Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Embedding Scripts within Scripts
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities that are brought on by allowing remote hosts to execute scripts. The attacker leverages this capability to execute scripts to execute his/her own script by embedding it within other scripts that the target software is likely to execute. The attacker must have the ability to inject script into script that is likely to be executed. If this is done, then the attacker can potentially launch a variety of probes and attacks against the web server's local environment, in many cases the so-called DMZ, back end resources the web server can communicate with, and other hosts. With the proliferation of intermediaries, such as Web App Firewalls, network devices, and even printers having JVMs and Web servers, there are many locales where an attacker can inject malicious scripts. Since this attack pattern defines scripts within scripts, there are likely privileges to execute said attack on the host. Of course, these attacks are not solely limited to the server side, client side scripts like Ajax and client side JavaScript can contain malicious scripts as well. In general all that is required is for there to be sufficient privileges to execute a script, but not protected against writing.
  • Signature Spoofing by Key Theft
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by theft and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues.

CVE-2016-8605: The mkdir procedure of GNU Guile temporarily changed
the process' umask to zero. During that time window, in a
multithreaded application, other threads could end up creating files
with insecure permissions.

CVE-2016-8606: GNU Guile provides a 'REPL server' which is a command
prompt that developers can connect to for live coding and debugging
purposes. The REPL server is started by the '--listen' command-line
option or equivalent API.

It was reported that the REPL server is vulnerable to the HTTP
inter-protocol attack.

This constitutes a remote code execution vulnerability for
developers running a REPL server that listens on a loopback
device or private network. Applications that do not run a
REPL server, as is usually the case, are unaffected.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
2.0.5+1-3+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your guile-2.0 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
