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.

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. This update adds mitigations for various side channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose content of otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032). - CVE-2017-5753: Local attackers on systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use attacker controllable speculative execution over code patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak content from otherwise not readable memory in the same address space, allowing retrieval of passwords, cryptographic keys and other secrets. This problem is mitigated by adding speculative fencing on affected code paths throughout the Linux kernel. This issue is addressed for the x86_64, the IBM Power and IBM zSeries architecture. - CVE-2017-5715: Local attackers on systems with modern CPUs featuring branch prediction could use mispredicted branches to speculatively execute code patterns that in turn could be made to leak other non-readable content in the same address space, an attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is mitigated by disabling predictive branches, depending on CPU architecture either by firmware updates and/or fixes in the user-kernel privilege boundaries. This is done with help of Linux Kernel fixes on the Intel/AMD x86_64 and IBM zSeries architectures. On x86_64, this requires also updates of the CPU microcode packages, delivered in separate updates. For IBM Power and zSeries the required firmware updates are supplied over regular channels by IBM. As this feature can have a performance impact, it can be disabled using the

    channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose content of
    otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032).
    
      - CVE-2017-5753: Local attackers on systems with modern
        CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use
        attacker controllable speculative execution over code
        patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak content from
        otherwise not readable memory in the same address space,

        speculative fencing on affected code paths throughout
        the Linux kernel. This issue is addressed for the
        x86_64, the IBM Power and IBM zSeries architecture.
    
      - CVE-2017-5715: Local attackers on systems with modern
        CPUs featuring branch prediction could use mispredicted
        branches to speculatively execute code patterns that in
        turn could be made to leak other non-readable content in
        the same address space, an attack similar to
        CVE-2017-5753. This problem is mitigated by disabling
        predictive branches, depending on CPU architecture
        either by firmware updates and/or fixes in the
        user-kernel privilege boundaries. This is done with help
        of Linux Kernel fixes on the Intel/AMD x86_64 and IBM
        zSeries architectures. On x86_64, this requires also
        updates of the CPU microcode packages, delivered in
        separate updates. For IBM Power and zSeries the required
        firmware updates are supplied over regular channels by
        IBM. As this feature can have a performance impact, it
        can be disabled using the 'nospec' kernel commandline
        option.
    
      - CVE-2017-5754: Local attackers on systems with modern
        CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use
        code patterns in userspace to speculative executive code
        that would read otherwise read protected memory, an
        attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is
        mitigated by unmapping the Linux Kernel from the user
        address space during user code execution, following a
        approach called 'KAISER'. The terms used here are
        'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page
        Table Isolation'. This update does this on the Intel
        x86_64 and IBM Power architecture. Updates are also
        necessary for the ARM architecture, but will be
        delivered in the next round of updates. This feature can
        be enabled / disabled by the 'pti=[on|off|auto]' or
        'nopti' commandline options. The following security bugs
        were fixed :
    
      - CVE-2017-17806: The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c)
        in the Linux kernel did not validate that the underlying
        cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed, allowing a
        local attacker able to use the AF_ALG-based hash
        interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3
        hash algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3) to cause a kernel
        stack-based buffer overflow by executing a crafted
        sequence of system calls that encounter a missing SHA-3
        initialization (bnc#1073874).
    
      - CVE-2017-17805: The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the
        Linux kernel did not correctly handle zero-length
        inputs, allowing a local attacker able to use the
        AF_ALG-based skcipher interface
        (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER) to cause a denial of
        service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or
        have unspecified other impact by executing a crafted
        sequence of system calls that use the blkcipher_walk
        API. Both the generic implementation
        (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation
        (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 were
        vulnerable (bnc#1073792).
    
      - CVE-2017-15868: The bnep_add_connection function in
        net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c in the Linux kernel did not
        ensure that an l2cap socket is available, which allowed
        local users to gain privileges via a crafted application
        (bnc#1071470).
    
      - CVE-2017-13167: An elevation of privilege vulnerability
        in the kernel sound timer. (bnc#1072876).
    
      - CVE-2017-16538: drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/lmedm04.c
        in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a
        denial of service (general protection fault and system
        crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
        crafted USB device, related to a missing warm-start
        check and incorrect attach timing
        (dm04_lme2510_frontend_attach versus dm04_lme2510_tuner)
        (bnc#1066569).
    
      - CVE-2017-17558: The usb_destroy_configuration function
        in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem
        in the Linux kernel did not consider the maximum number
        of configurations and interfaces before attempting to
        release resources, which allowed local users to cause a
        denial of service (out-of-bounds write access) or
        possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB
        device (bnc#1072561).
    
