iDefense Security Advisory 06.03.08 - Remote exploitation of multiple command injection vulnerabilities in Sun Microsystem's Java System Active Server Pages allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. These vulnerabilities exist within several ASP applications that execute shell commands. The problem lies in the fact that these applications do not filter or escape the parameters passed to these commands. By inserting shell meta-characters into an HTTP request, an attacker is able to execute arbitrary shell commands. iDefense has confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities within version 4.0.2 of Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Java System Active Server Pages. Older versions are suspected to be vulnerable.
