Title: Sun JDK/JRE: Applet privilege escalation
Date: February 15, 2006
Bugs: #122156
ID: 200602-07

Synopsis
========

Sun's Java Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) do
not adequately constrain applets from privilege escalation and
arbitrary code execution.

Background
==========

Sun's JDK and JRE provide interpreters for Java Applets in a sandboxed
environment. These implementations provide the Java Web Start
technology that can be used for easy client-side deployment of Java
applications.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-java/sun-jdk < 1.4.2.10 >= 1.4.2.10
2 dev-java/sun-jre-bin < 1.4.2.10 >= 1.4.2.10
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
===========

Applets executed using JRE or JDK can use "reflection" APIs functions
to elevate its privileges beyond the sandbox restrictions. Adam Gowdiak
discovered five vulnerabilities that use this method for privilege
escalation. Two more vulnerabilities were discovered by the vendor.
Peter Csepely discovered that Web Start Java applications also can an
escalate their privileges.

Impact
======

A malicious Java applet can bypass Java sandbox restrictions and hence
access local files, connect to arbitrary network locations and execute
arbitrary code on the user's machine. Java Web Start applications are
affected likewise.

Workaround
==========

Select another Java implementation using java-config.

Resolution
==========

All Sun JDK users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10"

All Sun JRE users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.4.2.10"
