名稱: Small Space of Random Values

The number of possible random values is smaller than needed by the product, making it more susceptible to brute force attacks.

一般資訊

引入方式

Architecture and Design
Implementation : REALIZATION: This weakness is caused during implementation of an architectural security tactic.

適用平台

程式語言

類別: Not Language-Specific (Undetermined)

技術

類別: Not Technology-Specific (Undetermined)

常見後果

範圍 影響 可能性
Access Control
Other
Bypass Protection Mechanism, Other

注意:An attacker could easily guess the values used. This could lead to unauthorized access to a system if the seed is used for authentication and authorization.

觀察到的案例

參考資料 描述

CVE-2002-0583

Product uses 5 alphanumeric characters for filenames of expense claim reports, stored under web root.

CVE-2002-0903

Product uses a small number of random numbers for a code to approve an action, and also uses predictable new user IDs, allowing attackers to hijack new accounts.

CVE-2003-1230

SYN cookies implementation only uses 32-bit keys, making it easier to brute force ISN.

CVE-2004-0230

Complex predictability / randomness (reduced space).

潛在緩解措施

Phases : Architecture and Design // Requirements
Use products or modules that conform to FIPS 140-2 [REF-267] to avoid obvious entropy problems. Consult FIPS 140-2 Annex C ("Approved Random Number Generators").

漏洞對應備注

理由說明 : This CWE entry is at the Base 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

As of CWE 4.5, terminology related to randomness, entropy, and predictability can vary widely. Within the developer and other communities, "randomness" is used heavily. However, within cryptography, "entropy" is distinct, typically implied as a measurement. There are no commonly-used definitions, even within standards documents and cryptography papers. Future versions of CWE will attempt to define these terms and, if necessary, distinguish between them in ways that are appropriate for different communities but do not reduce the usability of CWE for mapping, understanding, or other scenarios.
