Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • 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.
  • Inducing Account Lockout
    An attacker leverages the security functionality of the system aimed at thwarting potential attacks to launch a denial of service attack against a legitimate system user. Many systems, for instance, implement a password throttling mechanism that locks an account after a certain number of incorrect log in attempts. An attacker can leverage this throttling mechanism to lock a legitimate user out of their own account. The weakness that is being leveraged by an attacker is the very security feature that has been put in place to counteract attacks.
  • Violating Implicit Assumptions Regarding XML Content (aka XML Denial of Service (XDoS))
    XML Denial of Service (XDoS) can be applied to any technology that utilizes XML data. This is, of course, most distributed systems technology including Java, .Net, databases, and so on. XDoS is most closely associated with web services, SOAP, and Rest, because remote service requesters can post malicious XML payloads to the service provider designed to exhaust the service provider's memory, CPU, and/or disk space. The main weakness in XDoS is that the service provider generally must inspect, parse, and validate the XML messages to determine routing, workflow, security considerations, and so on. It is exactly these inspection, parsing, and validation routines that XDoS targets. There are three primary attack vectors that XDoS can navigate Target CPU through recursion: attacker creates a recursive payload and sends to service provider Target memory through jumbo payloads: service provider uses DOM to parse XML. DOM creates in memory representation of XML document, but when document is very large (for example, north of 1 Gb) service provider host may exhaust memory trying to build memory objects. XML Ping of death: attack service provider with numerous small files that clog the system. All of the above attacks exploit the loosely coupled nature of web services, where the service provider has little to no control over the service requester and any messages the service requester sends.

"This update for xen fixes several issues. These security issues were
fixed :

  - CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5754: Prevent
    information leaks via side effects of speculative
    execution, aka 'Spectre' and 'Meltdown' attacks
    (bsc#1074562, bsc#1068032)

  - CVE-2018-5683: The vga_draw_text function allowed local
    OS guest privileged users to cause a denial of service
    (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process crash) by
    leveraging improper memory address validation
    (bsc#1076116).

  - CVE-2017-18030: The cirrus_invalidate_region function
    allowed local OS guest privileged users to cause a
    denial of service (out-of-bounds array access and QEMU
    process crash) via vectors related to negative pitch
    (bsc#1076180).

  - CVE-2017-15595: x86 PV guest OS users were able to cause
    a DoS (unbounded recursion, stack consumption, and
    hypervisor crash) or possibly gain privileges via
    crafted page-table stacking (bsc#1061081)

  - CVE-2017-17566: Prevent PV guest OS users to cause a
    denial of service (host OS crash) or gain host OS
    privileges in shadow mode by mapping a certain auxiliary
    page (bsc#1070158).

  - CVE-2017-17563: Prevent guest OS users to cause a denial
    of service (host OS crash) or gain host OS privileges by
    leveraging an incorrect mask for reference-count
    overflow checking in shadow mode (bsc#1070159).

  - CVE-2017-17564: Prevent guest OS users to cause a denial
    of service (host OS crash) or gain host OS privileges by
    leveraging incorrect error handling for reference
    counting in shadow mode (bsc#1070160).

  - CVE-2017-17565: Prevent PV guest OS users to cause a
    denial of service (host OS crash) if shadow mode and
    log-dirty mode are in place, because of an incorrect
    assertion related to M2P (bsc#1070163).

  - Added missing intermediate preemption checks for guest
    requesting removal of memory. This allowed malicious
    guest administrator to cause denial of service due to
    the high cost of this operation (bsc#1080635).

  - Because of XEN not returning the proper error messages
    when transitioning grant tables from v2 to v1 a
    malicious guest was able to cause DoS or potentially
    allowed for privilege escalation as well as information
    leaks (bsc#1080662).

  - CVE-2017-5898: The CCID Card device emulator support was
    vulnerable to an integer overflow flaw allowing a
    privileged user to crash the Qemu process on the host
    resulting in DoS (bsc#1024307)

  - Unprivileged domains could have issued well-timed writes
    to xenstore which conflict with transactions to stall
    progress of the control domain or driver domain,
    possibly leading to DoS (bsc#1030144, XSA-206).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
