Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Leveraging Race Conditions
    This attack targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The attacker can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance a race condition can occur while accessing a file, the attacker can trick the system by replacing the original file with his version and cause the system to read the malicious file.
  • Leveraging Time-of-Check and Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) Race Conditions
    This attack targets a race condition occurring between the time of check (state) for a resource and the time of use of a resource. The typical example is the file access. The attacker can leverage a file access race condition by "running the race", meaning that he would modify the resource between the first time the target program accesses the file and the time the target program uses the file. During that period of time, the attacker could do something such as replace the file and cause an escalation of privilege.

    descriptionThe remote Windows host is missing security update 4512578. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows Text Service Framework (TSF) when the TSF server process does not validate the source of input or commands it receives. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could inject commands or read input sent through a malicious Input Method Editor (IME). This only affects systems that have installed an IME. (CVE-2019-1235) - An information disclosure exists in the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver when it fails to properly handle sandbox checks. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read data outside their expected limits. (CVE-2019-1282) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel fails to properly initialize a memory address. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. (CVE-2019-1274) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Windows Hyper-V writes uninitialized memory to disk. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by reading a file to recover kernel memory. (CVE-2019-1254) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Update Delivery Optimization does not properly enforce file share permissions. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could overwrite files that require higher privileges than what the attacker already has. (CVE-2019-1289) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the .NET Framework common language runtime (CLR) allows file creation in arbitrary locations. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could write files to folders that require higher privileges than what the attacker already has. (CVE-2019-1142) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows Jet Database Engine improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on a victim system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a victim to open a specially crafted file. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way the Windows Jet Database Engine handles objects in memory. (CVE-2019-1240, CVE-2019-1241, CVE-2019-1242, CVE-2019-1243, CVE-2019-1246, CVE-2019-1247, CVE-2019-1248, CVE-2019-1249, CVE-2019-1250) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows store installer where WindowsApps directory is vulnerable to symbolic link attack. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass access restrictions to add or remove files. (CVE-2019-1270) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser where a configuration file, with local privileges, is vulnerable to symbolic link and hard link attacks. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context. An attacker could then install programs; view, change or delete data. (CVE-2019-1267) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC). An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the local system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2019-1269, CVE-2019-1272) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows that could allow remote code execution if a .LNK file is processed. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. (CVE-2019-1280) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Windows when the Windows SMB Client kernel-mode driver fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could potentially disclose contents of System memory. (CVE-2019-1293) - A cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists when Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) does not properly sanitize certain error messages. An authenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to an affected ADFS server. The attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could then perform cross-site scripting attacks on affected systems and run scripts in the security context of the current user. The attacks could allow the attacker to read content that the attacker is not authorized to read, use the victim

    creation in arbitrary locations. An attacker who
    successfully exploited this vulnerability could write
    files to folders that require higher privileges than
    what the attacker already has.  (CVE-2019-1142)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the
    Windows Jet Database Engine improperly handles objects
    in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this
    vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on a victim
    system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
    enticing a victim to open a specially crafted file. The

    (CVE-2019-1293)

  - A cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists when
    Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) does not
    properly sanitize certain error messages. An
    authenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability
    by sending a specially crafted request to an affected
    ADFS server. The attacker who successfully exploited the
    vulnerability could then perform cross-site scripting
    attacks on affected systems and run scripts in the
    security context of the current user. The attacks could
    allow the attacker to read content that the attacker is
    not authorized to read, use the victim's identity to
    take actions on the ADFS site on behalf of the user,
    such as change permissions and delete content, and
    inject malicious content in the browser of the user. The
    security update addresses the vulnerability by helping
    to ensure that ADFS error handling properly sanitizes
    error messages. (CVE-2019-1273)

    view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts
    with full user rights.  (CVE-2019-1256, CVE-2019-1285)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
    Windows AppX Deployment Server improperly handles
    junctions.  (CVE-2019-1253, CVE-2019-1303)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
    that the VBScript engine handles objects in memory. The
    vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an
    attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of
    the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited
    the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the
    current user.  (CVE-2019-1208, CVE-2019-1236)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the
    way that the Windows Network Connectivity Assistant
    handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully
    exploited the vulnerability could execute code with
    elevated permissions.  (CVE-2019-1287)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the
    Windows Remote Desktop Client when a user connects to a
    malicious server. An attacker who successfully exploited
    this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on the
    computer of the connecting client. An attacker could
    then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or
    create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2019-1290, CVE-2019-1291)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when
    Microsoft Browsers fail to validate the correct Security
    Zone of requests for specific URLs. This could allow an
    attacker to cause a user to access a URL in a less
    restricted Internet Security Zone than intended.
    (CVE-2019-1220)

