Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Locate and Exploit Test APIs
    An attacker exploits a sample, demonstration, or test API that is insecure by default and should not be resident on production systems. Some applications include APIs that are intended to allow an administrator to test and refine their domain. These APIs should usually be disabled once a system enters a production environment. Testing APIs may expose a great deal of diagnostic information intended to aid an administrator, but which can also be used by an attacker to further refine their attack. Moreover, testing APIs may not have adequate security controls or may not have undergone rigorous testing since they were not intended for use in production environments. As such, they may have many flaws and vulnerabilities that would allow an attacker to severely disrupt a target.
  • Flooding
    An attacker consumes the resources of a target by rapidly engaging in a large number of interactions with the target. This type of attack generally exposes a weakness in rate limiting or flow control in management of interactions. Since each request consumes some of the target's resources, if a sufficiently large number of requests must be processed at the same time then the target's resources can be exhausted. The degree to which the attack is successful depends upon the volume of requests in relation to the amount of the resource the target has access to, and other mitigating circumstances such as the target's ability to shift load or acquired additional resources to deal with the depletion. The more protected the resource and the greater the quantity of it that must be consumed, the more resources the attacker may need to have at their disposal. A typical TCP/IP flooding attack is a Distributed Denial-of-Service attack where many machines simultaneously make a large number of requests to a target. Against a target with strong defenses and a large pool of resources, many tens of thousands of attacking machines may be required. When successful this attack prevents legitimate users from accessing the service and can cause the target to crash. This attack differs from resource depletion through leaks or allocations in that the latter attacks do not rely on the volume of requests made to the target but instead focus on manipulation of the target's operations. The key factor in a flooding attack is the number of requests the attacker can make in a given period of time. The greater this number, the more likely an attack is to succeed against a given target.
  • Excessive Allocation
    An attacker causes the target to allocate excessive resources to servicing the attackers' request, thereby reducing the resources available for legitimate services and degrading or denying services. Usually, this attack focuses on memory allocation, but any finite resource on the target could be the attacked, including bandwidth, processing cycles, or other resources. This attack does not attempt to force this allocation through a large number of requests (that would be Resource Depletion through Flooding) but instead uses one or a small number of requests that are carefully formatted to force the target to allocate excessive resources to service this request(s). Often this attack takes advantage of a bug in the target to cause the target to allocate resources vastly beyond what would be needed for a normal request. For example, using an Integer Attack, the attacker could cause a variable that controls allocation for a request to hold an excessively large value. Excessive allocation of resources can render a service degraded or unavailable to legitimate users and can even lead to crashing of the target.
  • XML Ping of the Death
    An attacker initiates a resource depletion attack where a large number of small XML messages are delivered at a sufficiently rapid rate to cause a denial of service or crash of the target. Transactions such as repetitive SOAP transactions can deplete resources faster than a simple flooding attack because of the additional resources used by the SOAP protocol and the resources necessary to process SOAP messages. The transactions used are immaterial as long as they cause resource utilization on the target. In other words, this is a normal flooding attack augmented by using messages that will require extra processing on the target.
  • XML Entity Expansion
    An attacker submits an XML document to a target application where the XML document uses nested entity expansion to produce an excessively large output XML. XML allows the definition of macro-like structures that can be used to simplify the creation of complex structures. However, this capability can be abused to create excessive demands on a processor's CPU and memory. A small number of nested expansions can result in an exponential growth in demands on memory.

"The version of Mozilla Firefox installed on the remote Windows host
is prior to 51.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities :

  - Mozilla developers and community members Christian
    Holler, Gary Kwong, Andre Bargull, Jan de Mooij, Tom
    Schuster, and Oriol reported memory safety bugs present
    in Firefox 50.1 and Firefox ESR 45.6. Some of these
    bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we
    presume that with enough effort that some of these
    could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5373)

  - Mozilla developers and community members Gary Kwong,
    Olli Pettay, Tooru Fujisawa, Carsten Book, Andrew
    McCreight, Chris Pearce, Ronald Crane, Jan de Mooij,
    Julian Seward, Nicolas Pierron, Randell Jesup, Esther

    safety bugs present in Firefox 50.1. Some of these bugs
    showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume
    that with enough effort that some of these could be
    exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5374)

