(Red Hat Issues Fix) Sun JavaDoc Input Validation Hole Permits Cross-Site Scripting Attacks
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1018516
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1018516
CVE Reference:   CVE-2007-3503   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Aug 6 2007
Impact:   Disclosure of authentication information, Disclosure of user information, Execution of arbitrary code via network, Modification of user information
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): prior to 5.0 Update 12, also 6
Description:   A vulnerability was reported in Sun JavaDoc. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

The JavaDoc tool in Sun JDK does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before generating documentation pages. A remote user can cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site hosting the Sun JavaDoc pages and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.

Sun credits Martin Straka with reporting this vulnerability.
Impact:   A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site hosting the Sun JavaDoc pages, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
Solution:   Red Hat has released a fix.

                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Critical: java-1.5.0-sun security update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2007:0818-01
Advisory URL:      https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0818.html
Issue date:        2007-08-06
Updated on:        2007-08-06
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras
CVE Names:         CVE-2007-3503 CVE-2007-3655 CVE-2007-3698 
                   CVE-2007-3922 
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated java-1.5.0-sun packages that correct several security issues are
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Desktop version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64

3. Problem description:

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) contains the software and tools
that users need to run applets and applications written using the Java
programming language.

The Javadoc tool was able to generate HTML documentation pages that
contained cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.  A remote attacker
could use this to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. (CVE-2007-3503)

The Java Web Start URL parsing component contained a buffer overflow
vulnerability within the parsing code for JNLP files. A remote attacker
could create a malicious JNLP file that could trigger this flaw and execute
arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2007-3655)

The JSSE component did not correctly process SSL/TLS handshake requests. A
remote attacker who is able to connect to a JSSE-based service could
trigger this flaw leading to a denial-of-service. (CVE-2007-3698)

A flaw was found in the applet class loader. An untrusted applet could use
this flaw to circumvent network access restrictions, possibly connecting to
services hosted on the machine that executed the applet. (CVE-2007-3922)

All users of java-sun-1.5.0 should upgrade to these packages, which contain
Sun Java 1.5.0 Update 12 that corrects these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  

This update is available via Red Hat Network.  Details on how to use 
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

246765 - CVE-2007-3503 HTML files generated with Javadoc are vulnerable to a XSS
248864 - CVE-2007-3655 A buffer overflow vulnerability in Java Web Start URL parsing code
249533 - CVE-2007-3922 Vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment May Allow an Untrusted Applet to Circumvent Network Access Restrictions
249539 - CVE-2007-3698 Java Secure Socket Extension Does Not Correctly Process SSL/TLS Handshake Requests Resulting in a Denial of
 Service (DoS) Condition
