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.

"libplist is a library for reading and writing the Apple binary and XML

CVE-2017-5209

The base64decode function in base64.c allows attackers to obtain
sensitive information from process memory or cause a denial of service
(buffer over-read) via split encoded Apple Property List data.

CVE-2017-5545

The main function in plistutil.c allows attackers to obtain sensitive
information from process memory or cause a denial of service (buffer
over-read) via Apple Property List data that is too short.

CVE-2017-5834

The parse_dict_node function in bplist.c allows attackers to cause a
denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read and crash) via a crafted
file.

CVE-2017-5835

libplist allows attackers to cause a denial of service (large memory
allocation and crash) via vectors involving an offset size of zero.

CVE-2017-6435

The parse_string_node function in bplist.c allows local users to cause
a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted plist file.

CVE-2017-6436

The parse_string_node function in bplist.c allows local users to cause
a denial of service (memory allocation error) via a crafted plist
file.

CVE-2017-6439

Heap-based buffer overflow in the parse_string_node function in
bplist.c allows local users to cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds write) via a crafted plist file.

CVE-2017-7982

Integer overflow in the plist_from_bin function in bplist.c allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer
over-read and application crash) via a crafted plist file.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version
1.11-3+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libplist packages.

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the libplist package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - libplist allows attackers to cause a denial of service (large memory allocation and crash) via vectors involving an offset size of zero.(CVE-2017-5835) - The main function in plistutil.c in libimobiledevice libplist through 1.12 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory or cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) via Apple Property List data that is too short.(CVE-2017-5545) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
