Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Subverting Environment Variable Values
    The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
  • Footprinting
    An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
  • 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.
  • Browser Fingerprinting
    An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
  • Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
    This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

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

CVE-2012-6704, CVE-2016-9793

Eric Dumazet found that a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability
could set a socket's buffer size to be negative, leading to a denial
of service or other security impact. Additionally, in kernel versions
prior to 3.5, any user could do this if sysctl net.core.rmem_max was
changed to a very large value.

CVE-2015-1350 / #770492

Ben Harris reported that local users could remove set-capability
attributes from any file visible to them, allowing a denial of
service.

CVE-2015-8962

Calvin Owens fouund that removing a SCSI device while it was being
accessed through the SCSI generic (sg) driver led to a double- free,
possibly causing a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
privilege escalation. This could be exploited by local users with
permision to access a SCSI device node.

CVE-2015-8963

Sasha Levin reported that hot-unplugging a CPU resulted in a
use-after-free by the performance events (perf) subsystem, possibly
causing a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or privilege
escalation. This could by exploited by any local user.

CVE-2015-8964

It was found that the terminal/serial (tty) subsystem did not reliably
reset the terminal buffer state when the terminal line discipline was
changed. This could allow a local user with access to a terminal
device to read sensitive information from kernel memory.

CVE-2016-7097

Jan Kara found that changing the POSIX ACL of a file 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-2016-7910

Vegard Nossum discovered that a memory allocation failure while
handling a read of /proc/diskstats or /proc/partitions could lead to a
use-after-free, possibly causing a denial of service (crash or memory
corruption) or privilege escalation.

CVE-2016-7911

Dmitry Vyukov reported that a race between ioprio_get() and
ioprio_set() system calls could result in a use-after-free, possibly
causing a denial of service (crash) or leaking sensitive information.

CVE-2016-7915

Benjamin Tissoires found that HID devices could trigger an out-of-
bounds memory access in the HID core. A physically present user could
possibly use this for denial of service (crash) or to leak sensitive
information.

CVE-2016-8399

Qidan He reported that the IPv4 ping socket implementation did not
validate the length of packets to be sent. A user with permisson to
use ping sockets could cause an out-of-bounds read, possibly resulting
in a denial of service or information leak. However, on Debian systems
no users have permission to create ping sockets by default.

CVE-2016-8633

Eyal Itkin reported that the IP-over-Firewire driver (firewire-net)
did not validate the offset or length in link-layer fragmentation
headers. This allowed a remote system connected by Firewire to write
to memory after a packet buffer, leading to a denial of service
(crash) or remote code execution.

CVE-2016-8645

Marco Grassi reported that if a socket filter (BPF program) attached
to a TCP socket truncates or removes the TCP header, this could cause
a denial of service (crash). This was exploitable by any local user.

CVE-2016-8655

Philip Pettersson found that the implementation of packet sockets
(AF_PACKET family) had a race condition between enabling a transmit
ring buffer and changing the version of buffers used, which could
result in a use-after-free. A local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability could exploit this for privilege escalation.

CVE-2016-9178

Al Viro found that a failure to read data from user memory might lead
to a information leak on the x86 architecture (amd64 or i386).

CVE-2016-9555

Andrey Konovalov reported that the SCTP implementation does not
validate 'out of the blue' packet chunk lengths early enough. A remote
system able could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or
other security impact for systems using SCTP.

CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-10088

Dmitry Vyukov reported that using splice() with the SCSI generic
driver led to kernel memory corruption. Local users with permision to
access a SCSI device node could exploit this for privilege escalation.

CVE-2016-9756

Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM for the x86 architecture (amd64 or
i386) did not correctly handle the failure of certain instructions
that require software emulation on older processors. This could be
exploited by guest systems to leak sensitive information or for denial
of service (log spam).

CVE-2016-9794

Baozeng Ding reported a race condition in the ALSA (sound) subsystem
that could result in a use-after-free. Local users with access to a
PCM sound device could exploit this for denial of service (crash or
memory corruption) or other security impact.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
3.2.84-1. This version also includes bug fixes from upstream version
3.2.84 and updates the PREEMPT_RT featureset to version 3.2.84-rt122.
Finally, this version adds the option to mitigate security issues in
the performance events (perf) subsystem by disabling use by
unprivileged users. This can be done by setting sysctl
kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version
3.16.39-1 which will be included in the next point release (8.6).

