Reino: Errors

Los errores y su tratamiento representan una clase de API. Los errores relacionados con el tratamiento de errores son tan comunes que se merecen una sección por sí mismos. Tal como sucede con los "abusos de la API", hay dos formas de presentar una vulnerabilidad de seguridad relacionada con los errores: la más común es tratar los errores inadecuadamente (o no llegar a hacerlo). La segunda es producir errores que dan demasiada información (a posibles atacantes) o que son difíciles de tratar.

Poor Error Handling: Empty Catch Block

Abstract
La omisión de una excepción puede provocar que el programa pase por alto estados y condiciones inesperadas.
Explanation
Casi todos los ataques serios a un sistema de software comienzan con la violación de los supuestos de un programador. Después del ataque, los supuestos del programador parecen endebles y mal fundamentados, pero, antes de un ataque, muchos programadores están totalmente convencidos de sus supuestos.

Dos supuestos dudosos que son fáciles de detectar en código son "esta llamada de método nunca puede fallar" y "no importa si esta llamada falla". Cuando un programador ignora una excepción, declara implícitamente que está operando bajo uno de estos supuestos.

Ejemplo 1: El siguiente fragmento de código ignora una excepción raramente lanzada de doExchange().


try {
    doExchange();
}
catch (RareException e) {
    // this can never happen
}


Si alguna vez se lanzara una RareException, el programa continuaría ejecutándose como si no hubiera ocurrido nada inusual. El programa no registra ninguna evidencia que aluda a la situación especial, lo que podría frustrar cualquier intento posterior de explicar el comportamiento del programa.

Después del ataque, las suposiciones del programador parecen débiles y mal fundadas, pero antes de un ataque muchos programadores defenderían sus suposiciones mucho más allá del final de la hora del almuerzo.

Dos suposiciones dudosas que son fáciles de identificar en el código son "esta llamada de método no puede tener nunca errores" y "no importa si se produce un error en esta llamada". Cuando un programador ignora una excepción, implícitamente indica que está funcionando según uno de estos supuestos.

Ejemplo 1: El fragmento de código siguiente ignora una excepción iniciada en pocas ocasiones desde open().


try:
    f = open('myfile.txt')
    s = f.readline()
    i = int(s.strip())
except:
   # This will never happen
   pass


Si una RareException se fuese a iniciar en algún momento, el programa seguiría ejecutándose como si no hubiese ocurrido nada inusual. El programa no registrará ninguna prueba que indique la situación especial, evitando potencialmente cualquier intento posterior de explicar el comportamiento del programa.
