    Buffer overflow exploits EJ Jung A Bit of History: Morris Worm Worm was released in 1988 by Robert Morris • Graduate student at Cornell, son of NSA chief scientist • Convicted under Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, sentenced to 3 years of probation and 400 hours of community service • Now a computer science professor at MIT Worm was intended to propagate slowly and harmlessly measure the size of the Internet Due to a coding error, it created new copies as fast as it could and overloaded infected machines $10-100M worth of damage Morris Worm and Buffer Overflow One of the worm’s propagation techniques was a buffer overflow attack against a vulnerable version of fingerd on VAX systems • By sending special string to finger daemon, worm caused it to execute code creating a new worm copy • Unable to determine remote OS version, worm also attacked fingerd on Suns running BSD, causing them to crash (instead of spawning a new copy) For more history: • http://www.snowplow.org/tom/worm/worm.html Buffer Overflow These Days Most common cause of Internet attacks • Over 50% of advisories published by CERT (computer security incident report team) are caused by various buffer overflows Morris worm (1988): overflow in fingerd • 6,000 machines infected CodeRed (2001): overflow in MS-IIS server • 300,000 machines infected in 14 hours SQL Slammer (2003): overflow in MS-SQL server • 75,000 machines infected in 10 minutes (!!)

  • Automatic Discovery of API-Level Vulnerabilities
    Automatic Discovery of API-Level Vulnerabilities Vinod Ganapathyy, Sanjit A. Seshiaz, Somesh Jhay, Thomas W. Repsy, Randal E. Bryantz yComputer Sciences Department, zSchool of Computer Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison Carnegie Mellon University fvg|jha|[email protected] fsanjit|[email protected] UW-MADISON COMPUTER SCIENCES TECHNICAL REPORT: UW-CS-TR-1512, JULY 2004. Abstract A system is vulnerable to an API-level attack if its security can be compromised by invoking an allowed sequence of operations from its API. We present a formal framework to model and analyze APIs, and develop an automatic technique based upon bounded model checking to discover API-level vulnerabilities. If a vulnerability exists, our technique produces a trace of API operations demonstrating an attack. Two case studies show the efficacy of our technique. In the first study we present a novel way to analyze printf-family format-string attacks as API-level attacks, and implement a tool to discover them automatically. In the second study, we model a subset of the IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture API, a popular cryptographic key-management API, and automatically detect a previously known vulnerability. 1 Introduction Software modules communicate through application programming interfaces (APIs). Failure to respect an API's usage conventions or failure to understand the semantics of an API may lead to security vulnerabilities. For instance, Chen et al. [13] demonstrated a security vulnerability in sendmail-8.10.1that was due to a misunderstanding of the semantics of UNIX user-id setting commands. A programmer mistakenly assumed that setuid(getuid()) would always drop all privileges.

Ernst University of Washington, USA {weitzkon,genelkim,ping128,mernst}@cs.uw.edu ABSTRACT // Untested code (Hadoop) Most programming languages support format strings, but their use Resource r = ... format("Insufficient memory %d", r); is error-prone. Using the wrong format string syntax, or passing the wrong number or type of arguments, leads to unintelligible text // Unchecked input (FindBugs) output, program crashes, or security vulnerabilities. String urlRewriteFormat = read(); This paper presents a type system that guarantees that calls to format(urlRewriteFormat, url); format string APIs will never fail. In Java, this means that the API will not throw exceptions. In C, this means that the API will not // User unaware log is a format routine (Daikon) log("Exception " + e); return negative values, corrupt memory, etc. We instantiated this type system for Java’s Formatter API, and // Invalid syntax for Formatter API (ping-gcal) evaluated it on 6 large and well-maintained open-source projects. format("Unable to reach {0}", server); Format string bugs are common in practice (our type system found Listing 1: Real-world code examples of common programmer 104 bugs), and the annotation burden on the user of our type system mistakes that lead to format routine call failures.

This paper describes the format bug problem, and presents FormatGuard: our Remove the %n feature: The printf %n directive is proposed solution. FormatGuard is a small patch to the most dangerous, because it induces printf to glibc that provides general protection against format write data back to the argument list. It has been pro- bugs.

It could be specified manually, using switches on the front panel for the computer y Second generation computer languages: Assembly language. ◦ Specifying a computer program as the bit pattern of the machine code was very time consuming, and error prone. A human readable/writable form of machine code was developed, namely “assembly language”. ◦ Another program, called an assembler, was developed to take a textual version of the machine code, and translate it into machine code. assembler Translation from Assembly language to Machine code 1 CS210 - The University of Auckland C: a bit of history (2) y Third generation computer languages: High level languages. ◦ Assembly language is very low level, and depends on the computer architecture. ◦ High level languages were developed, that were relatively machine independent, and more like the notation of mathematics. Fortran (~1955) and Basic (~1964): still had to build control statements out of one line if statements and goto statements, and there were no recursive functions. ◦ Pascal (~1970) and C (~1972) were developed, with support for data structures. ◦ 1971, Ken Thompson developed a FORTRAN compiler, instead ended up developed a compiler for a new high-level language he called B. ◦ In 1972, Dennis Ritchie at Bell Lab, built on B to create a new language called C (next to B) which inherited Thompson's syntax.
