-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2008.0613 -- [Win][Linux][HP-UX][Solaris] Vulnerability in Access Manager 7.1 may Allow Unauthorized Access to Resources 29 December 2008 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: Sun Java System Access Manager Publisher: Sun Microsystems Operating System: Solaris Linux variants Windows HP-UX Impact: Administrator Compromise Access: Remote/Unauthenticated Original Bulletin: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/printfriendly.do?assetkey=1-66-238416-1 Revision History: December 29 2008: Updated Resolution section as patches have been released June 13 2008: Initial Release - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- Solution Type: Sun Alert Solution 238416 : A Vulnerability in Access Manager 7.1 may Allow Unauthorized Access to Resources Product Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Date of Workaround Release: 11-Jun-2008 Date of Resolved Release: 24-Dec-2008 SA Document Body In AM 7.1 and later patches, a user can get to AM login screen, ... (see below for details): 1. Impact Under certain configurations, a security vulnerability in Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 may allow a remote unprivileged user to gain unauthorized access to resources or to gain administrator privileges without any authentication. 2. Contributing Factors This issue can occur in the following releases: * Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 without patch 140504-02 SPARC Platform * Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 without patch 126356-02 x86 Platform * Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 without patch 126357-02 Linux Platform * Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 without patch 126358-02 Windows Platform * Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 without patch 126359-02 HP-UX Platform * Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 To determine the version of Access Manager on a Solaris system, the following command can be run: % pkginfo -l SUNWamsvc PKGINST: SUNWamsvc NAME: Sun Java System Access Manager Services CATEGORY: application ARCH: all VERSION: 7.1,REV=06.12.19.15.12 To determine the version of Sun Java System Access Manager on other systems, the following command can be run: # <access-manager-install-dir>/bin/amadmin --version Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 # <access-manager-install-dir>/bin/amadmin --version Sun Java System Access Manager 2005Q4 Other versions of Sun Java System Access Manager are not affected. Note: Only Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 installations that are configured to use Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) 5.2 in any configuration or Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) 6 with a non-default configuration mode (that allows binds without a password) as the backend are affected by this issue. 3. Symptoms There are no predictable symptoms that would show that the described vulnerability has been exploited to gain unauthenticated access to resources. 4. Workaround Currently there is no workaround for this issue if AM 7.1 is configured to use DSEE 5.2 as the LDAP repository. To workaround this issue for Access Manager configured to use DSEE 6, DSEE 6 needs to be configured in the default DSEE 6 configuration which is to "require a bind password". Access Manager login will display "Authentication Failed." in this case thereby preventing this issue from being exploited. This can be done by executing the 'dsconf' command on the DSEE 6 as follows: # ./dsconf set-server-prop -e require-bind-pwd-enabled:on Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: To print the value of require-bind-pwd-enabled: # ./dsconf get-server-prop -e require-bind-pwd-enabled Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: require-bind-pwd-enabled : on After you have set the "require-bind-pwd-enabled" option to "on," you will be not be able to login to Access Manager with a blank password. 5. Resolution This issue is addressed in the following releases: * Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 with patch 140504-02 SPARC Platform * Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 with patch 126356-02 x86 Platform * Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 with patch 126357-02 Linux Platform * Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 with patch 126358-02 Windows Platform * Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 with patch 126359-02 For more information on Security Sun Alerts, see Technical Instruction ID 213557 http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-61-213557-1 This Sun Alert notification is being provided to you on an "AS IS" basis.
