Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.7 (Application Server Software). Affected is some unknown processing of the component Java Message Service. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

The Java Message Service (JMS) in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) before 6.1.0.7 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors involving the "double release [of] a bytebuffer input stream," possibly a double free vulnerability.

The bug was discovered 04/05/2007. The weakness was disclosed 05/09/2007 with IBM (Website). The advisory is shared for download at www-1.ibm.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2007-1944 since 04/10/2007. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. 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 45420 (IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 < 6.1.0.7 Multiple Vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Web Servers and running in the context r. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 87055 (IBM WebSphere Application Server Java Message Service Denial of Service (PK35439)).

Upgrading to version 6.1.0.7 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (33471), Tenable (45420), SecurityFocus (BID 23459†), OSVDB (41604†) and Secunia (SA25219†).
