An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-5353 exists.\n\nAffected product: Sun Jdk. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5353/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5353/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5353","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5353/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5353","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3fx3-qcjv-qr6h","MINI-27v4-69g8-758c","MINI-5xhf-9jfp-ch22","MINI-84jf-7m9x-cg3x","MINI-c5vp-48vx-6777","MINI-gw86-7c97-3qhx","MINI-q3rr-pfw8-cvpf","MINI-rpq4-xcc4-569m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java Runtime Environment","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by exploiting improper deserialization of ZoneInfo objects in the Java Runtime Environment.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"jdk","vendor":"sun"},{"product":"jre","vendor":"sun"},{"product":"sdk","vendor":"sun"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 10 and earlier; JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 16 and earlier; and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_18 and earlier does not properly enforce context of ZoneInfo objects during deserialization, which allows remote attackers to run untrusted applets and applications in a privileged context, as demonstrated by \"deserializing Calendar objects\".","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":4,"first_seen":"2008-12-03","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-12-03","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"9948","stars":null,"title":"Sun Java Runtime and Development Kit 6 Update 10 - Calendar Deserialization (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2008-12-03","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/multi/browser/java_calendar_deserialize","stars":null,"title":"Sun Java Calendar Deserialization Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2009-05-20","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"8753","stars":null,"title":"Apple Mac OSX - Java applet Remote Deserialization Remote (2)"},{"date":"2010-09-20","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"16293","stars":null,"title":"Sun Java - Calendar Deserialization (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2011-01-08","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"16302","stars":null,"title":"Signed Applet Social Engineering - Code Execution (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5353","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sun:jdk","products":["sun:jdk","sun:jre","sun:sdk"],"type":"deserialization","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":44,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5354"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5352"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-12-05","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3521","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-10-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3548","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-10-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3549","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-10-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3554","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-10-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0802","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0814","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0815","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by exploiting improper deserialization of ZoneInfo objects in the Java Runtime Environment.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5353/"}
