Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 21 and earlier and 6 Update 45 and earlier; the Oracle JRockit component in Oracle Fusion Middleware R27.7.5 and earlier and R28.2.7 and earlier; and OpenJDK 7 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Libraries. NOTE: the previous information is from the June and July 2013 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from another vendor that this issue allows remote attackers to bypass verification of XML signatures via vectors related to a "Missing check for [a] valid DOMCanonicalizationMethod canonicalization algorithm."

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • The vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass XML signature verification by exploiting a missing check for a valid DOMCanonicalizationMethod canonicalization algorithm in the Java Libraries component.
  • Detection focus: monitor for exploitation attempts targeting DOMCanonicalizationMethod XML signature verification bypass in Java applications processing XML signatures.
  • Patch reference commit for OpenJDK7 upstream fix can be used to identify the exact code change and derive behavioral detection logic.
  • ·Affected versions are Oracle Java SE 7 Update 21 and earlier, Java SE 6 Update 45 and earlier, Oracle JRockit R27.7.5 and earlier, R28.2.7 and earlier, and OpenJDK 7. IBM Java packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 are explicitly not affected.
  • ·The vulnerability is in the Libraries component and involves XML signature processing; deployments not using XML digital signatures may have reduced exposure but are still vulnerable.
