Patch Published: 2017-08-01
CVE [?]: CVE-2017-1376
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:ibm:java

Synopsis

IBM Java is affected a vulnerability.

Description

The version of IBM Java installed on the remote host is prior to 6.1 < 6.1.8.50 / 7.0 < 7.0.10.10 / 7.1 < 7.1.4.10 / 8.0 < 8.0.4.7. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the IBM Security Update August 2017 advisory.

- A flaw in the IBM J9 VM class verifier allows untrusted code to disable the security manager and elevate its privileges. IBM X-Force ID: 126873. (CVE-2017-1376)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the IBM Security Update August 2017 advisory.

Public Exploits

How to Run

Here is how to run the IBM Java 6.1 < 6.1.8.50 / 7.0 < 7.0.10.10 / 7.1 < 7.1.4.10 / 8.0 < 8.0.4.7 as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select Misc. plugin family.
On the right side table select IBM Java 6.1 < 6.1.8.50 / 7.0 < 7.0.10.10 / 7.1 < 7.1.4.10 / 8.0 < 8.0.4.7 plugin ID 160366.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl ibm_java_2017_08_01.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a ibm_java_2017_08_01.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - ibm_java_2017_08_01.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state ibm_java_2017_08_01.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
