The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers). An example of a network attack is an attacker causing a denial of service by sending a specially crafted TCP packet across a wide area network (e.g., CVE-2004-0230).
Attack Complexity
Low
AC
The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Privileges Required
None
PR
The attacker is unauthenticated prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
Scope
Unchanged
S
An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In the case of a vulnerability in a virtualized environment, an exploited vulnerability in one guest instance would not affect neighboring guest instances.
Confidentiality
High
C
There is total information disclosure, resulting in all data on the system being revealed to the attacker, or there is a possibility of the attacker gaining control over confidential data.
Integrity
High
I
There is a total compromise of system integrity. There is a complete loss of system protection, resulting in the attacker being able to modify any file on the target system.
Availability
High
A
There is a total shutdown of the affected resource. The attacker can deny access to the system or data, potentially causing significant loss to the organization.

HPSBUX01215 REVISION: 1
SSRT051004 rev.1 - HP-UX Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Untrusted
Applet Elevates Privilege
NOTICE:
The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon
as soon as possible.
INITIAL RELEASE:
04 October 2005
POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT:
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) may allow untrusted applet to
elevate privileges.
SOURCE:
Hewlett-Packard Company
HP Software Security Response Team
VULNERABILITY SUMMARY:
A potential security vulnerability in Java(TM) Runtime Environment
(JRE) on HP-UX may allow elevated privileges.
REFERENCES:
SunAlert #101749, CAN-2005-1974
SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
Java 5.0.0 release (aka 1.5.0.0) as well as Java 1.4.2.08 release
and earlier.
BACKGROUND:
A potential vulnerability in Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE)
may allow an untrusted applet to elevate its privileges. For
example, an applet may grant itself permissions to read and write
local files or execute local applications that are accessible to
the user running the untrusted applet.
There are no reported attacks based on this vulnerability.
AFFECTED VERSIONS
NOTE: To determine if a system has an affected version,
search the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"
for an affected fileset. Then determine if a fixed
revision or applicable patch is installed.
