Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Sun JRE 1.4.2/1.5.0 (Programming Language Software). It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects some unknown processing of the component Java Sandbox. 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 confidentiality, and integrity. CVE summarizes:

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Sun Java JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 4 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.x through 1.4.2_09 allow remote attackers to bypass Java sandbox security and obtain privileges via unspecified vectors involving the reflection APIs, aka the "second and third issues."

The weakness was released 02/08/2006 by Adam Gowdiak as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared for download at kb.cert.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2006-0615 since 02/09/2006. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 20921 (GLSA-200602-07 : Sun JDK/JRE: Applet privilege escalation), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Gentoo Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 115435 (Oracle Java Runtime Environment Multiple Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published 1 weeks after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 4317.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (24561), Tenable (20921), SecurityFocus (BID 15615†), OSVDB (23092†) and Secunia (SA18760†).