  • NASL familyUbuntu Local Security Checks
    NASL idUBUNTU_USN-3422-1.NASL
    descriptionIt was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the Bluetooth stack of the Linux kernel when handling L2CAP configuration responses. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-1000251) It was discovered that the asynchronous I/O (aio) subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly set permissions on aio memory mappings in some situations. An attacker could use this to more easily exploit other vulnerabilities. (CVE-2016-10044) Baozeng Ding and Andrey Konovalov discovered a race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-10200) Andreas Gruenbacher and Jan Kara discovered that the filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not clear the setgid bit during a setxattr call. A local attacker could use this to possibly elevate group privileges. (CVE-2016-7097) Sergej Schumilo, Ralf Spenneberg, and Hendrik Schwartke discovered that the key management subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly allocate memory in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-8650) Vlad Tsyrklevich discovered an integer overflow vulnerability in the VFIO PCI driver for the Linux kernel. A local attacker with access to a vfio PCI device file could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-9083, CVE-2016-9084) It was discovered that an information leak existed in __get_user_asm_ex() in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-9178) CAI Qian discovered that the sysctl implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference counting in some situations. An unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system hang). (CVE-2016-9191) It was discovered that the keyring implementation in the Linux kernel in some situations did not prevent special internal keyrings from being joined by userspace keyrings. A privileged local attacker could use this to bypass module verification. (CVE-2016-9604) It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the trace subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-9754) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle invalid IP options in some situations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5970) Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle TCP packets with the URG flag. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-6214) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the AF_PACKET handling code in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-6346) It was discovered that the keyring implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict searches for dead keys. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-6951) Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the generic SCSI (sg) subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a stack-based buffer overflow. A local attacker with access to an sg device could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7187) Eric Biggers discovered a memory leak in the keyring implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory consumption). (CVE-2017-7472) It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7541). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2016-8655: A race condition in the af_packet packet_set_ring function could be used by local attackers to crash the kernel or gain privileges (bsc#1012754). - CVE-2016-9794: A use-after-free in ALSA pcm could lead to crashes or allowed local users to potentially gain privileges (bsc#1013533). - CVE-2015-8962: Double free vulnerability in the sg_common_write function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call (bnc#1010501). - CVE-2016-9178: The __get_user_asm_ex macro in arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain integer variable, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by triggering failure of a get_user_ex call (bnc#1008650). - CVE-2016-7913: The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors involving omission of the firmware name from a certain data structure (bnc#1010478). - CVE-2016-9555: The sctp_sf_ootb function in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Linux kernel lacks chunk-length checking for the first chunk, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds slab access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted SCTP data (bnc#1011685). - CVE-2015-8963: Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging incorrect handling of an swevent data structure during a CPU unplug operation (bnc#1010502). - CVE-2015-8964: The tty_set_termios_ldisc function in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a tty data structure (bnc#1010507). - CVE-2016-8646: The hash_accept function in crypto/algif_hash.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by attempting to trigger use of in-kernel hash algorithms for a socket that has received zero bytes of data (bnc#1010150). - CVE-2016-8633: drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux kernel in certain unusual hardware configurations, allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets (bnc#1008833). - CVE-2016-8630: The x86_decode_insn function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel, when KVM is enabled, allowed local users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via a certain use of a ModR/M byte in an undefined instruction (bnc#1009222). - CVE-2016-9083: drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass integer overflow checks, and cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact, by leveraging access to a vfio PCI device file for a VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctl call, aka a

    descriptionTilman Schmidt and Sasha Levin discovered a use-after-free condition in the TTY implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2015-8964) It was discovered that the Video For Linux Two (v4l2) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle multiple planes when processing a VIDIOC_DQBUF ioctl(). A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4568) CAI Qian discovered that shared bind mounts in a mount namespace exponentially added entries without restriction to the Linux kernel
