Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • HTTP DoS
    An attacker performs flooding at the HTTP level to bring down only a particular web application rather than anything listening on a TCP/IP connection. This denial of service attack requires substantially fewer packets to be sent which makes DoS harder to detect. This is an equivalent of SYN flood in HTTP. The idea is to keep the HTTP session alive indefinitely and then repeat that hundreds of times. This attack targets resource depletion weaknesses in web server software. The web server will wait to attacker's responses on the initiated HTTP sessions while the connection threads are being exhausted.

        index was not validated, which allowed remote attackers
        to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or
        possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
        file, as demonstrated by objcopy of a COFF object
        (bsc#1081527).
    
      - CVE-2018-7570: The
        assign_file_positions_for_non_load_sections function in
        the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd)
        allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
        (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an
        ELF file with a RELRO segment that lacks a matching LOAD
        segment, as demonstrated by objcopy (bsc#1083528).
    
      - CVE-2018-7569: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library

        demonstrated by objdump (bsc#1086784).
    
      - CVE-2018-7642: The swap_std_reloc_in function in the
        Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd)
        allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
        (aout_32_swap_std_reloc_out NULL pointer dereference and
        application crash) via a crafted ELF file, as
        demonstrated by objcopy (bsc#1086786).
    
      - CVE-2018-7568: The parse_die function in the Binary File
        Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) allowed remote
        attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow
        and application crash) via an ELF file with corrupt
        dwarf1 debug information, as demonstrated by nm
        (bsc#1086788).
    
      - CVE-2018-10373: concat_filename in the Binary File

        not validate the output_section pointer in the case of a
        symtab entry with a 'SECTION' type that has a '0' value,
        which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
        service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash)
        via a crafted file, as demonstrated by objcopy
        (bsc#1091365).

        _bfd_XX_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data_common function in the
        Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd)
        processesed a negative Data Directory size with an
        unbounded loop that increased the value of
        (external_IMAGE_DEBUG_DIRECTORY) *edd so that the
        address exceeded its own memory region, resulting in an
        out-of-bounds memory write, as demonstrated by objcopy
        copying private info with
        _bfd_pex64_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data_common in
        pex64igen.c (bsc#1091368).
    
    These non-security issues were fixed :
    
      - The AArch64 port now supports showing disassembly notes
        which are emitted when inconsistencies are found with
        the instruction that may result in the instruction being
        invalid. These can be turned on with the option -M notes
        to objdump.
    
      - The AArch64 port now emits warnings when a combination
        of an instruction and a named register could be invalid.
    
      - Added O modifier to ar to display member offsets inside
        an archive
    
      - The ADR and ADRL pseudo-instructions supported by the
        ARM assembler now only set the bottom bit of the address
        of thumb function symbols if the -mthumb-interwork
        command line option is active.
    
      - Add --generate-missing-build-notes=[yes|no] option to
        create (or not) GNU Build Attribute notes if none are
        present in the input sources. Add a
    
        --enable-generate-build-notes=[yes|no] configure time
        option to set the default behaviour. Set the default if
        the configure option is not used to 'no'.
    
      - Remove -mold-gcc command-line option for x86 targets.
    
      - Add -O[2|s] command-line options to x86 assembler to
        enable alternate shorter instruction encoding.
    
      - Add support for .nops directive. It is currently
        supported only for x86 targets.
    
      - Speed up direct linking with DLLs for Cygwin and Mingw
        targets.
    
      - Add a configure option --enable-separate-code to decide
        whether
    
        -z separate-code should be enabled in ELF linker by
        default. Default to yes for Linux/x86 targets. Note that
        -z separate-code can increase disk and memory size.
    
      - RISC-V: Fix symbol address problem with versioned
        symbols 
    
      - Restore riscv64-elf cross prefix via symlinks
    
      - RISC-V: Don't enable relaxation in relocatable link
    
      - Prevent linking faiures on i386 with assertion
        (bsc#1085784)
    
      - Fix symbol size bug when relaxation deletes bytes
    
      - Add --debug-dump=links option to readelf and
        --dwarf=links option to objdump which displays the
        contents of any .gnu_debuglink or .gnu_debugaltlink
        sections. Add a --debug-dump=follow-links option to
        readelf and a --dwarf=follow-links option to objdump
        which causes indirect links into separate debug info
        files to be followed when dumping other DWARF sections.
    
      - Add support for loaction views in DWARF debug line
        information.
    
      - Add -z separate-code to generate separate code PT_LOAD
        segment.
    
      - Add '-z undefs' command line option as the inverse of
        the '-z defs' option.
    
      - Add -z globalaudit command line option to force audit
        libraries to be run for every dynamic object loaded by
        an executable - provided that the loader supports this
        functionality.
    
      - Tighten linker script grammar around file name
        specifiers to prevent the use of SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT and
        SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY on filenames. These would
        previously be accepted but had no effect.
    
      - The EXCLUDE_FILE directive can now be placed within any
        SORT_* directive within input section lists.
    
