Discussion

Sun Java ASP Server Remote Arbitrary Shell Command Injection Vulnerabilities

Sun Java ASP Server is prone to multiple remote command-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input data.

Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary shell commands in the context of the webserver hosting the vulnerable application. This may facilitate the complete remote compromise of affected computers because the application runs with superuser privileges.

Versions prior to Sun Java ASP Server 4.0.3 are vulnerable.
