Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Oracle Sun Microsystems SunScreen Firewall 5.9 (Firewall Software). This affects an unknown code in the library LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a untrusted search path vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-426. The product searches for critical resources using an externally-supplied search path that can point to resources that are not under the product's direct control. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in the Java Service in Sun Microsystems SunScreen Firewall on SunOS 5.9 allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a modified (1) PATH or (2) LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

The weakness was released 02/07/2011 by kingcope (Website). The advisory is shared at exploit-db.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2011-0902 since 02/07/2011. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details and a public exploit are known. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1574 for this issue.

A public exploit has been developed by kingcope and been published even before and not after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at exploit-db.com. It is declared as functional. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 13 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k.