  - JIT code allocation can allow for a bypass of ASLR and
    DEP protections leading to potential memory corruption
    attacks. (CVE-2017-5375)

  - Use-after-free while manipulating XSL in XSLT documents
    (CVE-2017-5376)

  - A memory corruption vulnerability in Skia that can
    occur when using transforms to make gradients,
    resulting in a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2017-5377)

  - Hashed codes of JavaScript objects are shared between
    pages. This allows for pointer leaks because an object's
    address can be discovered through hash codes, and also
    allows for data leakage of an object's content using
    these hash codes. (CVE-2017-5378)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in Web Animations when
    interacting with cycle collection found through
    fuzzing. (CVE-2017-5379)

  - A potential use-after-free found through fuzzing during
    DOM manipulation of SVG content. (CVE-2017-5380)

  - The 'export' function in the Certificate Viewer can
    force local filesystem navigation when the 'common
    name' in a certificate contains slashes, allowing
    certificate content to be saved in unsafe locations
    with an arbitrary filename. (CVE-2017-5381)

  - Feed preview for RSS feeds can be used to capture
    errors and exceptions generated by privileged content,
    allowing for the exposure of internal information not
    meant to be seen by web content. (CVE-2017-5382)

  - URLs containing certain unicode glyphs for alternative
    hyphens and quotes do not properly trigger punycode
    display, allowing for domain name spoofing attacks in
    the location bar. (CVE-2017-5383)

  - Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) files can specify a JavaScript
    function called for all URL requests with the full URL
    path which exposes more information than would be sent
    to the proxy itself in the case of HTTPS. Normally the
    Proxy Auto-Config file is specified by the user or
    machine owner and presumed to be non-malicious, but if
    a user has enabled Web Proxy Auto Detect (WPAD) this
    file can be served remotely. (CVE-2017-5384)

  - Data sent with in multipart channels, such as the
    multipart/x-mixed-replace MIME type, will ignore the
    referrer-policy response header, leading to potential
    information disclosure for sites using this header.
    (CVE-2017-5385)

  - WebExtension scripts can use the 'data:' protocol to
    affect pages loaded by other web extensions using this
    protocol, leading to potential data disclosure or
    privilege escalation in affected extensions.
    (CVE-2017-5386)

  - The existence of a specifically requested local file
    can be found due to the double firing of the 'onerror'
    when the 'source' attribute on a <track> tag refers to
    a file that does not exist if the source page is loaded
    locally. (CVE-2017-5387)

  - A STUN server in conjunction with a large number of
    'webkitRTCPeerConnection' objects can be used to send
    large STUN packets in a short period of time due to a
    lack of rate limiting being applied on e10s systems,
    allowing for a denial of service attack. (CVE-2017-5388)

  - WebExtensions could use the 'mozAddonManager' API by
    modifying the CSP headers on sites with the appropriate
    permissions and then using host requests to redirect
    script loads to a malicious site. This allows a
    malicious extension to then install additional
    extensions without explicit user permission.
    (CVE-2017-5389)

  - The JSON viewer in the Developer Tools uses insecure
    methods to create a communication channel for copying
    and viewing JSON or HTTP headers data, allowing for
    potential privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-5390)

  - Special 'about:' pages used by web content, such as RSS
    feeds, can load privileged 'about:' pages in an iframe.
    If a content-injection bug were found in one of those
    pages this could allow for potential privilege
    escalation. (CVE-2017-5391)

  - The 'mozAddonManager' allows for the installation of
    extensions from the CDN for addons.mozilla.org, a
    publicly accessible site. This could allow malicious
    extensions to install additional extensions from the CDN
    in combination with an XSS attack on Mozilla AMO sites.
    (CVE-2017-5393)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Media Decoder
    when working with media files when some events are
    fired after the media elements are freed from memory.

