Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by several vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running Sun Java System Active Server Pages (ASP), or an older variant such as Sun ONE ASP or Chili!Soft ASP.

The web server component of the installed version of Active Server Pages on the remote host is affected by several vulnerabilities :

- A flaw in an include file used by several of the administration server's ASP applications allows an attacker to write arbitrary data to a file specified by an attacker on the affected host. This issue does not affect ASP Server on a Windows platform (CVE-2008-2401).

- Password and configuration data are stored in the administration server's web root and can be retrieved without credentials. This issue does not affect ASP Server on a Windows platform (CVE-2008-2402).

- Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities exist in several of the administration server's ASP applications and can be abused to read or even delete arbitrary files on the affected host. This issue does not affect ASP Server on a Windows platform (CVE-2008-2403).

- A stack-based buffer overflow allows code execution in the context of the ASP server (by default root) and can be exploited without authentication (CVE-2008-2404).

- Several of the administration server's ASP applications fail to filter or escape user input before using it to generate commands before executing them in a shell. While access to these applications nominally requires authentication, there are reportedly several methods of bypassing authentication (CVE-2008-2405).

Solution

Upgrade to Sun Java System ASP version 4.0.3 or later.

How to Run

Here is how to run the Sun Java System ASP < 4.0.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities 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 CGI abuses plugin family.
On the right side table select Sun Java System ASP < 4.0.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities plugin ID 33439.
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 sun_asp_403.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a sun_asp_403.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

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

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - sun_asp_403.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 sun_asp_403.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