      - Fix linker relaxation with --wrap
    
      - Add arm-none-eabi symlinks (bsc#1074741)
    
    Former updates of binutils also fixed the following security issues,
    for which there was not CVE assigned at the time the update was
    released or no mapping between code change and CVE existed :
    
      - CVE-2014-9939: Prevent stack-based buffer overflow when
        printing bad bytes in Intel Hex objects (bsc#1030296).
    
      - CVE-2017-7225: The find_nearest_line function in
        addr2line did not handle the case where the main file
        name and the directory name are both empty, triggering a
        NULL pointer dereference and an invalid write, and
        leading to a program crash (bsc#1030585).
    
      - CVE-2017-7224: The find_nearest_line function in objdump
        was vulnerable to an invalid write (of size 1) while
        disassembling a corrupt binary that contains an empty
        function name, leading to a program crash (bsc#1030588).
    
      - CVE-2017-7223: GNU assembler in was vulnerable to a
        global buffer overflow (of size 1) while attempting to
        unget an EOF character from the input stream,
        potentially leading to a program crash (bsc#1030589).
    
      - CVE-2017-7226: The pe_ILF_object_p function in the
        Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) was
        vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read of size 4049
        because it used the strlen function instead of strnlen,
        leading to program crashes in several utilities such as
        addr2line, size, and strings. It could lead to
        information disclosure as well (bsc#1030584).
    
      - CVE-2017-7299: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library
        (aka libbfd) had an invalid read (of size 8) because the
        code to emit relocs (bfd_elf_final_link function in
        bfd/elflink.c) did not check the format of the input
        file trying to read the ELF reloc section header. The
        vulnerability leads to a GNU linker (ld) program crash
        (bsc#1031644).
    
      - CVE-2017-7300: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library
        (aka libbfd) had an aout_link_add_symbols function in
        bfd/aoutx.h that is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer
        over-read (off-by-one) because of an incomplete check
        for invalid string offsets while loading symbols,
        leading to a GNU linker (ld) program crash
        (bsc#1031656).
    
      - CVE-2017-7302: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library
        (aka libbfd) had a swap_std_reloc_out function in
        bfd/aoutx.h that is vulnerable to an invalid read (of
        size 4) because of missing checks for relocs that could
        not be recognised. This vulnerability caused Binutils
        utilities like strip to crash (bsc#1031595).
    
      - CVE-2017-7303: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library
        (aka libbfd) was vulnerable to an invalid read (of size
        4) because of missing a check (in the find_link
        function) for null headers attempting to match them.
        This vulnerability caused Binutils utilities like strip
        to crash (bsc#1031593).
    
      - CVE-2017-7301: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library
        (aka libbfd) had an aout_link_add_symbols function in
        bfd/aoutx.h that has an off-by-one vulnerability because
        it did not carefully check the string offset. The
        vulnerability could lead to a GNU linker (ld) program
        crash (bsc#1031638).
    
      - CVE-2017-7304: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library
        (aka libbfd) was vulnerable to an invalid read (of size
        8) because of missing a check (in the
        copy_special_section_fields function) for an invalid
        sh_link field attempting to follow it. This
        vulnerability caused Binutils utilities like strip to
        crash (bsc#1031590).
    
      - CVE-2017-8392: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library
        (aka libbfd) was vulnerable to an invalid read of size 8
        because of missing a check to determine whether symbols
        are NULL in the _bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line function.
        This vulnerability caused programs that conduct an
        analysis of binary programs using the libbfd library,
        such as objdump, to crash (bsc#1037052).
    
      - CVE-2017-8393: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library
        (aka libbfd) was vulnerable to a global buffer over-read
        error because of an assumption made by code that runs
        for objcopy and strip, that SHT_REL/SHR_RELA sections
        are always named starting with a .rel/.rela prefix. This
        vulnerability caused programs that conduct an analysis
        of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as
        objcopy and strip, to crash (bsc#1037057).
    
      - CVE-2017-8394: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library
        (aka libbfd) was vulnerable to an invalid read of size 4
        due to NULL pointer dereferencing of
        _bfd_elf_large_com_section. This vulnerability caused
        programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs
        using the libbfd library, such as objcopy, to crash
        (bsc#1037061).
    
      - CVE-2017-8396: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library
        (aka libbfd) was vulnerable to an invalid read of size 1
        because the existing reloc offset range tests didn't
        catch small negative offsets less than the size of the
        reloc field. This vulnerability caused programs that
        conduct an analysis of binary programs using the libbfd
        library, such as objdump, to crash (bsc#1037066).
    
      - CVE-2017-8421: The function coff_set_alignment_hook in
        Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) had a
        memory leak vulnerability which can cause memory
        exhaustion in objdump via a crafted PE file
        (bsc#1037273).
    
      - CVE-2017-9746: The disassemble_bytes function in
        objdump.c allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
        service (buffer overflow and application crash) or
        possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
        binary file, as demonstrated by mishandling of rae insns
        printing for this file during 'objdump
    
        -D' execution (bsc#1044891).
    
      - CVE-2017-9747: The ieee_archive_p function in the Binary
        File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) might have
        allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
        (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have
        unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file, as
        demonstrated by mishandling of this file during 'objdump
        -D' execution (bsc#1044897).
    
