TITLE:
Sun Java System Access Manager Two Security Issues

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26976

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26976/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Sun Java System Access Manager 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/7284/

DESCRIPTION:
Two security issues have been reported in Sun Java System Access
Manager, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain
security restrictions.

1) An unspecified error in Sun Java System Access Manager can cause
container-based authentication to work incorrectly. This can be
exploited to access administrative applications, e.g. the Admin
Console.

Successful exploitation requires that Sun Java System Access Manager
is installed in a Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 container
and the container is restarted.

2) An unspecified error in Sun Java System Access Manager can
potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of a deployed application.

Successful exploitation requires that Sun Java Access Manager is
installed in a Sun Java System Application Server 8.x container.

The security issues are reported in Sun Java Access Manager 7.1 for
Solaris 8, 9, and 10 for both the SPARC and x86 platforms, and for
Linux, Windows, and HP-UX.

SOLUTION:
The vendor recommends editing the "server.policy" file (please see
vendor advisory for details).

A final resolution is reportedly pending completion.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