      - CVE-2017-17450: net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux
        kernel did not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for
        add_callback and remove_callback operations, which
        allowed local users to bypass intended access
        restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure
        is shared across all net namespaces (bnc#1071695).
    
      - CVE-2017-8824: The dccp_disconnect function in
        net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
        to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
        (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call
        during the DCCP_LISTEN state (bnc#1070771).
    
      - CVE-2017-16939: The XFRM dump policy implementation in
        net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
        users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
        (use-after-free) via a crafted SO_RCVBUF setsockopt
        system call in conjunction with XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY
        Netlink messages (bnc#1069702).
    
      - CVE-2017-15115: The sctp_do_peeloff function in
        net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not check
        whether the intended netns is used in a peel-off action,
        which allowed local users to cause a denial of service
        (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have
        unspecified other impact via crafted system calls
        (bnc#1068671).
    
      - CVE-2017-14106: The tcp_disconnect function in
        net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
        to cause a denial of service (__tcp_select_window
        divide-by-zero error and system crash) by triggering a
        disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path
        (bnc#1056982).
    
      - CVE-2017-11600: net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux
        kernel through 4.12.3, when CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is
        enabled, did not ensure that the dir value of
        xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which
        allowed local users to cause a denial of service
        (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified
        other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink
        message (bnc#1050231).
    
      - CVE-2017-7472: The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel
        allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory
        consumption) via a series of
        KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_THREAD_KEYRING keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring
        calls (bnc#1034862).
    
      - CVE-2017-16534: The cdc_parse_cdc_header function in
        drivers/usb/core/message.c in the Linux kernel allowed
        local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
        read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
        other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1066693).

    "The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 LTSS kernel was updated to receive
    various security and bugfixes. This update adds mitigations for
    various side channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose
    content of otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032).
    
      - CVE-2017-5753: Local attackers on systems with modern
        CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use
        attacker controllable speculative execution over code
        patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak content from
        otherwise not readable memory in the same address space,
        allowing retrieval of passwords, cryptographic keys and
        other secrets. This problem is mitigated by adding
        speculative fencing on affected code paths throughout
        the Linux kernel.
    
      - CVE-2017-5715: Local attackers on systems with modern
        CPUs featuring branch prediction could use mispredicted
        branches to speculatively execute code patterns that in
        turn could be made to leak other non-readable content in
        the same address space, an attack similar to
        CVE-2017-5753. This problem is mitigated by disabling
        predictive branches, depending on CPU architecture
        either by firmware updates and/or fixes in the
        user-kernel privilege boundaries. Please contact your
        CPU / hardware vendor for potential microcode or BIOS
        updates needed for this fix. As this feature can have a
        performance impact, it can be disabled using the
        'nospec' kernel commandline option.
    
      - CVE-2017-5754: Local attackers on systems with modern
        CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use
        code patterns in userspace to speculative executive code
        that would read otherwise read protected memory, an
        attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is
        mitigated by unmapping the Linux Kernel from the user
        address space during user code execution, following a
        approach called 'KAISER'. The terms used here are
        'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page
        Table Isolation'. This feature is disabled on unaffected
        architectures. This feature can be enabled / disabled by
        the 'pti=[on|off|auto]' or 'nopti' commandline options.
        The following security bugs were fixed :
    
      - CVE-2017-1000251: The native Bluetooth stack in the
        Linux Kernel (BlueZ) was vulnerable to a stack overflow
        vulnerability in the processing of L2CAP configuration
        responses resulting in Remote code execution in kernel
        space (bnc#1057389).
    
      - CVE-2017-11600: net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux
        kernel did not ensure that the dir value of
        xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which
        allowed local users to cause a denial of service
        (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified
        other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink
        message (bnc#1050231).
    
      - CVE-2017-13080: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2)
        allowed reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key (GTK)
        during the group key handshake, allowing an attacker
        within radio range to replay frames from access points
        to clients (bnc#1063667).
    
      - CVE-2017-13167: An elevation of privilege vulnerability
        in the kernel sound timer was fixed. (bnc#1072876).
    
      - CVE-2017-14106: The tcp_disconnect function in
        net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
        to cause a denial of service (__tcp_select_window
        divide-by-zero error and system crash) by triggering a
        disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path
        (bnc#1056982).
    
      - CVE-2017-14140: The move_pages system call in
        mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel didn't check the
        effective uid of the target process, enabling a local
        attacker to learn the memory layout of a setuid
        executable despite ASLR (bnc#1057179).
    
