Title: Sun Java Web Console LibWebconsole_Services.SO Format String Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Sun Java Web Console provides a common location for users to access web-based Sun system management applications.
The application is prone to a format-string vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before passing it as the format specifier to a formatted-printing function.
This issue presents itself in the '/usr/lib/libwebconsole_services.so' shared-object library; a call to the libc 'syslog' function is made with an incorrect number of parameters. As a result, an attacker may manipulate message buffers associated with the 'syslog' function.
A successful attack may crash the application or possibly lead to arbitrary code execution, which may help the attacker gain unauthorized access to privileged data or escalate their privileges in the context of the user running the application.
