Sun JDK 1.5.0/1.6.0 Swing information disclosure

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

A vulnerability was found in Sun JDK 1.5.0/1.6.0 (Programming Tool Software). It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown code block of the component Swing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Swing implementation in Sun Java SE 5.0 before Update 22 and 6 before Update 17, and OpenJDK, have unknown impact and remote attack vectors, related to "information leaks in mutable variables," aka Bug Id 6657026.

The weakness was presented 11/09/2009 by Peter Vreugdenhil (regenrecht) with iDEFENSE as Bug 530175 as not defined bug report (Bugzilla). The advisory is shared for download at bugzilla.redhat.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2009-3882. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1592.

A public exploit has been developed in Java. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. As 0-day the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 67075 (CentOS 5 : java-1.6.0-openjdk (CESA-2009:1584)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CentOS Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 155760 (Oracle Enterprise Linux Update for java-1.6.0-openjdk (ELSA-2009-1584)).
