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.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2942, CVE-2017-2945, CVE-2017-2959) - A heap buffer overflow condition exists when handling JPEG2000 images due to improper validation of unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2946) - An unspecified security bypass vulnerability exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2017-2947) - Multiple overflow conditions exist due to improper validation of unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to execute arbitrary code.

(CVE-2017-2949) - Multiple use-after-free memory errors exist when handling XFA subform layouts, hyphenation objects, field font sizes, and template objects. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to execute arbitrary code.

(CVE-2017-2955, CVE-2017-2956, CVE-2017-2957, CVE-2017-2958) - Multiple memory corruption issues exist when handling JPEG and TIFF files due to improper validation of unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2960, CVE-2017-2963, CVE-2017-2964, CVE-2017-2965) - A type confusion error exists when handling the XSLT lang() function that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2962) - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the ImageConversion component when handling TIFF images() due to improper validation of unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2966) - A buffer overflow condition exists in the JPEG2000 parser due to improper validation of unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-3009) - A memory corruption issue exists in the Rendering engine due to improper validation of unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
