SUN : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In December 2003

Sun Cluster 2.2 through 3.2 for Oracle Parallel Server / Real Application Clusters (OPS/RAC) allows local users to cause a denial of service (cluster node panic or abort) by launching a daemon listening on a TCP port that would otherwise be used by the Distributed Lock Manager (DLM), possibly involving this daemon responding in a manner that spoofs a cluster reconfiguration.

Sun Java Plug-In 1.4 through 1.4.2_02 allows remote attackers to repeatedly access the floppy drive via the createXmlDocument method in the org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocument class, which violates the Java security model.

The org.apache.xalan.processor.XSLProcessorVersion class in Java Plug-in 1.4.2_01 allows signed and unsigned applets to share variables, which violates the Java security model and could allow remote attackers to read or write data belonging to a signed applet.

Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.x before 1.4.2_11 and 1.5.x before 1.5.0_06, and as used in multiple web browsers, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via deeply nested object arrays, which are not properly handled by the garbage collector and trigger invalid memory accesses.

X509TrustManager in (1) Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) in SDK and JRE 1.4.0 through 1.4.0_01, (2) JSSE before 1.0.3, (3) Java Plug-in SDK and JRE 1.3.0 through 1.4.1, and (4) Java Web Start 1.0 through 1.2 incorrectly calls the isClientTrusted method when determining server trust, which results in improper validation of digital certificate and allows remote attackers to (1) falsely authenticate peers for SSL or (2) incorrectly validate signed JAR files.

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.4.2 through 1.4.2_02 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) unpack.log, as created by the unpack program, or (2) .mailcap1 and .mime.types1, as created by the RPM program.

Sun Java 1.3.1, 1.4.1, and 1.4.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (JVM crash), possibly by calling the ClassDepth function with a null parameter, which causes a crash instead of generating a null pointer exception.

Unknown vulnerability in SunOne/iPlanet Web Server SP3 through SP5 on Windows platforms allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

Unknown vulnerability in ns-ldapd for Sun ONE Directory Server 4.16, 5.0, and 5.1 allows LDAP clients to cause a denial of service (service halt).

Unknown vulnerability in Sun Management Center (SunMC) 2.1.1, 3.0, and 3.0 Revenue Release (RR), when installed and run by root, allows local users to create or modify arbitrary files.

Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and SDK 1.4.0_01 and earlier allows untrusted applets to access certain information within trusted applets, which allows attackers to bypass the restrictions of the Java security model.

Buffer overflow in utmp_update for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to gain root privileges, as identified by Sun BugID 4705891, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-1068.

Unknown vulnerability in sendmail for Solaris 7, 8, and 9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (unknown impact) and possibly gain privileges via certain constructs in a .forward file.

A race condition in the at command for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to delete arbitrary files via the -r argument with .. (dot dot) sequences in the job name, then modifying the directory structure after at checks permissions to delete the file and before the deletion actually takes place.

Buffer overflow in the syslog daemon for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (syslogd crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long syslog UDP packets.

The Xsun server for Sun Solaris 2.6 through 9, when running in Direct Graphics Access (DGA) mode, allows local users to cause a denial of service (Xsun crash) or to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the system, probably via a symlink attack on temporary server files.

Unknown vulnerability in CDE Print Viewer (dtprintinfo) for Sun Solaris 2.6 through 9 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code.

The ed editor for Sun Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The Network Management Port on Sun Fire B1600 systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (packet loss) via ARP packets, which cause all ports to become temporarily disabled.

ISC BIND 8.3.x before 8.3.7, and 8.4.x before 8.4.3, allows remote attackers to poison the cache via a malicious name server that returns negative responses with a large TTL (time-to-live) value.
