Details
A vulnerability classified as very critical was found in Oracle Java 7 Update 17 (Programming Language Software). This vulnerability affects some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier, and OpenJDK 6 and 7, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving reflection, Libraries, "improper toString calls," and the JDBC driver manager, as demonstrated by James Forshaw during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2013.
The issue has been introduced in 03/04/2013. The weakness was presented 03/06/2013 by James Forshaw as not defined tweet (Twitter) via ZDI (Zero Day Initiative). The advisory is available at twitter.com. The vendor was not involved in the coordination of the public release. This vulnerability was named CVE-2013-1488 since 01/30/2013. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 12/22/2024). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product decreasing in the near future.This vulnerability is assigned to T1059 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.
A public exploit has been developed by Metasploit and been published 4 months after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at exploit-db.com. It is declared as highly functional. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 69742 (Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.7.0-openjdk (ALAS-2013-183)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Amazon Linux Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 350563 (Amazon Linux Security Advisory for java-1.7.0-openjdk: ALAS-2013-183).
Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. A possible mitigation has been published 2 months after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Exploit-DB (26135), Tenable (69742), SecurityFocus (BID 58504†), OSVDB (91472†) and Secunia (SA53008†).
