Discussion

Sun Java System Web Proxy Server Multiple Unspecified Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

It is reported that Sun Java System Web Proxy Server, and its Administration Server application are susceptible to multiple unspecified buffer overflow vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a failure of the application to properly perform bounds checks prior to copying user-supplied data into memory buffers.

These vulnerabilities reportedly allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Unsuccessful attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities will likely result in the application crashing, denying service to legitimate users.

The Web proxy server is configured to run as 'nobody' by default, and the Administration Server is configured to run as 'root'. By exploiting vulnerabilities in the Administration Server, attackers may execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges.
