CAPEC-CAPEC-14 - CERT CVE

Naziv	Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
Sažetak	This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
Preduvjeti	The targeted client software communicates with an external server.\|The targeted client software has a buffer overflow vulnerability.
Rješenja	['The client software should not install untrusted code from a non-authenticated server.', 'The client software should have the latest patches and should be audited for vulnerabilities before being used to communicate with potentially hostile servers.', 'Perform input validation for length of buffer inputs.', 'Use a language or compiler that performs automatic bounds checking.', 'Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.', 'Compiler-based canary mechanisms such as StackGuard, ProPolice and the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag. Unless this provides automatic bounds checking, it is not a complete solution.', 'Ensure all buffer uses are consistently bounds-checked.', 'Use OS-level preventative functionality. Not a complete solution.']
