Sun OpenJDK prior 5.0 path traversal

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 classified as problematic was found in Sun OpenJDK. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in the ICC_Profile.getInstance method in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in Sun Java SE 5.0 before Update 22 and 6 before Update 17, and OpenJDK, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of local International Color Consortium (ICC) profile files via a .. (dot dot) in a pathname, aka Bug Id 6631533.

The weakness was presented 11/09/2009 by Peter Vreugdenhil (regenrecht) with iDEFENSE as Bug 530098 as not defined bug report (Bugzilla). It is possible to read the advisory at bugzilla.redhat.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2009-3728. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1006 according to MITRE ATT&CK.

A public exploit has been developed in Java. It is possible to download the exploit at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 42373 (Sun Java JRE Multiple Vulnerabilities (269868 / 269869 / 270476 ..)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 155760 (Oracle Enterprise Linux Update for java-1.6.0-openjdk (ELSA-2009-1584)).

Upgrading to version 5.0 eliminates this vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 8404.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (42373), SecurityFocus (BID 36881†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-23976†). See VDB-4206, VDB-50752, VDB-50750 and VDB-50749 for similar entries. Be aware that VulDB is the high quality source for vulnerability data.
