Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Attack through Shared Data An attacker exploits a data structure shared between multiple applications or an application pool to affect application behavior. Data may be shared between multiple applications or between multiple threads of a single application. Data sharing is usually accomplished through mutual access to a single memory location. If an attacker can manipulate this shared data (usually by co-opting one of the applications or threads) the other applications or threads using the shared data will often continue to trust the validity of the compromised shared data and use it in their calculations. This can result in invalid trust assumptions, corruption of additional data through the normal operations of the other users of the shared data, or even cause a crash or compromise of the sharing applications.
- Integer Attacks An attacker takes advantage of the structure of integer variables to cause these variables to assume values that are not expected by an application. For example, adding one to the largest positive integer in a signed integer variable results in a negative number. Negative numbers may be illegal in an application and the application may prevent an attacker from providing them directly, but the application may not consider that adding two positive numbers can create a negative number do to the structure of integer storage formats.
- Pointer Attack This attack involves an attacker manipulating a pointer within a target application resulting in the application accessing an unintended memory location. This can result in the crashing of the application or, for certain pointer values, access to data that would not normally be possible or the execution of arbitrary code. Since pointers are simply integer variables, Integer Attacks may often be used in Pointer Attacks.

(CVE-2017-12855) - From: Andrew Cooper Subject: grant_table: Default to v1, and disallow transitive grants The reference counting and locking discipline for transitive grants is broken. Their use is therefore declared out of security support. This is XSA-226. Transitive grants are expected to be unconditionally available with grant table v2. Hiding transitive grants alone is an ABI breakage for the guest. Modern versions of Linux and the Windows PV drivers use grant table v1, but older versions did use v2. In principle, disabling gnttab v2 entirely is the safer way to cause guests to avoid using transitive grants. However, some older guests which defaulted to using gnttab v2 don't tolerate falling back from v2 to v1 over migrate. This patch introduces a new command line option to control grant table behaviour. One suboption allows a choice of the maximum grant table version Xen will allow the guest to use, and defaults to v2. A different suboption independently controls whether transitive grants can be used. The default case is: gnttab=max_ver:2 To disable gnttab v2 entirely, use: gnttab=max_ver:1 To allow gnttab v2 and transitive grants, use: gnttab=max_ver:2,transitive Conflict: docs/misc/xen-command-line.markdown (CVE-2017-12135) - Revert wrong fix for xsa226 [bug 26567225] - From 3aab881c7331cf93ffd8d2f2dd9adfd18ed4fc99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Cooper Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2017 19:18:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/grant: Disallow misaligned PTEs Pagetable entries must be aligned to function correctly.
