Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in Sun Java System Identity Manager
1. 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)

issues have been exploited.
4. Workaround

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.