Atte Kettunen discovered a memory corruption issue in Skia
in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening
a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
exploit this to cause a denial of service via application
crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5377)

Jann Horn discovered that an object's address could be
discovered through hashed codes of JavaScript objects shared
between pages. If a user were tricked in to opening a
specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
exploit this to obtain sensitive information.
(CVE-2017-5378)

A use-after-free was discovered in Web Animations in some
circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a
specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
exploit this to cause a denial of service via application
crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5379)

A use-after-free was discovered during DOM manipulation of
SVG content in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in
to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via
application crash, or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2017-5380)

Jann Horn discovered that the 'export' function in the
Certificate Viewer can force local filesystem navigation
when the Common Name contains slashes. If a user were
tricked in to exporting a specially crafted certificate, an
attacker could potentially exploit this to save content with
arbitrary filenames in unsafe locations. (CVE-2017-5381)

Jerri Rice discovered that the Feed preview for RSS feeds
can be used to capture errors and exceptions generated by
privileged content. An attacker could potentially exploit
this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2017-5382)

Armin Razmjou discovered that certain unicode glyphs do not
trigger punycode display. An attacker could potentially
exploit this to spoof the URL bar contents. (CVE-2017-5383)

Paul Stone and Alex Chapman discovered that the full URL
path is exposed to JavaScript functions specified by Proxy
Auto-Config (PAC) files. If a user has enabled Web Proxy
Auto Detect (WPAD), an attacker could potentially exploit
this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2017-5384)

Muneaki Nishimura discovered that data sent in multipart
channels will ignore the Referrer-Policy response headers.
An attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain
sensitive information. (CVE-2017-5385)

Muneaki Nishimura discovered that WebExtensions can affect
other extensions using the data: protocol. If a user were
tricked in to installing a specially crafted addon, an
attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive
information or gain additional privileges. (CVE-2017-5386)

Mustafa Hasan discovered that the existence of local files
can be determined using the <track> element. An attacker
could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive
information. (CVE-2017-5387)

Cullen Jennings discovered that WebRTC can be used to
generate large amounts of UDP traffic. An attacker could
potentially exploit this to conduct Distributed
Denial-of-Service (DDOS) attacks. (CVE-2017-5388)

Kris Maglione discovered that WebExtensions can use the
mozAddonManager API by modifying the CSP headers on sites
with the appropriate permissions and then using host
requests to redirect script loads to a malicious site. If a
user were tricked in to installing a specially crafted
addon, an attacker could potentially exploit this to install
additional addons without user permission. (CVE-2017-5389)

Jerri Rice discovered insecure communication methods in the
Dev Tools JSON Viewer. An attacker could potentially exploit
this to gain additional privileges. (CVE-2017-5390)

Jerri Rice discovered that about: pages used by content can
load privileged about: pages in iframes. An attacker could
potentially exploit this to gain additional privileges, in
combination with a content-injection bug in one of those
about: pages. (CVE-2017-5391)

Stuart Colville discovered that mozAddonManager allows for
the installation of extensions from the CDN for
addons.mozilla.org, a publicly accessible site. If a user
were tricked in to installing a specially crafted addon, an
attacker could potentially exploit this, in combination with
a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack on Mozilla's AMO sites,
to install additional addons. (CVE-2017-5393)

Filipe Gomes discovered a use-after-free in the media
decoder in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to
opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via

    descriptionThe version of Mozilla Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 51. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - Mozilla developers and community members Christian Holler, Gary Kwong, Andre Bargull, Jan de Mooij, Tom Schuster, and Oriol reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 50.1 and Firefox ESR 45.6. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5373) - Mozilla developers and community members Gary Kwong, Olli Pettay, Tooru Fujisawa, Carsten Book, Andrew McCreight, Chris Pearce, Ronald Crane, Jan de Mooij, Julian Seward, Nicolas Pierron, Randell Jesup, Esther Monchari, Honza Bambas, and Philipp reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 50.1. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5374) - JIT code allocation can allow for a bypass of ASLR and DEP protections leading to potential memory corruption attacks. (CVE-2017-5375) - Use-after-free while manipulating XSL in XSLT documents (CVE-2017-5376) - A memory corruption vulnerability in Skia that can occur when using transforms to make gradients, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2017-5377) - Hashed codes of JavaScript objects are shared between pages. This allows for pointer leaks because an object
