SUN : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2008

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment in Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 1 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 13 and earlier, allow context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted (1) application or (2) applet, as demonstrated by an application or applet that grants itself privileges to (a) read local files, (b) write to local files, or (c) execute local programs.

A certain incorrect Sun Solaris 10 image on SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers has /etc/default/login and /etc/ssh/sshd_config files that configure root logins in a manner unintended by the vendor, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Solaris print service for Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in unspecified ASP applications in Sun Java Active Server Pages (ASP) Server before 4.0.3 allow remote attackers to read or delete arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the Path parameter to the MapPath method.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the request handling implementation in Sun Java Active Server Pages (ASP) Server before 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an unspecified string field.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Virtual Machine in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 7, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted (1) application or (2) applet, as demonstrated by an application or applet that grants itself privileges to (a) read local files, (b) write to local files, or (c) execute local programs.

Buffer overflow in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 10, SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18, and SDK and JRE 1.3.x before 1.3.1_23 allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via unspecified vectors related to font processing.

Multiple buffer overflows in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 4, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allow context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted application, as demonstrated by (a) an application that grants itself privileges to (1) read local files, (2) write to local files, or (3) execute local programs; and as demonstrated by (b) a long value associated with a java-vm-args attribute in a j2se tag in a JNLP file, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow in the GetVMArgsOption function; aka CR 6557220.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 7, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files via the writeManifest method in the CacheEntry class, aka CR 6703909.

Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16 and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows remote attackers to create or delete arbitrary files via an untrusted application, aka CR 6704077.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Sun Java Platform Micro Edition (aka Java ME, J2ME, or mobile Java), as distributed in Sun Wireless Toolkit 2.5.2, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors. NOTE: as of 20080807, the only disclosure is a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. However, because it is from a company led by a well-known researcher, it is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Nokia Series 40 3rd edition devices allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, probably related to MIDP privilege escalation and persistent MIDlets, aka "ISSUES 3-10." NOTE: as of 20080807, the only disclosure is a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. However, because it is from a company led by a well-known researcher, it is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the FTP subsystem in Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0 through 4.0.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP GET request.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the adm_build_path function in sadmind in Sun Solstice AdminSuite on Solaris 8 and 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted request.

The RPC subsystem in Sun Solaris 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted request to procedure 8 in program 100000 (rpcbind), related to the XDR_DECODE operation and the taddr2uaddr function. NOTE: this might be a duplicate of CVE-2007-0165.

The BasicService in Sun Java Web Start allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs on a client machine via a file:// URL argument to the showDocument method.

in.dhcpd in the DHCP implementation in Sun Solaris 8 through 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_103, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via unknown DHCP requests related to the "number of offers," aka Bug ID 6713805.

Unspecified vulnerability in Java Web Start (JWS) and Java Plug-in with Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 10 and earlier; JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 16 and earlier; and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_18 and earlier allows untrusted JWS applications to gain privileges to access local files or applications via unknown vectors, aka 6727081.

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 10 and earlier; JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 16 and earlier; and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_18 and earlier does not properly enforce context of ZoneInfo objects during deserialization, which allows remote attackers to run untrusted applets and applications in a privileged context, as demonstrated by "deserializing Calendar objects".

The "Java Update" feature for Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 10 and earlier; JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 16 and earlier; and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_18 and earlier does not verify the signature of the JRE that is downloaded, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via DNS man-in-the-middle attacks.

Sun ScApp firmware 5.18.x, 5.19.x, and 5.20.0 through 5.20.10 on Sun Fire and Netra platforms allows remote attackers to access the System Controller (SC), the system console, and possibly the host OS, and cause a denial of service (shutdown or reboot), via spoofed IP packets.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in snoop on Sun Solaris 8 through 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_96, when the -o option is omitted, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SMB packet.

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in snoop on Sun Solaris 8 through 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_96, when the -o option is omitted, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in an SMB packet.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Virtual Machine for Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and JDK 6 Update 4 and earlier, 5.0 Update 14 and earlier, and SDK/JRE 1.4.2_16 and earlier allows remote attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted application or applet, a different issue than CVE-2008-1186, aka "the first issue."

Unspecified vulnerability in the Virtual Machine for Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and JDK 5.0 Update 13 and earlier, and SDK/JRE 1.4.2_16 and earlier, allows remote attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted application or applet, a different issue than CVE-2008-1185, aka "the second issue."
