Summary

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment in Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 1 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 13 and earlier, allow context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted (1) application or (2) applet, as demonstrated by an application or applet that grants itself privileges to (a) read local files, (b) write to local files, or (c) execute local programs.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Accessing, Modifying or Executing Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's configuration that allows an attacker to either directly access an executable file, for example through shell access; or in a possible worst case allows an attacker to upload a file and then execute it. Web servers, ftp servers, and message oriented middleware systems which have many integration points are particularly vulnerable, because both the programmers and the administrators must be in synch regarding the interfaces and the correct privileges for each interface.
  • Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files, when the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high. The attack can be directed at a client system, such as causing buffer overrun through loading seemingly benign image files, as in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 where specially crafted JPEG files could cause a buffer overrun once loaded into the browser. Another example targets clients reading pdf files. In this case the attacker simply appends javascript to the end of a legitimate url for a pdf (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/danger-danger-danger/) http://path/to/pdf/file.pdf#whatever_name_you_want=javascript:your_code_here The client assumes that they are reading a pdf, but the attacker has modified the resource and loaded executable javascript into the client's browser process. The attack can also target server processes. The attacker edits the resource or configuration file, for example a web.xml file used to configure security permissions for a J2EE app server, adding role name "public" grants all users with the public role the ability to use the administration functionality. The server trusts its configuration file to be correct, but when they are manipulated, the attacker gains full control.
  • Blue Boxing
    This type of attack against older telephone switches and trunks has been around for decades. A tone is sent by an adversary to impersonate a supervisor signal which has the effect of rerouting or usurping command of the line. While the US infrastructure proper may not contain widespread vulnerabilities to this type of attack, many companies are connected globally through call centers and business process outsourcing. These international systems may be operated in countries which have not upgraded Telco infrastructure and so are vulnerable to Blue boxing. Blue boxing is a result of failure on the part of the system to enforce strong authorization for administrative functions. While the infrastructure is different than standard current applications like web applications, there are historical lessons to be learned to upgrade the access control for administrative functions.
  • Restful Privilege Elevation
    Rest uses standard HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permissions methods, but these are not necessarily correlated generally with back end programs. Strict interpretation of HTTP get methods means that these HTTP Get services should not be used to delete information on the server, but there is no access control mechanism to back up this logic. This means that unless the services are properly ACL'd and the application's service implementation are following these guidelines then an HTTP request can easily execute a delete or update on the server side. The attacker identifies a HTTP Get URL such as http://victimsite/updateOrder, which calls out to a program to update orders on a database or other resource. The URL is not idempotent so the request can be submitted multiple times by the attacker, additionally, the attacker may be able to exploit the URL published as a Get method that actually performs updates (instead of merely retrieving data). This may result in malicious or inadvertent altering of data on the server.
  • Target Programs with Elevated Privileges
    This attack targets programs running with elevated privileges. The attacker would try to leverage a bug in the running program and get arbitrary code to execute with elevated privileges. For instance an attacker would look for programs that write to the system directories or registry keys (such as HKLM, which stores a number of critical Windows environment variables). These programs are typically running with elevated privileges and have usually not been designed with security in mind. Such programs are excellent exploit targets because they yield lots of power when they break. The malicious user try to execute its code at the same level as a privileged system call.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200804-20 (Sun JDK/JRE: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Sun Java: Daniel Soeder discovered that a long codebase attribute string in a JNLP file will overflow a stack variable when launched by Java WebStart (CVE-2007-3655). Multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2007-2435, CVE-2007-2788, CVE-2007-2789) that were previously reported as GLSA 200705-23 and GLSA 200706-08 also affect 1.4 and 1.6 SLOTs, which was not mentioned in the initial revision of said GLSAs. The Zero Day Initiative, TippingPoint and John Heasman reported multiple buffer overflows and unspecified vulnerabilities in Java Web Start (CVE-2008-1188, CVE-2008-1189, CVE-2008-1190, CVE-2008-1191). Hisashi Kojima of Fujitsu and JPCERT/CC reported a security issue when performing XSLT transformations (CVE-2008-1187). CERT/CC reported a Stack-based buffer overflow in Java Web Start when using JNLP files (CVE-2008-1196). Azul Systems reported an unspecified vulnerability that allows applets to escalate their privileges (CVE-2007-5689). Billy Rios, Dan Boneh, Collin Jackson, Adam Barth, Andrew Bortz, Weidong Shao, and David Byrne discovered multiple instances where Java applets or JavaScript programs run within browsers do not pin DNS hostnames to a single IP address, allowing for DNS rebinding attacks (CVE-2007-5232, CVE-2007-5273, CVE-2007-5274). Peter Csepely reported that Java Web Start does not properly enforce access restrictions for untrusted applications (CVE-2007-5237, CVE-2007-5238). Java Web Start does not properly enforce access restrictions for untrusted Java applications and applets, when handling drag-and-drop operations (CVE-2007-5239). Giorgio Maone discovered that warnings for untrusted code can be hidden under applications

        reported that the XML parsing code retrieves external entities even
        when that feature is disabled (CVE-2008-0628).
        Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities might allow for escalation of
        privileges (CVE-2008-0657).
      
