TITLE:
Sun Java DMK JMX RMI-IIOP Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24497

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24497/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Sun Solaris 10
http://secunia.com/product/4813/

SOFTWARE:
Sun Java Dynamic Management Kit (DMK) 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/13635/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Sun Java Dynamic Management Kit
(DMK), which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain
escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to an unspecified error in the JMX
RMI-IIOP API and can be exploited to gain access to certain local
data. Successful exploitation requires that the user creates a JMX
RMI-IIOP server application and a privileged user connects to the
application.

The security issue is reported in the following versions:
* Java Dynamic Management Kit 5.1 unbundled product with JDK 5.0
update 4 and earlier, or JDK 1.4 or earlier (for the SPARC, x86,
Windows, and Linux platform).
* Solaris 10 with JDK 5.0 update 4 and earlier, or JDK 1.4 or earlier
(for the SPARC and x86 platform)
