CVE-2010-3561
Description
Unspecified vulnerability in the CORBA component in Oracle Java SE and Java for Business 6 Update 21 and 5.0 Update 25 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the October 2010 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable downstream vendor that this involves the use of the privileged accept method in the ServerSocket class, which does not limit which hosts can connect and allows remote attackers to bypass intended network access restrictions.
AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE CORBA component allows remote attackers to bypass network restrictions via ServerSocket accept method.
Vulnerability
The vulnerability resides in the CORBA component of Oracle Java SE and Java for Business versions 6 Update 21 and 5.0 Update 25 [4]. The issue involves the privileged accept method in the ServerSocket class, which does not restrict which hosts can connect, allowing remote attackers to bypass intended network access restrictions [3].
Exploitation
An attacker with network access to a system running the vulnerable Java version can exploit this by sending a specially crafted CORBA request. The lack of host restrictions in the ServerSocket accept method allows the attacker to bypass network access controls without authentication [3].
Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to remote unauthorized information disclosure, modification, and denial of service (DoS) [1][2]. The attacker may gain the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Java process, potentially leading to full system compromise.
Mitigation
Oracle addressed this vulnerability in the October 2010 Critical Patch Update. Users should upgrade to Java SE 6 Update 22 or later, or Java SE 5.0 Update 26 or later [4]. Affected products from VMware, HP, and Hitachi have also released patched versions [1][2][4].
