Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Oracle Java SE 6u65/7u45 (Programming Language Software). It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block of the component Security. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect integrity. The summary by CVE is:

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 6u65 and 7u45, Java SE Embedded 7u45, and OpenJDK 7 allows remote attackers to affect integrity via unknown vectors related to Security. NOTE: the previous information is from the January 2014 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that CanonicalizerBase.java in the XML canonicalizer allows untrusted code to access mutable byte arrays.

The issue has been introduced in 10/15/2013. The weakness was published 01/14/2014 with Oracle as Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - January 2014 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at oracle.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2013-5910 since 09/18/2013. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 91 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 72298 (Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.7.0-openjdk (ALAS-2014-280)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Amazon Linux Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 185058 (HP-UX Running Java7 Multiple Vulnerabilities (HPSBUX02972)).

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (90352), Tenable (72298), SecurityFocus (BID 64758†), OSVDB (102021†) and Secunia (SA56432†). Similar entries are available at VDB-6095, VDB-7810, VDB-8664 and VDB-8665. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
