Tên: Exposed IOCTL with Insufficient Access Control

The product implements an IOCTL with functionality that should be restricted, but it does not properly enforce access control for the IOCTL.

Tài liệu tham khảo Mô tả

CVE-2009-2208

Operating system does not enforce permissions on an IOCTL that can be used to modify network settings.

CVE-2008-3831

Device driver does not restrict ioctl calls to its direct rendering manager.

CVE-2008-3525

ioctl does not check for a required capability before processing certain requests.

CVE-2008-0322

Chain: insecure device permissions allows access to an IOCTL, allowing arbitrary memory to be overwritten.

CVE-2007-4277

Chain: anti-virus product uses weak permissions for a device, leading to resultant buffer overflow in an exposed IOCTL.

CVE-2007-1400

Chain: sandbox allows opening of a TTY device, enabling shell commands through an exposed ioctl.

CVE-2006-4926

Anti-virus product uses insecure security descriptor for a device driver, allowing access to a privileged IOCTL.

CVE-1999-0728

Unauthorized user can disable keyboard or mouse by directly invoking a privileged IOCTL.

Các biện pháp giảm thiểu tiềm năng

Phases : Architecture and Design
In Windows environments, use proper access control for the associated device or device namespace. See References.

Ghi chú ánh xạ lỗ hổng

Lý do : This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Bình luận : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.

Ghi chú

This can be primary to many other weaknesses when the programmer assumes that the IOCTL can only be accessed by trusted parties. For example, a program or driver might not validate incoming addresses in METHOD_NEITHER IOCTLs in Windows environments (CWE-781), which could allow buffer overflow and similar attacks to take place, even when the attacker never should have been able to access the IOCTL at all.
