Category : Security
Release Phase : Resolved
Bug Id : 6828462, 6823593, 6782659, 6855978, 6648665
Product : Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0
Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1
Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2
Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3
Date of Resolved Release : 23-Dec-2009
Directory Proxy Server Provided with Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6
is Subject to Denial of Service (DoS) and May Allow Unauthorized Access to
Certain Data
1. Impact
Multiple security vulnerabilities in the Directory Proxy Server
provided with Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.x may allow a
remote unprivileged user to do the following:
- - cause a client operation to run temporarily with another client's
privileges under certain circumstances
- - cause the server to stop responding to new client connections, using
specially forged packets
- - prevent the server from sending results to other 'psearch' clients
using a specially designed 'psearch' client"
2. Contributing Factors
These issues can occur in the following releases (for Solaris 9 and 10
on SPARC and x86 platforms, for Linux, and Windows):
PatchZIP (Compressed Archive) and Native package versions:
* Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0
* Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1
* Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2
* Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3
* Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3.1 without
patch 141958-01
Note: Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 is not affected by this
issue.
To determine if the Directory Proxy Server part of Directory Server
Enterprise Edition running on a system is affected, the following
command can be used:
$ dpadm -V
If the output contains the version string 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 or 6.3.1,
the system is affected by this issue.
3. Symptoms
If the server is affected by these vulnerabilities, the following
symptoms can be seen:
- - A client operation running temporarily with another client's
privileges may fail if temporary privileges are not suitable.
- - The server doesn't answer to new client connections until restarted
and messages are logged in the error log.
- - The server consumes 100% of a given Core/CPU and psearch clients do
not receive updates.
4. Workaround
There is no workaround for these issues. Please see the Resolution
section below.
5. Resolution
These issues are addressed in the following release (for Solaris 9 and
10 on SPARC and x86 platforms, for Linux, and Windows):
* Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3.1 with
patch 141958-01 or later
Systems with Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition
versions before 6.3.1 are recommended to upgrade to 6.3.1 and then
install the resolution patch listed above.
The upgrade procedure is described in "Sun Java System Directory
Server Enterprise Edition 6.3.1 Release Notes" in Chapter 2 at:
http://docs.sun.com/doc/820-5817/gibic
