"The ObjectSerializationDecoder in Apache MINA uses Java's native deserialization protocol to process incoming serialized data but lacks the necessary security checks and defenses," the project maintainers said
implementations) on the class path can be abused by attackers during the lookup process. Leveraging restrictive deserialization filters (see Guideline 8-6 for more information), disabling LDAP serialization via [27], and more generally following the deserialization guidance covered in Section 8. Guide...
First it provides knowledge about the attack surface of Java-based software and then presents the attackers mindset to break the defenders assumptions. Using runtime code expertise to identify hooks to execute own code or remote control existing code is an important skill, demonstrated with analysis...
While these applets were intended to enhance web functionality, they also allowed attackers to run arbitrary code on a user’s machine. Signed applets, compared to unsigned ones, differed significantly in terms of their security sandbox and level of privilege. Essentially, signed applets could ...
Examples of damages, attackers, and techniques follow. Significant damages include: 1. Denial-of-service – An attacker can monopolize resources on the host machine. For instance, an attacker can launch a runaway procedure on the Java DB virtual machine, fill up the file system, or pepper ...
It exposes the user to a variety of potential threats that can be silently installed on a system without users' knowledge. These threats may be backdoor programs that allow remote attackers to take control of users' systems, information-stealing Trojans that steal sensitive data from affec...
The results are compared: the lower dice score will lose, and the troop of owned by the player who rolled the dice with the lower score will be killed. Because defense has the advantage, in case of equal score defense wins In case of a disparity in the dice numbers, AFTER the sorting...
When flawed code is present, attackers may be able to attack a server or access data at the back end using SQL injection attacks or other exploits. Developer training and static software analysis tools can reduce the danger, but neither of these safeguards can mitigate vulnerabilities discovered ...
(on any supporting system), which is in fact a big reason why the technology has become popular with the academic and open-source communities alike. Attackers wishing to make the biggest “splash” need only exploit the large amount of systems out there that support and use Java to provide ...
Disclosure of version information, usually overlooked by developers but disclosed by default by the systems and frameworks in use, can pose a significant security risk depending on the production environement. Once this information is public, attackers can use it to identify potential security holes ...
