Sun Java System Identity Manager Security Vulnerabilities (see below for full details)


1. Impact

Sun Java System Identity Manager (IdM) is affected by multiple security
vulnerabilities with varying impacts as follows:

A remote unprivileged user may be able to gain unauthorized access to data being
transferred between clients and the IdM server due to some connections not being
secured with SSL (17763).

A local or remote unprivileged user may be able to determine the existence of
valid IdM account names (18052, 18104).

A user with an account on the IdM server may be able to change the password
of other IdM accounts (18578).

A user with an account on the IdM server may be able to perform some
actions with additional capabilities than those assigned (18946, 20352).

A remote unprivileged user may be able to execute unauthorized HTML code or
client-side scripts in a user's browser due to multiple Cross-Site Scripting
(XSS) vulnerabilities (19033, 19595, 19659, 19660, 19661, 19683).

A user with an account on the IdM server may be able to submit arbitrary
commands to the Admin Console and then be able to perform administrative
actions such as creating accounts (19115).

A local or remote unprivileged user may be able to execute arbitrary
commands on Unix/Linux based resource adapters (20174).

A local or remote unprivileged user may be able to modify IdM system
configuration data (20224).
