Descrizioni CAPEC
An adversary may execute an attack on a program that uses a poor Regular Expression(Regex) implementation by choosing input that results in an extreme situation for the Regex. A typical extreme situation operates at exponential time compared to the input size. This is due to most implementations using a Nondeterministic Finite Automaton(NFA) state machine to be built by the Regex algorithm since NFA allows backtracking and thus more complex regular expressions.
Informazioni CAPEC
Prerequisiti
This type of an attack requires the ability to identify hosts running a poorly implemented Regex, and the ability to send crafted input to exploit the regular expression.Mitigazioni
Test custom written Regex with fuzzing to determine if the Regex is a poor one. Add timeouts to processes that handle the Regex logic. If an evil Regex is found rewrite it as a good Regex.Vulnerabilità correlate
| Nome della vulnerabilità | |
|---|---|
CWE-400 |
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource. |
CWE-1333 |
Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity The product uses a regular expression with an inefficient, possibly exponential worst-case computational complexity that consumes excessive CPU cycles. |
