[cobalt-security] Sun Cobalt Control Station - remote root exploit!



Hi all,

Everyone with a Sun Cobalt Controlstation should pull up the drawbridge and 
firewall the Apache ports 80, 81, 443 and 444. Or power the thing down as 
fast as you can.

I just have gotten my ControlStation hacked due to a vulnerability in the GUI. 
Fortunately my IDS stuff caught it reasonably quick before any damage could 
be done.

The problem is apparently that a particular page in the GUI  is accessible 
without authentication and can be tricked into spawning a rootshell.
