Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

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 version of Mozilla Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 54. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website. (CVE-2017-5470, CVE-2017-5471) - A use-after-free error exists in the EndUpdate() function in nsCSSFrameConstructor.cpp that is triggered when reconstructing trees during regeneration of CSS layouts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5472) - A use-after-free error exists in the Reload() function in nsDocShell.cpp that is triggered when using an incorrect URL during the reload of a docshell. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7749) - A use-after-free error exists in the Hide() function in nsDocumentViewer.cpp that is triggered when handling track elements. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7750) - A use-after-free error exists in the nsDocumentViewer class in nsDocumentViewer.cpp that is triggered when handling content viewer listeners. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7751) - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when handling events while specific user interaction occurs with the input method editor (IME). An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7752) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the IsComplete() function in WebGLTexture.cpp that is triggered when handling textures. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose memory contents. (CVE-2017-7754) - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to improper loading of dynamic-link library (DLL) files. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted DLL file in the installation path, to inject and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7755) - A use-after-free error exists in the SetRequestHead() function in XMLHttpRequestMainThread.cpp that is triggered when logging XML HTTP Requests (XHR). An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7756) - A use-after-free error exists in ActorsParent.cpp due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7757) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the AppendAudioSegment() function in TrackEncoder.cpp that is triggered when the number of channels in an audio stream changes while the Opus encoder is in use. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-7758) - A flaw exists in the NS_main() function in updater.cpp due to improper validation of input when handling callback file path parameters. A local attacker can exploit this to manipulate files in the installation directory. (CVE-2017-7760) - A flaw exists in the Maintenance Service helper.exe application that is triggered as permissions for a temporary directory are set to writable by non-privileged users. A local attacker can exploit this to delete arbitrary files on the system. (CVE-2017-7761) - A flaw exists that is triggered when displaying URLs including authentication sections in reader mode. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted URL, to spoof domains in the address bar. (CVE-2017-7762) - A flaw exists in the ReadCMAP() function in gfxMacPlatformFontList.mm that is triggered when handling tibetan characters in combination with macOS fonts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted IDN domain, to spoof a valid URL. (CVE-2017-7763) - A flaw exists in the isLabelSafe() function in nsIDNService.cpp that is triggered when handling characters from different unicode blocks. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted IDN domain, to spoof a valid URL and conduct phishing attacks. (CVE-2017-7764) - Multiple integer overflow conditions exist in the Graphite component in the decompress() function in Decompressor.cpp due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7772, CVE-2017-7778) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the Graphite component in the readGraphite() function in Silf.cpp. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or disclose memory contents. (CVE-2017-7774) - An assertion flaw exists in the Graphite component when handling zero value sizes. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-7775) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the Graphite component in getClassGlyph() function in Silf.cpp due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-7776) - A flaw exists in the Graphite component in the read_glyph() function in GlyphCache.cpp related to use of uninitialized memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2017-7777)

    descriptionThe version of Mozilla Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 54. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website. (CVE-2017-5470, CVE-2017-5471) - A use-after-free error exists in the EndUpdate() function in nsCSSFrameConstructor.cpp that is triggered when reconstructing trees during regeneration of CSS layouts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5472) - A use-after-free error exists in the Reload() function in nsDocShell.cpp that is triggered when using an incorrect URL during the reload of a docshell. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7749) - A use-after-free error exists in the Hide() function in nsDocumentViewer.cpp that is triggered when handling track elements. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7750) - A use-after-free error exists in the nsDocumentViewer class in nsDocumentViewer.cpp that is triggered when handling content viewer listeners. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7751) - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when handling events while specific user interaction occurs with the input method editor (IME). An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7752) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the IsComplete() function in WebGLTexture.cpp that is triggered when handling textures. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose memory contents. (CVE-2017-7754) - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to improper loading of dynamic-link library (DLL) files. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted DLL file in the installation path, to inject and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7755) - A use-after-free error exists in the SetRequestHead() function in XMLHttpRequestMainThread.cpp that is triggered when logging XML HTTP Requests (XHR). An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7756) - A use-after-free error exists in ActorsParent.cpp due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7757) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the AppendAudioSegment() function in TrackEncoder.cpp that is triggered when the number of channels in an audio stream changes while the Opus encoder is in use. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-7758) - A flaw exists in the NS_main() function in updater.cpp due to improper validation of input when handling callback file path parameters. A local attacker can exploit this to manipulate files in the installation directory. (CVE-2017-7760) - A flaw exists in the Maintenance Service helper.exe application that is triggered as permissions for a temporary directory are set to writable by non-privileged users. A local attacker can exploit this to delete arbitrary files on the system. (CVE-2017-7761) - A flaw exists that is triggered when displaying URLs including authentication sections in reader mode. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted URL, to spoof domains in the address bar. (CVE-2017-7762) - A flaw exists in the isLabelSafe() function in nsIDNService.cpp that is triggered when handling characters from different unicode blocks. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted IDN domain, to spoof a valid URL and conduct phishing attacks. (CVE-2017-7764) - A flaw exists that is triggered due to improper parsing of long filenames when handling downloaded files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a file to be downloaded without the
