Sun Java JRE XML Signature Command Injection (102993) (Unix)

high Nessus Plugin ID 64822

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Unix host has an application that may allow arbitrary command injection.

Description

The version of Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on the remote host reportedly does not securely process XSLT stylesheets containing XSLT Transforms in XML Signatures. If an attacker can pass a specially crafted XSLT stylesheet to a trusted Java application running on the remote host, it may be possible to execute arbitrary code subject to the privileges under which the application operates.

Solution

Upgrade to Sun Java JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 or later and, if necessary, remove any affected versions.
