Details
A vulnerability was found in Sun JRE 1.3.1/1.4.2/1.5.0 (Programming Language Software) and classified as problematic. This issue affects some unknown functionality of the component Certificates. Impacted is integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
Multiple packages on Sun Solaris, including (1) NSS; (2) Java JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 8 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.x up to 1.4.2_12, and SDK and JRE 1.3.x up to 1.3.1_19; (3) JSSE 1.0.3_03 and earlier; (4) IPSec/IKE; (5) Secure Global Desktop; and (6) StarOffice, when using an RSA key with exponent 3, removes PKCS-1 padding before generating a hash, which allows remote attackers to forge a PKCS #1 v1.5 signature that is signed by that RSA key and prevents these products from correctly verifying X.509 and other certificates that use PKCS #1.
The bug was discovered 02/22/2007. The weakness was disclosed 10/10/2006 as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared at kb.cert.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2006-5201 since 10/09/2006. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.
It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 22716 (Debian DSA-1174-1 : openssl096 - cryptographic weakness), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks and running in the context l.
Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published before and not just after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (22716), SecurityFocus (BID 19849†), OSVDB (28549†), Secunia (SA22204†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-12895†). The entries VDB-1948, VDB-2509, VDB-2544 and VDB-2546 are pretty similar. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
