    of NM entries are not supposed to contain NUL. When
    such entry is processed, only the part prior to the
    first NUL goes into the concatenation (i.e. the
    directory entry name being encoded by a bunch of NM
    entries). The process stops when the amount collected
    so far + the claimed amount in the current NM entry
    exceed 254. However, the value returned as the total
    length is the sum of *claimed* sizes, not the actual
    amount collected. And that's what will be passed to
    readdir() callback as the name length - 8Kb
    __copy_to_user() from a buffer allocated by
    __get_free_page().(CVE-2016-4913)

  - A flaw was discovered in processing setsockopt for 32
    bit processes on 64 bit systems. This flaw will allow
    attackers to alter arbitrary kernel memory when
    unloading a kernel module. This action is usually
    restricted to root-privileged users but can also be
    leveraged if the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_USER_NS
    and CONFIG_NET_NS and the user is granted elevated
    privileges.(CVE-2016-4997)

  - An out-of-bounds heap memory access leading to a Denial
    of Service, heap disclosure, or further impact was
    found in setsockopt(). The function call is normally
    restricted to root, however some processes with
    cap_sys_admin may also be able to trigger this flaw in
    privileged container environments.(CVE-2016-4998)

  - A race condition was found in the way the Linux
    kernel's memory subsystem handled the copy-on-write
    (COW) breakage of private read-only memory mappings. An
    unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to gain
    write access to otherwise read-only memory mappings and
    thus increase their privileges on the
    system.(CVE-2016-5195)

  - It was found that the RFC 5961 challenge ACK rate
    limiting as implemented in the Linux kernel's
    networking subsystem allowed an off-path attacker to
    leak certain information about a given connection by
    creating congestion on the global challenge ACK rate
    limit counter and then measuring the changes by probing
    packets. An off-path attacker could use this flaw to
    either terminate TCP connection and/or inject payload
    into non-secured TCP connection between two endpoints
    on the network.(CVE-2016-5696)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in
    the Linux kernel's hiddev driver. This flaw could allow
    a local attacker to corrupt kernel memory, possible
    privilege escalation or crashing the
    system.(CVE-2016-5829)

  - When creating audit records for parameters to executed
    children processes, an attacker can convince the Linux
    kernel audit subsystem can create corrupt records which
    may allow an attacker to misrepresent or evade logging
    of executing commands.(CVE-2016-6136)

  - It was found that the unlink and rename functionality
    in overlayfs did not verify the upper dentry for
    staleness. A local, unprivileged user could use the
    rename syscall on overlayfs on top of xfs to panic or
    crash the system.(CVE-2016-6197)

  - A flaw was found that the vfs_rename() function did not
    detect hard links on overlayfs. A local, unprivileged
    user could use the rename syscall on overlayfs on top
    of xfs to crash the system.(CVE-2016-6198)

  - System using the infiniband support module ib_srpt were
    vulnerable to a denial of service by system crash by a
    local attacker who is able to abort writes to a device
    using this initiator.(CVE-2016-6327)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the ioctl_send_fib()
    function in the Linux kernel's aacraid implementation.
    A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial
    of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by
    changing a certain size value.(CVE-2016-6480)

  - kernel/events/core.c in the performance subsystem in
    the Linux kernel before 4.0 mismanages locks during
    certain migrations, which allows local users to gain
    privileges via a crafted application, aka Android
    internal bug 30955111.(CVE-2016-6786)

  - kernel/events/core.c in the performance subsystem in
    the Linux kernel before 4.0 mismanages locks during
    certain migrations, which allows local users to gain
    privileges via a crafted application, aka Android
    internal bug 31095224.(CVE-2016-6787)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in
    tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue and other tcp_* functions.
    This condition could allow an attacker to send an
    incorrect selective acknowledgment to existing
    connections, possibly resetting a
    connection.(CVE-2016-6828)

  - Linux kernel built with the 802.1Q/802.1ad
    VLAN(CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q) OR Virtual eXtensible Local
    Area Network(CONFIG_VXLAN) with Transparent Ethernet
    Bridging(TEB) GRO support, is vulnerable to a stack
    overflow issue. It could occur while receiving large
    packets via GRO path, as an unlimited recursion could
    unfold in both VLAN and TEB modules, leading to a stack
    corruption in the kernel.(CVE-2016-7039)

  - It was found that when the gcc stack protector was
    enabled, reading the /proc/keys file could cause a
    panic in the Linux kernel due to stack corruption. This
    happened because an incorrect buffer size was used to
    hold a 64-bit timeout value rendered as
    weeks.(CVE-2016-7042)

  - It was found that when file permissions were modified
    via chmod and the user modifying them was not in the
    owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit
    would be cleared. Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr sets
    the file permissions as well as the new ACL, but
    doesn't clear the setgid bit in a similar way. This
    could allow a local user to gain group privileges via
    certain setgid applications.(CVE-2016-7097)