      - CVE-2017-9748: The ieee_object_p function in the Binary
        File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) might have
        allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
        (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have
        unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file, as
        demonstrated by mishandling of this file during 'objdump
        -D' execution (bsc#1044901).
    
      - CVE-2017-9750: opcodes/rx-decode.opc lacked bounds
        checks for certain scale arrays, which allowed remote
        attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow
        and application crash) or possibly have unspecified
        other impact via a crafted binary file, as demonstrated
        by mishandling of this file during 'objdump -D'
        execution (bsc#1044909).
    
      - CVE-2017-9755: Not considering the the number of
        registers for bnd mode allowed remote attackers to cause
        a denial of service (buffer overflow and application
        crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
        crafted binary file, as demonstrated by mishandling of
        this file during 'objdump -D' execution (bsc#1044925).
    
      - CVE-2017-9756: The aarch64_ext_ldst_reglist function
        allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
        (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have
        unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file, as
        demonstrated by mishandling of this file during 'objdump
        -D' execution (bsc#1044927).
    
      - CVE-2017-7209: The dump_section_as_bytes function in
        readelf accessed a NULL pointer while reading section
        contents in a corrupt binary, leading to a program crash
        (bsc#1030298).
    
      - CVE-2017-6965: readelf wrote to illegal addresses while
        processing corrupt input files containing
        symbol-difference relocations, leading to a heap-based
        buffer overflow (bsc#1029909).
    
      - CVE-2017-6966: readelf had a use-after-free
        (specifically read-after-free) error while processing
        multiple, relocated sections in an MSP430 binary. This
        is caused by mishandling of an invalid symbol index, and
        mishandling of state across invocations (bsc#1029908).
    
      - CVE-2017-6969: readelf was vulnerable to a heap-based
        buffer over-read while processing corrupt RL78 binaries.
        The vulnerability can trigger program crashes. It may
        lead to an information leak as well (bsc#1029907).
    
      - CVE-2017-7210: objdump was vulnerable to multiple
        heap-based buffer over-reads (of size 1 and size 8)
        while handling corrupt STABS enum type strings in a

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the binutils packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - The function coff_set_alignment_hook in coffcode.h in Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has a memory leak vulnerability which can cause memory exhaustion in objdump via a crafted PE file. Additional validation in dump_relocs_in_section in objdump.c can resolve this.(CVE-2017-8421) - The elf_object_p function in elfcode.h in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, has an unsigned integer overflow because bfd_size_type multiplication is not used. A crafted ELF file allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.(CVE-2018-6323) 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.

    descriptionThis update for binutils to 2.31 fixes the following issues : These security issues were fixed : CVE-2017-15996: readelf allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file that triggered a buffer overflow on fuzzed archive header (bsc#1065643). CVE-2017-15939: Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) mishandled NULL files in a .debug_line file table, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted ELF file, related to concat_filename (bsc#1065689). CVE-2017-15938: the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) miscalculated DW_FORM_ref_addr die refs in the case of a relocatable object file, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (find_abstract_instance_name invalid memory read, segmentation fault, and application crash) (bsc#1065693). CVE-2017-16826: The coff_slurp_line_table function the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file (bsc#1068640). CVE-2017-16832: The pe_bfd_read_buildid function in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did not validate size and offset values in the data dictionary, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file (bsc#1068643). CVE-2017-16831: Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did not validate the symbol count, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and application crash, or excessive memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file (bsc#1068887). CVE-2017-16830: The print_gnu_property_note function did not have integer-overflow protection on 32-bit platforms, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file (bsc#1068888). CVE-2017-16829: The _bfd_elf_parse_gnu_properties function in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did not prevent negative pointers, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file (bsc#1068950). CVE-2017-16828: The display_debug_frames function allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and heap-based buffer over-read, and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file (bsc#1069176). CVE-2017-16827: The aout_get_external_symbols function in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (slurp_symtab invalid free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file (bsc#1069202). CVE-2018-6323: The elf_object_p function in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) had an unsigned integer overflow because bfd_size_type multiplication is not used. A crafted ELF file allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact (bsc#1077745). CVE-2018-6543: Prevent integer overflow in the function load_specific_debug_section() which resulted in `malloc()` with 0 size. A crafted ELF file allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact (bsc#1079103). CVE-2018-6759: The bfd_get_debug_link_info_1 function in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) had an unchecked strnlen operation. Remote attackers could have leveraged this vulnerability to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a crafted ELF file (bsc#1079741). CVE-2018-6872: The elf_parse_notes function in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and segmentation violation) via a note with a large alignment (bsc#1080556). CVE-2018-7208: In the coff_pointerize_aux function in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) an index was not validated, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file, as demonstrated by objcopy of a COFF object (bsc#1081527).

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the binutils packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - The function coff_set_alignment_hook in coffcode.h in Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has a memory leak vulnerability which can cause memory exhaustion in objdump via a crafted PE file. Additional validation in dump_relocs_in_section in objdump.c can resolve this.(CVE-2017-8421) - The elf_object_p function in elfcode.h in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, has an unsigned integer overflow because bfd_size_type multiplication is not used. A crafted ELF file allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.(CVE-2018-6323) 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.
