Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Oracle Java SE and Java SE Embedded 5.0u61/6u71/7u51/8 (Programming Language Software). It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is an unknown function of the component AWT. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. Impacted is confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

The get_sos function in jdmarker.c in (1) libjpeg 6b and (2) libjpeg-turbo through 1.3.0, as used in Google Chrome before 31.0.1650.48, Ghostscript, and other products, does not check for certain duplications of component data during the reading of segments that follow Start Of Scan (SOS) JPEG markers, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized memory locations via a crafted JPEG image.

The weakness was published 04/15/2014 by Michal Zalewski with Google as Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - April 2014 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is available at oracle.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2013-6629 since 11/05/2013. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1592 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 71563 (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / 12.04 LTS / 12.10 / 13.04 / 13.10 : libjpeg-turbo, libjpeg6b vulnerabilities (USN-2060-1)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Ubuntu Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 350477 (Amazon Linux Security Advisory for libjpeg-turbo: ALAS-2013-267).
