Vulnerability Information

Severity: Critical
Vulnerability Published: 2013-02-28
Patch Published: 2013-03-04
CVE [?]: CVE-2013-0809, CVE-2013-1493
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:oracle:jre
Exploited by Malware: True

Synopsis

The remote host contains a runtime environment that can allow code execution.

Description

The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.x installed on the remote host is earlier than Update 43. It, therefore, potentially can allow remote code execution due to the following vulnerabilities related to the '2D' sub-component :

- An integer overflow error exists related to handling sample model instances that could result in memory corruption leading to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-0809)

- An unspecified error exists that could allow memory to be overwritten and could allow the security manager to be bypassed, thus leading to application crashes or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-1493)

Please note this issue affects client deployments only and is exploited through untrusted 'Java Web Start' applications and untrusted Java applets.

Solution

Update to JDK / JRE 6 Update 43 or later and remove, if necessary, any affected versions.

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): N/A
Target Asset(s): N/A
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB, Core Impact)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the Oracle Java JDK / JRE 6 < Update 43 Remote Code Execution (Windows) vulnerability:

Metasploit: exploit/windows/browser/java_cmm
[Java CMM Remote Code Execution]
Exploit-DB: exploits/windows/remote/24904.rb
