ZDI-12-039: Oracle Java Web Start java-vm-args Command Argument Injection Remote Code Execution
- http://atlas.arbor.net/briefs/index#-2068343742
Severity: High Severity
Feb 24, 2012 - "Exploit code is available for a recently patched Java vulnerability.
Analysis: Oracle patched a series of Java security issues in February and at least one of these issues now has publicly available exploit code, as published in the Metasploit framework. While Metasploit is intended for authorized penetration testing purposes, attackers have no such scruples and will happily leverage freshly published exploit code to develop their own and incorporate the exploit into their malware kits. Such exploits also pay off for the attackers who launch targeted attacks, as many targets do not patch in a timely manner."

Severity: High Severity
Published: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 19:20
Java security vulnerability patched in February is now being used widely by criminals to install malware.
Analysis: Patch! Watch for outdated Java on the network as the presence of old Java User-Agents is often a sign that a system has been exploited and Java is now doing the attackers bidding, typically downloading something evil.

It's much smaller than the JDK, which reduces what's known in trendy-speak as your attack surface area. That's always a good thing. This new Java version includes a longish list of bugfixes*. These include: a few ominous-sounding ones with more than a whiff of vulnerability about them, such as 7166498 - JVM crash in ClassVerifier; the risky-sounding 7155051 - DNS provider may return incorrect results; and the intriguingly sticky-sounding 7178177 - Debug spewage when applets start up. With that in mind, I suggest you update as soon as practicable."

New critical Java flaw claimed

26 Sep 2012- "Oracle's Java is making a play to wrest back the title of world's leakiest code from Internet Explorer, after Polish researcher Adam Gowdiak claimed another critical flaw exists in the product. The -new- claim is stated on the Full Disclosure mailing list where Gowdiak writes that the newly-found flaw impacts “all latest versions of Oracle Java SE software” and that it allows “a complete Java security sandbox bypass in the environment of Java SE 5, 6 and 7.” That's apparently worse than previous exploits, as they only hit Java 7..."

Severity: High Severity
October 17, 2012
Oracle releases Java security patches that should be applied as soon as possible.
Analysis: Given the damage that has been caused by malware infections and system intrusions caused by vulnerable versions of Java being exploited it is likely that the security holes patched herein will also be used by cyber-criminals, nation-state attackers and others in their quest to compromise systems and pursue a malicious agenda. Limiting the scope of browser-based Java to one specific browser that's only used on trusted applications and also wrapping Java on any Microsoft platform with a technology such as EMET to reduce the risk of future exploitation can help provide additional protection for this widely attacked software.

Oct 18, 2012 -"... the ugly stuff. The biggest issue is that Oracle didn't patch all the known problems with Java. As a result, even these latest and greatest editions of Java remain vulnerable to a known critical flaw. Adam Gowdiak is the security researcher who found many of the recent flaws in Java. His last flaw became public knowledge on September 25th. Since the problem was exploitable on Java versions 5, 6 and 7, Gowdiak estimated that it put 1 billion users at risk. A couple security organizations, Heise and Kaspersky, have been in contact with Gowdiak about how well the latest versions of Java patch the flaws he discovered. Gowdiak told Heise Security "that a critical security hole that allows attackers to break out of the Java sandbox continues to exist in Java". He claims that Oracle told him that the just-released package of 30 bug fixes was "already in its final testing phase" when he reported the September 25th flaw. In other words, he was too late to the party. He told Kaspersky the same thing. The flaw that puts a billion users at risk won't be patched until February 19, 2013. This is not to suggest, in any way, ignoring the latest updates to Java. Just recognize that they make you safer (30 bugs were fixed) rather than safe..."

Jan 16, 2013 - "Less than 24 hours after Oracle patched a dangerous security hole in its Java software that was being used to seize control over Windows PCs, miscreants in the Underweb were already selling an exploit for a different and apparently still-unpatched zero-day vulnerability in Java...

This seller also said his Java 0day — in the latest version of Java (Java 7 Update 11) — was not yet part of any exploit kits, including the Cool Exploit Kit... this same thing happened not long after Oracle released a Java update in October; a few weeks later, a Java 0day was being sold to a few private users on this same Underweb forum..."

Oracle's Java Patch Shipped with Additional Vulnerabilities...
Elevated Severity
January 23, 2013
The latest version of Java did not fully address the most recent security issue, and other issues have been found.
Analysis: Java is a very hot attack target for some time, implicated in many attacks ranging from commodity cybercrime to targeted espionage attacks. Properly hardening and restricting Java is critical if an organization requires it's use. If java, and other plug-ins are not required for core functionality, they should be removed from controlled environments in order to reduce security risks. The general principle of hardening included reducing the attack surface by giving attackers less to attack...
- http://atlas.arbor.net/briefs/index#753048269
Severity: High Severity
January 28, 2013
Java: still problematic despite progress being made.
Analysis: Containing Java is important - restrict it to browsers that are only used for sites that must require it. Click-to-run techniques inside modern browsers can help reduce the attack surface. Additionally, Java User-Agents crossing the wire in a post-compromise scenario can be detected and action taken when such activity is unexpected. Sniffing the wire for older versions of Java is even more effective, as the chance of a compromise traffic is even higher.

There are an average of 1.6 versions of Java on every endpoint, and nearly half of all endpoints have more than two versions of the application. Fewer than 1 percent run the newest version of Java: version 7 Update 25, Bit9 found... why don't enterprises merely purge older versions of Java? It's the old legacy application problem.

Java 6 0-Day exploit-in-the-wild

Aug 26, 2013 - "CVE-2013-2463 is a vulnerability in the Java 2D subcomponent, that was addressed by Oracle in the June 2013 Critical Patch Update for Java 7. Java 6 (including the latest u45) has the same vulnerability, as Oracle acknowledges in the CPU, but since Java 6 has become unsupported as of its End-of-Life in April 2013, there is no patch for the vulnerability... this time, things have become a bit more serious. As Matthew Schwartz reports in Informationweek*, F-Secure has seen exploits for this vulnerability in Java 6 in the wild. Further they have seen it included in the Neutrino exploit kit, which guarantees that it will find widespread adoption. In addition, we still see very high rates of Java 6 installed (a bit over 50%), which means many organizations are vulnerable..."

A manual configuration change can allow Java SE clients and server endpoints, which have been updated with this Critical Patch Update, to continue to temporarily use SSL v3.0.

End of Public Updates for Oracle JDK 8
> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
Sep 12, 2017 - "... Oracle will not post further updates of Java SE 8 to its public download sites for commercial use after September 2018. Customers who need continued access to critical bug fixes and security fixes as well as general maintenance for Java SE 8 or previous versions can get long term support through Oracle Java SE Advanced, Oracle Java SE Advanced Desktop, or Oracle Java SE Suite. All other users are recommended to upgrade to the latest major releases of the Oracle JDK or OpenJDK.
Oracle does -not- plan to migrate desktops from Java 8 to Java 9 through the auto update feature. Instead of relying on a pre-installed standalone JRE, we will begin encouraging application developers to deliver JREs with their applications. More details will be made available through early 2018...
Long Term Support...
** Java SE 9 will be a short term release, and users should immediately transition to the next release (18.3) when available.
*** Oracle has proposed a new version scheme (YY.M) starting in March, 2018. Java SE 18.3 will be a short term release and users should transition to the next release when available."
