Sun JRE 1.4.2 Java Runtime Environment denial of service

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.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Sun JRE 1.4.2 (Programming Language Software). This affects an unknown code block of the component Java Runtime Environment. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

(1) Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and (2) Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.4.2_08, 1.4.2_09, and 1.5.0_05 and possibly other versions allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (JVM unresponsive) via a crafted serialized object, such as a font object as demonstrated on JBoss.

The bug was discovered 11/07/2005. The weakness was presented 11/16/2005 by Marc Schoenefeld (Website). The advisory is shared at secunia.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2005-3583 since 11/16/2005. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 06/13/2019). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product decreasing in the near future.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 9 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (23001), SecurityFocus (BID 15312†), OSVDB (20526†), Secunia (SA17478†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-10104†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
