觀察到的案例

參考資料 描述

CVE-2014-6394

Product does not prevent access to restricted directories due to partial string comparison with a public directory

CVE-2004-1012

Argument parser of an IMAP server treats a partial command "body[p" as if it is "body.peek", leading to index error and out-of-bounds corruption.

CVE-2004-0765

Web browser only checks the hostname portion of a certificate when the hostname portion of the URI is not a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), which allows remote attackers to spoof trusted certificates.

CVE-2002-1374

One-character password by attacker checks only against first character of real password.

CVE-2000-0979

The password is not properly checked, which allows remote attackers to bypass access controls by sending a 1-character password that matches the first character of the real password.

潛在緩解措施

Phases : Testing
Thoroughly test the comparison scheme before deploying code into production. Perform positive testing as well as negative testing.

漏洞對應備注

理由說明 : 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.
備註 : 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.

備注

This is conceptually similar to other weaknesses, such as insufficient verification and regular expression errors. It is primary to some weaknesses.
