| Version Summary: | Avaya has released a security advisory and software updates to address the Oracle Java Applet Rhino script engine arbitrary code execution vulnerability. |
| |
| |
| Description |
|
Multiple versions of Oracle Java contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a targeted system.
The vulnerability exists because the scripting component of the affected software fails to apply sufficient security restrictions while processing web pages. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability by persuading a user to visit a malicious web page. If successful, the attacker could bypass security restrictions to execute arbitrary code on a targeted system.
Functional code that demonstrates an exploit of this vulnerability is available as a part of the Metasploit framework.
Oracle has confirmed this vulnerability and released updated software. |
| |
| Warning Indicators |
|
The following products are affected:
- Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) and Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7
- Oracle JDK and Oracle JRE 6.0 Update 27 and prior
- Oracle JDK 5.0 Update 31 and prior
- Oracle Java Software Development Kit (SDK) and Oracle JRE 1.4.2_33 and prior
|
| |
| IntelliShield Analysis |
|
| To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker may provide a link that directs a user to a malicious site and use misleading language or instructions to persuade the user to follow the provided link. |

|
| |
| Impact |
|
| An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a user on a affected system. If the user holds Administrator privileges, a complete system compromise could result. |
| |
| Technical Information |
|
The vulnerability exists because the scripting component of the affected software fails to apply sufficient security restrictions while processing Rhino JavaScript content. On encountering an error condition, the implemented scripting engine could fail to perform sufficient sanitization on JavaScript error objects.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to visit a malicious web page that contains malicious code or a malicious Java applet. If successful, the attacker could bypass the security restrictions that are implemented by the SecurityManager to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. If the user holds Administrator privileges, complete system compromise could result. |
| |
| Safeguards |
|
Administrators are advised to apply the appropriate updates.
Administrators may consider disabling JavaScript in the vulnerable applications.
Users are advised not to open e-mail messages from suspicious or unrecognized sources. If users cannot verify that links or attachments included in e-mail messages are safe, they are advised not to open them.
Administrators are advised to monitor affected systems. |
