Vulnerability Information

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

It was discovered that Java did not correctly handle untrusted applets. If a user were tricked into running a malicious applet, a remote attacker could gain user privileges, or list directory contents. (CVE-2008-5347, CVE-2008-5350)

It was discovered that Kerberos authentication and RSA public key processing were not correctly handled in Java. A remote attacker could exploit these flaws to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5348, CVE-2008-5349)

It was discovered that Java accepted UTF-8 encodings that might be handled incorrectly by certain applications. A remote attacker could bypass string filters, possible leading to other exploits. (CVE-2008-5351)

Overflows were discovered in Java JAR processing. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a malicious JAR file, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5352, CVE-2008-5354)

It was discovered that Java calendar objects were not unserialized safely. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted calendar object, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2008-5353)

It was discovered that the Java image handling code could lead to memory corruption. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5358, CVE-2008-5359)

It was discovered that temporary files created by Java had predictable names. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted JAR file, a remote attacker could overwrite sensitive information. (CVE-2008-5360).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.

How to Run

Here is how to run the Ubuntu 8.10 : OpenJDK vulnerabilities (USN-713-1) 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 Ubuntu Local Security Checks plugin family.
On the right side table select Ubuntu 8.10 : OpenJDK vulnerabilities (USN-713-1) plugin ID 37381.
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 ubuntu_USN-713-1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a ubuntu_USN-713-1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

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

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - ubuntu_USN-713-1.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 ubuntu_USN-713-1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
