Impact Sun Java System Identity Manager is affected by multiple security vulnerabilities with varying impacts. Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities may allow a local or remote unprivileged user the ability to execute unauthorized scripting code in a user's browser when that user clicks a link to Sun Java System Identity Manager. A certain vulnerability related to CSRF (Cross-site Request Forgery) may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to gain unauthorized access to the Administrator account. A further vulnerability may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to gain unauthorized access to certain files on the IDM server's filesystem. In addition, two further vulnerabilities may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to redirect the browser to unintended remote sites or to inject frames containing data from unintended sites. Sun would like to acknowledge with thanks, Richard Brain, Adrian Pastor and Jan Fry of ProCheckup Ltd. for bringing two of these issues to our attention. 2. Contributing Factors These issues can occur in the following releases (for all supported platforms): * Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 without patches 136848-02 and 139081-01 * Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 SP1 without patches 136849-02 and 139082-01 * Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 SP2 without patches 136850-02 and 139083-01 * Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 SP3 without patches 136851-02 and 139084-01 * Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 SP4 without patch 139085-01 * Sun Java System Identity Manager 7.0 without patches 136852-02 and 139086-01 * Sun Java System Identity Manager 7.1 without patches 136853-02 and 139087-01 Note: Identity Manager 8.0/8.1 is not affected by these issues. To determine the version of Sun Java System Identity Manager installed on a system, log in to the administrator console using a browser and hover the mouse pointer over the "Help" tab in the upper right portion of the masthead. The current version will be displayed similar to the following: Version Sun Java System Identity Manager 7.0 (20070523) 3. Symptoms There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described issues have been exploited. 4. Workaround There are no workarounds for these issues. Please see the Resolution section below. 5. Resolution These issues are addressed in the following releases (for all supported platforms): * Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 with patches 136848-02 or later and 139081-01 or later * Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 SP1 with patches 136849-02 or later and 139082-01 or later * Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 SP2 with patches 136850-02 or later and 139083-01 or later * Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 SP3 with patches 136851-02 or later and 139084-01 or later * Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 SP4 with patch 139085-01 or later * Sun Java System Identity Manager 7.0 with patches 136852-02 or later and 139086-01 or later * Sun Java System Identity Manager 7.1 with patches 136853-02 or later and 139087-01 or later Notes: This release includes a 'security guard' feature to mitigate against certain types of vulnerabilities related to the session infrastructure. However, the feature is not enabled by default. The feature requires the use of cookies. If cookies are disabled for security reasons, it will not be possible to enable this feature as it will prevent the use of Identity Manager. There is no user-sensitive data present in the cookie being sent, and it only lives in memory during a user's session. To enable the security guard (in addtion to, and after patch installation), change the system configuration 'security.csrfGuardToken.enable' to "true" using the IDE plugin.
