Description Marcel Holtmann 2006-11-15 22:51:17 UTC

Reported by Symantec:

From JBoss Documentation: "This class wraps the file system for deployments. It
gives a file-based persistence mechanism for deployments. Used by web-console to
store -service.xml files, -ds.xml files, etc..., really anything text based.
Deployments are tied to a specific name and that name corresponds to the base
file name."

The class can be abused to create files outside of the application root directory.

The method setBaseDir() of the class
org.jboss.console.manager.DeploymentFileRepository does not check if the basedir
is set to a directory outside of the application root directory via directory
traversal. In conjunction with the usage of the methods store() and remove(), it
is possible to create and delete arbitrary files on the target system.

The class is used by JBoss Web Server's web-console/jmx-console which by default
is accessible from remote by unauthenticated users. During our research, it was
possible to create and execute JSP-Files and to overwrite configuration files.

The class may also be used by other JBoss Applications, thus making them
vulnerable  to the same attacks.

Due to JBoss Web Server's missing default authentication enforcement, complete
control of the application is also possible.
