Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a runtime environment that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on the remote host is earlier than 6 Update 11 / 5.0 Update 17 / 1.4.2_19 / 1.3.1_24. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :

- The JRE creates temporary files with insufficiently random names. (244986)

- There are multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities involving the JRE's image processing code, its handling of GIF images, and its font processing. (244987)

- It may be possible for an attacker to bypass security checks due to the manner in which it handles the 'non-shortest form' of UTF-8 byte sequences.

- There are multiple security vulnerabilities in Java Web Start and Java Plug-in that may allow for privilege escalation. (244988)

- The JRE Java Update mechanism does not check the digital signature of the JRE that it downloads. (244989)

- A buffer overflow may allow an untrusted Java application that is launched through the commandline to escalate its privileges. (244990)

- A vulnerability related to deserializing calendar objects may allow an untrusted applet or application to escalate its privileges. (244991)

- A buffer overflow affects the 'unpack200' JAR unpacking utility and may allow an untrusted applet or application to escalate its privileges with unpacking applets and Java Web Start applications. (244992)

- The UTF-8 decoder accepts encodings longer than the 'shortest' form. Although not a vulnerability per se, it may be leveraged to exploit software that relies on the JRE UTF-8 decoder to reject the 'non-shortest form' sequence. (245246)

- An untrusted applet or application may be able to list the contents of the home directory of the user running the applet or application. (246266)

- A denial of service vulnerability may be triggered when the JRE handles certain RSA public keys. (246286)

- A vulnerability may be triggered while authenticating users through Kerberos and lead to a system-wide denial of service due to excessive consumption of operating system resources. (246346)

- Security vulnerabilities in the JAX-WS and JAXB packages where internal classes can be accessed may allow an untrusted applet or application to escalate privileges. (246366)

- An untrusted applet or application when parsing zip files may be able to read arbitrary memory locations in the process that the applet or application is running. (246386)

- The JRE allows code loaded from the local filesystem to access localhost. (246387)

Solution

Update to Sun Java JDK / JRE 6 Update 11, JDK / JRE 5.0 Update 17, SDK / JRE 1.4.2_19, or SDK / JRE 1.3.1_24 or later and remove if necessary any affected versions.

How to Run

Here is how to run the Sun Java JRE Multiple Vulnerabilities (244986 et al) 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 Windows plugin family.
On the right side table select Sun Java JRE Multiple Vulnerabilities (244986 et al) plugin ID 35030.
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_java_jre_244986.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a sun_java_jre_244986.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

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

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - sun_java_jre_244986.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_java_jre_244986.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