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or have other impacts. - CVE-2016-6786 / CVE-2016-6787 It was discovered that the performance events subsystem does not properly manage locks during certain migrations, allowing a local attacker to escalate privileges. This can be mitigated by disabling unprivileged use of performance events:sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3 - CVE-2016-8405 Peter Pi of Trend Micro discovered that the frame buffer video subsystem does not properly check bounds while copying color maps to userspace, causing a heap buffer out-of-bounds read, leading to information disclosure. - CVE-2016-9191 CAI Qian discovered that reference counting is not properly handled within proc_sys_readdir in the sysctl implementation, allowing a local denial of service (system hang) or possibly privilege escalation. - CVE-2017-2583 Xiaohan Zhang reported that KVM for amd64 does not correctly emulate loading of a null stack selector. This can be used by a user in a guest VM for denial of service (on an Intel CPU) or to escalate privileges within the VM (on an AMD CPU). - CVE-2017-2584 Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM for x86 does not correctly emulate memory access by the SGDT and SIDT instructions, which can result in a use-after-free and information leak. - CVE-2017-2596 Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM leaks page references when emulating a VMON for a nested hypervisor. This can be used by a privileged user in a guest VM for denial of service or possibly to gain privileges in the host. - CVE-2017-2618 It was discovered that an off-by-one in the handling of SELinux attributes in /proc/pid/attr could result in local denial of service. - CVE-2017-5549 It was discovered that the KLSI KL5KUSB105 serial USB device driver could log the contents of uninitialised kernel memory, resulting in an information leak. - CVE-2017-5551 Jan Kara found that changing the POSIX ACL of a file on tmpfs never cleared its set-group-ID flag, which should be done if the user changing it is not a member of the group-owner. In some cases, this would allow the user-owner of an executable to gain the privileges of the group-owner. - CVE-2017-5897 Andrey Konovalov discovered an out-of-bounds read flaw in the ip6gre_err function in the IPv6 networking code. - CVE-2017-5970 Andrey Konovalov discovered a denial-of-service flaw in the IPv4 networking code. This can be triggered by a local or remote attacker if a local UDP or raw socket has the IP_RETOPTS option enabled. - CVE-2017-6001 Di Shen discovered a race condition between concurrent calls to the performance events subsystem, allowing a local attacker to escalate privileges. This flaw exists because of an incomplete fix of CVE-2016-6786. This can be mitigated by disabling unprivileged use of performance events: sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3 - CVE-2017-6074 Andrey Konovalov discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the DCCP networking code, which could result in denial of service or local privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it:echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install dccp false

"Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or have other
impacts.

  - CVE-2016-6786 / CVE-2016-6787
    It was discovered that the performance events subsystem
    does not properly manage locks during certain
    migrations, allowing a local attacker to escalate
    privileges. This can be mitigated by disabling
    unprivileged use of performance events:sysctl
    kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3

  - CVE-2016-8405
    Peter Pi of Trend Micro discovered that the frame buffer
    video subsystem does not properly check bounds while
    copying color maps to userspace, causing a heap buffer
    out-of-bounds read, leading to information disclosure.

  - CVE-2016-9191
    CAI Qian discovered that reference counting is not
    properly handled within proc_sys_readdir in the sysctl
    implementation, allowing a local denial of service
    (system hang) or possibly privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-2583
    Xiaohan Zhang reported that KVM for amd64 does not
    correctly emulate loading of a null stack selector. This
    can be used by a user in a guest VM for denial of
    service (on an Intel CPU) or to escalate privileges
    within the VM (on an AMD CPU).

  - CVE-2017-2584
    Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM for x86 does not
    correctly emulate memory access by the SGDT and SIDT
    instructions, which can result in a use-after-free and
    information leak.

  - CVE-2017-2596
    Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM leaks page references
    when emulating a VMON for a nested hypervisor. This can
    be used by a privileged user in a guest VM for denial of
    service or possibly to gain privileges in the host.

  - CVE-2017-2618
    It was discovered that an off-by-one in the handling of
    SELinux attributes in /proc/pid/attr could result in
    local denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-5549
    It was discovered that the KLSI KL5KUSB105 serial USB
    device driver could log the contents of uninitialised
    kernel memory, resulting in an information leak.

  - CVE-2017-5551
    Jan Kara found that changing the POSIX ACL of a file on
    tmpfs never cleared its set-group-ID flag, which should
    be done if the user changing it is not a member of the
    group-owner. In some cases, this would allow the
    user-owner of an executable to gain the privileges of
    the group-owner.

  - CVE-2017-5897
    Andrey Konovalov discovered an out-of-bounds read flaw
    in the ip6gre_err function in the IPv6 networking code.

  - CVE-2017-5970
    Andrey Konovalov discovered a denial-of-service flaw in
    the IPv4 networking code. This can be triggered by a
    local or remote attacker if a local UDP or raw socket
    has the IP_RETOPTS option enabled.

  - CVE-2017-6001
    Di Shen discovered a race condition between concurrent
    calls to the performance events subsystem, allowing a
    local attacker to escalate privileges. This flaw exists
    because of an incomplete fix of CVE-2016-6786. This can
    be mitigated by disabling unprivileged use of
    performance events: sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3

  - CVE-2017-6074
    Andrey Konovalov discovered a use-after-free
    vulnerability in the DCCP networking code, which could
    result in denial of service or local privilege
    escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp
    module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling
    it:echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install
    dccp false"