  - An elevation of privilege exists when Winlogon does not
    properly handle file path information. An attacker who
    successfully exploited this vulnerability could run
    arbitrary code. An attacker could then install programs;
    view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts
    with full user rights.  (CVE-2019-1268)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
    Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver improperly
    handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an
    elevated context.  (CVE-2019-1214)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
    Windows GDI component improperly discloses the contents
    of its memory. An attacker who successfully exploited
    the vulnerability could obtain information to further
    compromise the users system. There are multiple ways an
    attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by
    convincing a user to open a specially crafted document,
    or by convincing a user to visit an untrusted webpage.
    The security update addresses the vulnerability by
    correcting how the Windows GDI component handles objects
    in memory. (CVE-2019-1252, CVE-2019-1286)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when
    DirectWrite improperly discloses the contents of its
    memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the
    vulnerability could obtain information to further
    compromise the users system. There are multiple ways an
    attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by
    convincing a user to open a specially crafted document,
    or by convincing a user to visit an untrusted webpage.
    The security update addresses the vulnerability by
    correcting how DirectWrite handles objects in memory.
    (CVE-2019-1244, CVE-2019-1245, CVE-2019-1251)

  - A security feature bypass exists when Windows Secure
    Boot improperly restricts access to debugging
    functionality. An attacker who successfully exploited
    this vulnerability could disclose protected kernel
    memory.  (CVE-2019-1294)

"The remote Windows host is missing security update 4515384.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in
    Windows Text Service Framework (TSF) when the TSF server
    process does not validate the source of input or
    commands it receives. An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could inject commands or
    read input sent through a malicious Input Method Editor
    (IME). This only affects systems that have installed an
    IME.  (CVE-2019-1235)

  - An information disclosure exists in the Windows Common
    Log File System (CLFS) driver when it fails to properly
    handle sandbox checks. An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could potentially read data
    outside their expected limits.  (CVE-2019-1282)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
    Windows kernel fails to properly initialize a memory
    address. An attacker who successfully exploited this
    vulnerability could obtain information to further
    compromise the users system.  (CVE-2019-1274)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when
    Windows Hyper-V writes uninitialized memory to disk. An
    attacker could exploit the vulnerability by reading a
    file to recover kernel memory.  (CVE-2019-1254)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
    Windows Update Delivery Optimization does not properly
    enforce file share permissions. An attacker who
    successfully exploited the vulnerability could overwrite
    files that require higher privileges than what the
    attacker already has.  (CVE-2019-1289)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
    .NET Framework common language runtime (CLR) allows file
    creation in arbitrary locations. An attacker who
    successfully exploited this vulnerability could write
    files to folders that require higher privileges than
    what the attacker already has.  (CVE-2019-1142)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the
    Windows Jet Database Engine improperly handles objects
    in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this
    vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on a victim
    system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
    enticing a victim to open a specially crafted file. The
    update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way
    the Windows Jet Database Engine handles objects in
    memory. (CVE-2019-1240, CVE-2019-1241, CVE-2019-1242,
    CVE-2019-1243, CVE-2019-1246, CVE-2019-1247,
    CVE-2019-1248, CVE-2019-1249, CVE-2019-1250)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in
    Windows store installer where WindowsApps directory is
    vulnerable to symbolic link attack. An attacker who
    successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass
    access restrictions to add or remove files.
    (CVE-2019-1270)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in
    Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser where a configuration
    file, with local privileges, is vulnerable to symbolic
    link and hard link attacks. An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an
    elevated context. An attacker could then install
    programs; view, change or delete data.  (CVE-2019-1267)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when
    Windows improperly handles calls to Advanced Local
    Procedure Call (ALPC). An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in
    the security context of the local system. An attacker
    could then install programs; view, change, or delete
    data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2019-1269, CVE-2019-1272)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in
    Microsoft Windows that could allow remote code execution
    if a .LNK file is processed. An attacker who
    successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the
    same user rights as the local user.  (CVE-2019-1280)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in
    Windows when the Windows SMB Client kernel-mode driver
    fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker
    who successfully exploited the vulnerability could
    potentially disclose contents of System memory.
    (CVE-2019-1293)

