{"vuid":"VU#759996","idnumber":"759996","name":"Sun Java Reflection API security bypass vulnerabilities","keywords":["Sun","Java Runtime Environment","JRE","reflection API","privilege escalation","untrusted applet"],"overview":"Multiple vulnerabilities in the Sun Java Reflection API may allow an untrusted Java applet to bypass security restrictions and execute arbitrary code.","clean_desc":"The Sun Java Reflection API allows Java classes to determine information about other Java classes, such as public methods. There are seven vulnerabilities in the Java Reflection API that may allow a Java applet to bypass Java applet security restrictions. Once the security restrictions are bypassed, the malicious applet may be able to access and manipulate system resources. For more information on the Java security model see Sun's Java documentation, particularly the Applet Security FAQ. For more information regarding these vulnerabilities and how to correct them, please refer to Sun Alert 102171. Note these issues are different from the one reported in VU#974188.","impact":"By convincing a user to run a specially crafted Java applet, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the applet. Web browsers with Java support may run applets from untrusted web sites.","resolution":"Upgrade\nSun Alert 102171 suggests the following solutions: The first issue is addressed in the following releases: JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 4 and later\nSDK and JRE 1.4.2_09 and later\nSDK and JRE 1.3.1_17 and later\nThe second and third issues are addressed in the following releases: JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 5 and later\nSDK and JRE 1.4.2_10 and later\nThe fourth issue is addressed in the following releases: JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 5 and later\nThe fifth, sixth, and seventh issues are addressed in the following releases: JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 6 and later\nJ2SE 5.0 is available for download at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp\nhttp://java.com\nJ2SE 1.4.2 is available for download at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html","workarounds":"Do not access Java Applets from untrusted sources Attackers must deliver a malicious Java applet to a vulnerable system in order to take advantage of this vulnerability. By only accessing Java applets from known and trusted sources the chances of exploitation are reduced. Disable Java in web browser \nJava applets are commonly executed within a web browser. Disabling Java within the web browser may prevent an attacker from delivering a malicious applet to a vulnerable system.","sysaffected":"","thanks":"These vulnerabilities were reported in Sun Alert \n102171\n.