    Impact :
    
        A remote attacker could entice a user to run a specially crafted applet
        on a website or start an application in Java Web Start to execute
        arbitrary code outside of the Java sandbox and of the Java security
        restrictions with the privileges of the user running Java. The attacker
        could also obtain sensitive information, create, modify, rename and
        read local files, execute local applications, establish connections in
        the local network, bypass the same origin policy, and cause a Denial of
        Service via multiple vectors.

    descriptionIBM Java 5 was updated to SR7 to fix various security issues : - A buffer overflow vulnerability in Java Web Start may allow an untrusted Java Web Start application that is downloaded from a website to elevate its privileges. For example, an untrusted Java Web Start application may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted application. (CVE-2008-1196) - A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment may allow JavaScript(TM) code that is downloaded by a browser to make connections to network services on the system that the browser runs on, through Java APIs, This may allow files (that are accessible through these network services) or vulnerabilities (that exist on these network services) which are not otherwise normally accessible to be accessed or exploited. (CVE-2008-1195) - Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities may allow an untrusted applet or application to cause the Java Runtime Environment to crash. (CVE-2008-1194) - A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment image parsing code may allow an untrusted applet or application to create a denial-of-service condition, by causing the Java Runtime Environment to crash. (CVE-2008-1194) - A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment image parsing code allow an untrusted applet or application to elevate its privileges. For example, an application may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted application. (CVE-2008-1193) - A vulnerability in the Java Plug-in may an untrusted applet to bypass same origin policy and leverage this flaw to execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted applet. (CVE-2008-1192) - A vulnerability in Java Web Start may allow an untrusted Java Web Start application to elevate its privileges. For example, an application may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted application. (CVE-2008-1190) - A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment may allow an untrusted applet or application to elevate its privileges. For example, an applet may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted applet. (CVE-2008-1189) - Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Java Web Start may independently allow an untrusted Java Web Start application to elevate its privileges. For example, an untrusted Java Web Start application may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted application. (CVE-2008-1188) - A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment with parsing XML data may allow an untrusted applet or application to elevate its privileges. For example, an applet may read certain URL resources (such as some files and web pages). (CVE-2008-1187) - A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment may allow an untrusted application or applet that is downloaded from a website to elevate its privileges. For example, the application or applet may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted application or applet. (CVE-2008-0657) - A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) with applet caching may allow an untrusted applet that is downloaded from a malicious website to make network connections to network services on machines other than the one that the applet was downloaded from. This may allow network resources (such as web pages) and vulnerabilities (that exist on these network services) which are not otherwise normally accessible to be accessed or exploited. (CVE-2007-5232) - A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) may allow malicious JavaScript code that is downloaded by a browser from a malicious website to make network connections, through Java APIs, to network services on machines other than the one that the JavaScript code was downloaded from. This may allow network resources (such as web pages) and vulnerabilities (that exist on these network services) which are not otherwise normally accessible to be accessed or exploited. (CVE-2007-5274) - A second vulnerability in the JRE may allow an untrusted applet that is downloaded from a malicious website through a web proxy to make network connections to network services on machines other than the one that the applet was downloaded from. This may allow network resources (such as web pages) and vulnerabilities (that exist on these network services) which are not otherwise normally accessible to be accessed or exploited. (CVE-2007-5273) - An untrusted Java Web Start application may write arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2007-5236) - Three separate vulnerabilities may allow an untrusted Java Web Start application to determine the location of the Java Web Start cache. (CVE-2007-5238) - An untrusted Java Web Start application or Java applet may move or copy arbitrary files by requesting the user of the application or applet to drag and drop a file from the Java Web Start application or Java applet window. (CVE-2007-5239) - An untrusted applet may display an over-sized window so that the applet warning banner is not visible to the user running the untrusted applet. (CVE-2007-5240) - A vulnerability in the font parsing code in the Java Runtime Environment may allow an untrusted applet to elevate its privileges. For example, an applet may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted applet. (CVE-2007-4381)

    descriptionUpdated java-1.5.0-sun packages that correct several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras and 5 Supplementary. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) contains the software and tools that users need to run applets and applications written using the Java programming language. These updated java-1.5.0-sun packages resolve the following security issues : Two vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment allowed an untrusted application or applet to elevate the assigned privileges. This could be misused by a malicious website to read and write local files or execute local applications in the context of the user running the Java process. (CVE-2008-0657) Users of java-1.5.0-sun should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The BEA WebLogic JRockit 1.5.0_14 JRE and SDK contain BEA WebLogic JRockit Virtual Machine 1.5.0_14 and are certified for the Java 5 Platform, Standard Edition, v1.5.0. A flaw in the applet caching mechanism of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) did not correctly process the creation of network connections. A remote attacker could use this flaw to create connections to services on machines other than the one that the applet was downloaded from. (CVE-2007-5232) Untrusted Java Applets were able to drag and drop a file to a Desktop Application. A user-assisted remote attacker could use this flaw to move or copy arbitrary files. (CVE-2007-5239) The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) allowed untrusted Java Applets or applications to display oversized windows. This could be used by remote attackers to hide security warning banners. (CVE-2007-5240) Unsigned Java Applets communicating via a HTTP proxy could allow a remote attacker to violate the Java security model. A cached, malicious Applet could create network connections to services on other machines. (CVE-2007-5273) Two vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment allowed an untrusted application or applet to elevate the assigned privileges. This could be misused by a malicious website to read and write local files or execute local applications in the context of the user running the Java process.
