Technical description

The com.ibm.CORBA.iiop.ClientDelegate class in IBM Java 1.4.2 before 1.4.2 SR13-FP18, 5.0 before 5.0 SR16-FP3, 6 before 6 SR14, 6.0.1 before 6.0.1 SR6, and 7 before 7 SR5 improperly exposes the invoke method of the java.lang.reflect.Method class, which allows remote attackers to call setSecurityManager and bypass a sandbox protection mechanism via vectors related to the AccessController doPrivileged block.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from ibm. Update java to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
