Summary

It was found that xorg-x11-server before 1.19.0 including uses memcmp() to check the received MIT cookie against a series of valid cookies. If the cookie is correct, it is allowed to attach to the Xorg session. Since most memcmp() implementations return after an invalid byte is seen, this causes a time difference between a valid and invalid byte, which could allow an efficient brute force attack.

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.

If the cookie is correct, it is allowed to attach to the Xorg session. Since most memcmp() implementations return after an invalid byte is seen, this causes a time difference between a valid and invalid byte, which could allow an efficient brute force attack.(CVE-2017-2624) - A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server before 1.20.3. An incorrect permission check for -modulepath and -logfile options when starting Xorg. X server allows unprivileged users with the ability to log in to the system via physical console to escalate their privileges and run arbitrary code under root privileges.(CVE-2018-14665) - In the X.Org X server before 2017-06-19, a user authenticated to an X Session could crash or execute code in the context of the X Server by exploiting a stack overflow in the endianness conversion of X Events.(CVE-2017-10971) - Uninitialized data in endianness conversion in the XEvent handling of the X.Org X Server before 2017-06-19 allowed authenticated malicious users to access potentially privileged data from the X server.(CVE-2017-10972) - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing extra length validation in ProcEstablishConnection function allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12176) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory.

  - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was vulnerable to integer
    overflow in (S)ProcXIBarrierReleasePointer functions
    allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash
    or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12179)

  - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length
    validation in XFree86 VidModeExtension allowing
    malicious X client to cause X server to crash or
    possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12180)

  - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length
    validation in XFree86 DGA extension allowing malicious
    X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute
    arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12181)

  - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length
    validation in XFree86 DRI extension allowing malicious
    X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute
    arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12182)

  - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length
    validation in XFIXES extension allowing malicious X
    client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute
    arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12183)

    validation in MIT-SCREEN-SAVER extension allowing
    malicious X client to cause X server to crash or
    possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12185)

  - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length
    validation in X-Resource extension allowing malicious X
    client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute
    arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12186)

  - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length
    validation in RENDER extension allowing malicious X
    client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute
    arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12187)

  - In X.Org Server (aka xserver and xorg-server) before
    1.19.4, an attacker authenticated to an X server with
    the X shared memory extension enabled can cause aborts
    of the X server or replace shared memory segments of
    other X clients in the same session.(CVE-2017-13721)

  - It was found that xorg-x11-server before 1.19.0
    including uses memcmp() to check the received MIT
    cookie against a series of valid cookies. If the cookie
    is correct, it is allowed to attach to the Xorg
    session. Since most memcmp() implementations return
    after an invalid byte is seen, this causes a time
    difference between a valid and invalid byte, which
    could allow an efficient brute force
    attack.(CVE-2017-2624)

  - A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server before 1.20.3. An
    incorrect permission check for -modulepath and -logfile
    options when starting Xorg. X server allows
    unprivileged users with the ability to log in to the
    system via physical console to escalate their
    privileges and run arbitrary code under root
    privileges.(CVE-2018-14665)

  - In the X.Org X server before 2017-06-19, a user
    authenticated to an X Session could crash or execute
    code in the context of the X Server by exploiting a
    stack overflow in the endianness conversion of X
    Events.(CVE-2017-10971)

  - Uninitialized data in endianness conversion in the
    XEvent handling of the X.Org X Server before 2017-06-19
    allowed authenticated malicious users to access
    potentially privileged data from the X
    server.(CVE-2017-10972)

  - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing extra length
    validation in ProcEstablishConnection function allowing
    malicious X client to cause X server to crash or
    possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12176)