  - A cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists when
    Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) does not
    properly sanitize certain error messages. An
    authenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability
    by sending a specially crafted request to an affected
    ADFS server. The attacker who successfully exploited the
    vulnerability could then perform cross-site scripting
    attacks on affected systems and run scripts in the
    security context of the current user. The attacks could
    allow the attacker to read content that the attacker is
    not authorized to read, use the victim's identity to
    take actions on the ADFS site on behalf of the user,
    such as change permissions and delete content, and
    inject malicious content in the browser of the user. The
    security update addresses the vulnerability by helping
    to ensure that ADFS error handling properly sanitizes
    error messages. (CVE-2019-1273)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in
    Windows Audio Service when a malformed parameter is
    processed. An attacker who successfully exploited the
    vulnerability could run arbitrary code with elevated
    privileges when used in conjunction with another
    vulnerability.  (CVE-2019-1277)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
    Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector Service improperly
    impersonates certain file operations. An attacker who
    successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain
    elevated privileges. An attacker with unprivileged
    access to a vulnerable system could exploit this
    vulnerability. The security update addresses the
    vulnerability by ensuring the Diagnostics Hub Standard
    Collector Service properly impersonates file operations.
    (CVE-2019-1232)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in
    Windows when the Win32k component fails to properly
    handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in
    kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs;
    view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts
    with full user rights.  (CVE-2019-1256, CVE-2019-1285)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
    Windows AppX Deployment Server improperly handles
    junctions.  (CVE-2019-1253, CVE-2019-1303)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
    that the VBScript engine handles objects in memory. The
    vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an
    attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of
    the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited
    the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the
    current user.  (CVE-2019-1208, CVE-2019-1236)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the
    way that the Windows Network Connectivity Assistant
    handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully
    exploited the vulnerability could execute code with
    elevated permissions.  (CVE-2019-1287)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the
    Windows Remote Desktop Client when a user connects to a
    malicious server. An attacker who successfully exploited
    this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on the
    computer of the connecting client. An attacker could
    then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or
    create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2019-0787, CVE-2019-0788, CVE-2019-1290,
    CVE-2019-1291)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when
    Microsoft Browsers fail to validate the correct Security
    Zone of requests for specific URLs. This could allow an
    attacker to cause a user to access a URL in a less
    restricted Internet Security Zone than intended.
    (CVE-2019-1220)

  - An elevation of privilege exists when Winlogon does not
    properly handle file path information. An attacker who
    successfully exploited this vulnerability could run
    arbitrary code. An attacker could then install programs;
    view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts
    with full user rights.  (CVE-2019-1268)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
    Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver improperly
    handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an
    elevated context.  (CVE-2019-1214)

    Windows GDI component improperly discloses the contents
    of its memory. An attacker who successfully exploited
    the vulnerability could obtain information to further
    compromise the users system. There are multiple ways an
    attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by
    convincing a user to open a specially crafted document,
    or by convincing a user to visit an untrusted webpage.
    The security update addresses the vulnerability by
    correcting how the Windows GDI component handles objects
    in memory. (CVE-2019-1252, CVE-2019-1286)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when
    DirectWrite improperly discloses the contents of its
    memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the
    vulnerability could obtain information to further
    compromise the users system. There are multiple ways an
    attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by
    convincing a user to open a specially crafted document,
    or by convincing a user to visit an untrusted webpage.
    The security update addresses the vulnerability by
    correcting how DirectWrite handles objects in memory.
    (CVE-2019-1244, CVE-2019-1245, CVE-2019-1251)
