CVE-1999-0674 : Détail

Le modèle EPSS produit un score de probabilité compris entre 0 et 1 (0 et 100 %). Plus la note est élevée, plus la probabilité qu'une vulnérabilité soit exploitée est grande.

Le percentile est utilisé pour classer les CVE en fonction de leur score EPSS. Par exemple, une CVE dans le 95e percentile selon son score EPSS est plus susceptible d'être exploitée que 95 % des autres CVE. Ainsi, le percentile sert à comparer le score EPSS d'une CVE par rapport à d'autres CVE.

/* source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/570/info Some *BSD's use a profil(2) system call that dates back to "version 6" unix. This system call arranges for the kernel to sample the PC and increment an element of an array on every profile clock tick. The security issue stems from the fact that profiling is not turned off when a process execve(2)'s another program image. As the size and location of this array as well as the scale factor are under the program's control, it is possible to arrange for an arbitrary 16-bit program virtual address to be incremented on each profile clock tick. Although unlikely, it is theoretically possible that an attacker with local access and knowledge of the addresses used by privileged programs could construct an exploit. It may be that there are no candidate addresses that, when incremented, result in a security failure. However, as this can turn -1 into 0, and 0 into 1, and as security-related system calls and library functions often return either -1 or 0, this mechanism could turn system call returns of success into failure or failure into success if a program stores system call results into memory locations. */ /* This program will check to see if a given system has the profil(2) bug described in NetBSD Security Advisory 1999-011. If it prints `Counting!' then you've got it... At least one system (Solaris) appears to fix the security issue but doesn't turn off profiling unless the new image is owned by a different user. To check for this, you need to do something like: % cc profiltest.c % su # cp a.out prog.setuid # chown (something) prog.setuid # (possibly make it setuid) # exit % ./a.out If the program doesn't find prog.setuid, it just exec's itself; this gets the same result on most systems. (So: % cc profiltest.c; ./a.out) So far, I've only found it in BSD systems. Linux hasn't had profiling in the kernel for a while, so current versions should not be vulnerable. */ #include <sys/types.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> volatile unsigned short twobins[2]; int main(int ac, char **av) { if (ac == 1) { /* can't check the return value; on some systems it's void */ profil((char *)twobins, sizeof twobins, (u_long)&main, 2); /* try a different image for uid/setuid tests */ execl("prog.setuid", "tryroot", "-", 0); /* otherwise, just chain to ourself */ execl(av[0], av[0], "-", 0); fprintf(stderr, "problems\n"); exit(1); } for(;;) { if (twobins[0] | twobins[1]) { printf("Counting!\n"); twobins[0] = twobins[1] = 0; } } } /* ross.harvey@computer.org */
