Description |
| 47 |
=========== |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Sun Java: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
* Daniel Soeder discovered that a long codebase attribute string in a |
| 52 |
JNLP file will overflow a stack variable when launched by Java |
| 53 |
WebStart (CVE-2007-3655). |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
* Multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2007-2435, CVE-2007-2788, |
| 56 |
CVE-2007-2789) that were previously reported as GLSA 200705-23 and |
| 57 |
GLSA 200706-08 also affect 1.4 and 1.6 SLOTs, which was not mentioned |
| 58 |
in the initial revision of said GLSAs. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
* The Zero Day Initiative, TippingPoint and John Heasman reported |
| 61 |
multiple buffer overflows and unspecified vulnerabilities in Java Web |
| 62 |
Start (CVE-2008-1188, CVE-2008-1189, CVE-2008-1190, CVE-2008-1191). |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
* Hisashi Kojima of Fujitsu and JPCERT/CC reported a security issue |
| 65 |
when performing XSLT transformations (CVE-2008-1187). |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
* CERT/CC reported a Stack-based buffer overflow in Java Web Start |
| 68 |
when using JNLP files (CVE-2008-1196). |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
* Azul Systems reported an unspecified vulnerability that allows |
| 71 |
applets to escalate their privileges (CVE-2007-5689). |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
* Billy Rios, Dan Boneh, Collin Jackson, Adam Barth, Andrew Bortz, |
| 74 |
Weidong Shao, and David Byrne discovered multiple instances where |
| 75 |
Java applets or JavaScript programs run within browsers do not pin |
| 76 |
DNS hostnames to a single IP address, allowing for DNS rebinding |
| 77 |
attacks (CVE-2007-5232, CVE-2007-5273, CVE-2007-5274). |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
* Peter Csepely reported that Java Web Start does not properly |
| 80 |
enforce access restrictions for untrusted applications |
| 81 |
(CVE-2007-5237, CVE-2007-5238). |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
* Java Web Start does not properly enforce access restrictions for |
| 84 |
untrusted Java applications and applets, when handling drag-and-drop |
| 85 |
operations (CVE-2007-5239). |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
* Giorgio Maone discovered that warnings for untrusted code can be |
| 88 |
hidden under applications' windows (CVE-2007-5240). |
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
* Fujitsu reported two security issues where security restrictions of |
| 91 |
web applets and applications were not properly enforced |
| 92 |
(CVE-2008-1185, CVE-2008-1186). |
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
* John Heasman of NGSSoftware discovered that the Java Plug-in does |
| 95 |
not properly enforce the same origin policy (CVE-2008-1192). |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
* Chris Evans of the Google Security Team discovered multiple |
| 98 |
unspecified vulnerabilities within the Java Runtime Environment Image |
| 99 |
Parsing Library (CVE-2008-1193, CVE-2008-1194). |
| 100 |
|
| 101 |
* Gregory Fleischer reported that web content fetched via the "jar:" |
| 102 |
protocol was not subject to network access restrictions |
| 103 |
(CVE-2008-1195). |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
* Chris Evans and Johannes Henkel of the Google Security Team |
| 106 |
reported that the XML parsing code retrieves external entities even |
| 107 |
when that feature is disabled (CVE-2008-0628). |
| 108 |
|
| 109 |
* Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities might allow for escalation of |
| 110 |
privileges (CVE-2008-0657). |
| 111 |
|
| 112 |
Impact |
| 113 |
====== |
| 114 |
|
| 115 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to run a specially crafted applet |
| 116 |
on a website or start an application in Java Web Start to execute |
| 117 |
arbitrary code outside of the Java sandbox and of the Java security |
| 118 |
restrictions with the privileges of the user running Java. The attacker |
| 119 |
could also obtain sensitive information, create, modify, rename and |
| 120 |
read local files, execute local applications, establish connections in |
| 121 |
the local network, bypass the same origin policy, and cause a Denial of |
| 122 |
Service via multiple vectors. |
| 123 |
|
| 124 |
Workaround |
| 125 |
========== |
| 126 |
|
| 127 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 128 |
|
| 129 |
Resolution |
| 130 |
========== |
| 131 |
|
| 132 |
All Sun JRE users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 133 |
|
| 134 |
# emerge --sync |
| 135 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "dev-java/sun-jre-bin" |
| 136 |
|
| 137 |
All Sun JDK users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 138 |
|
| 139 |
# emerge --sync |
| 140 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "dev-java/sun-jdk" |
| 141 |
|
| 142 |
All emul-linux-x86-java users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 143 |
|
| 144 |
# emerge --sync |
| 145 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java" |
| 146 |