      - CVE-2017-14340: The XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE macro in
        fs/xfs/xfs_linux.h in the Linux kernel did not verify
        that a filesystem has a realtime device, which allowed
        local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
        dereference and OOPS) via vectors related to setting an
        RHINHERIT flag on a directory (bnc#1058524).
    
      - CVE-2017-15102: The tower_probe function in
        drivers/usb/misc/legousbtower.c in the Linux kernel
        allowed local users (who are physically proximate for
        inserting a crafted USB device) to gain privileges by
        leveraging a write-what-where condition that occurs
        after a race condition and a NULL pointer dereference
        (bnc#1066705).
    
      - CVE-2017-15115: The sctp_do_peeloff function in
        net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not check
        whether the intended netns is used in a peel-off action,
        which allowed local users to cause a denial of service
        (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have
        unspecified other impact via crafted system calls
        (bnc#1068671).
    
      - CVE-2017-15265: Race condition in the ALSA subsystem in
        the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial
        of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified
        other impact via crafted /dev/snd/seq ioctl calls,
        related to sound/core/seq/seq_clientmgr.c and
        sound/core/seq/seq_ports.c (bnc#1062520).
    
      - CVE-2017-15274: security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux
        kernel did not consider the case of a NULL payload in
        conjunction with a nonzero length value, which allowed
        local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
        dereference and OOPS) via a crafted add_key or keyctl

        in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a
        denial of service (general protection fault and system
        crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
        crafted USB device, related to a missing warm-start
        check and incorrect attach timing
        (dm04_lme2510_frontend_attach versus dm04_lme2510_tuner)
        (bnc#1066569).
    
      - CVE-2017-16649: The usbnet_generic_cdc_bind function in
        drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c in the Linux kernel allowed
        local users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero
        error and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
        other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1067085).
    
      - CVE-2017-16939: The XFRM dump policy implementation in
        net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
        users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
        (use-after-free) via a crafted SO_RCVBUF setsockopt
        system call in conjunction with XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY
        Netlink messages (bnc#1069702 1069708).
    
      - CVE-2017-17450: net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux
        kernel did not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for
        add_callback and remove_callback operations, which
        allowed local users to bypass intended access
        restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure
        is shared across all net namespaces (bnc#1071695
        1074033).
    
      - CVE-2017-17558: The usb_destroy_configuration function
        in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem
        in the Linux kernel did not consider the maximum number
        of configurations and interfaces before attempting to
        release resources, which allowed local users to cause a
        denial of service (out-of-bounds write access) or
        possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB
        device (bnc#1072561).
    
      - CVE-2017-17805: The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the
        Linux kernel did not correctly handle zero-length
        inputs, allowing a local attacker able to use the
        AF_ALG-based skcipher interface
        (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER) to cause a denial of
        service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or
        have unspecified other impact by executing a crafted
        sequence of system calls that use the blkcipher_walk
        API. Both the generic implementation
        (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation
        (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 were
        vulnerable (bnc#1073792).
    
      - CVE-2017-17806: The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c)
        in the Linux kernel did not validate that the underlying
        cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed, allowing a
        local attacker able to use the AF_ALG-based hash
        interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3
        hash algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3) to cause a kernel
        stack-based buffer overflow by executing a crafted
        sequence of system calls that encounter a missing SHA-3
        initialization (bnc#1073874).
    
      - CVE-2017-7472: The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel
        allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory
        consumption) via a series of
        KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_THREAD_KEYRING keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring
        calls (bnc#1034862).
    
      - CVE-2017-8824: The dccp_disconnect function in
        net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
        to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
        (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call
        during the DCCP_LISTEN state (bnc#1070771).

    descriptionUSN-3485-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the ALSA subsystem of the Linux kernel when creating and deleting a port via ioctl(). A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-15265) Eric Biggers discovered that the key management subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict adding a key that already exists but is uninstantiated. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-15299) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the packet fanout 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-2017-15649) Eric Biggers discovered a race condition in the key management subsystem of the Linux kernel around keys in a negative state. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-15951) Andrey Konovalov discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the USB serial console driver in the Linux kernel. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16525) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the Ultra Wide Band driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for an error condition. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16526) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16527) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate USB audio buffer descriptors. A physically proximate attacker could use this cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16529) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the USB unattached storage driver in the Linux kernel contained out-of-bounds error when handling alternative settings. A physically proximate attacker could use to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16530) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate USB interface association descriptors. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16531) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate USB HID descriptors. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16533) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate CDC metadata. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-16534) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate USB BOS metadata. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16535). 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.
