4. Affected Components Description
==================================

“The next kernel in the JDE.INI file is the Server Administration Workbench 
(SAW) kernel. This kernel is responsible for collecting and reporting
information about the kernels in EnterpriseOne. The SAW kernel will connect to 
each of the kernels to determine information including:

        - Number of users connected to the kernel (if applicable)
        - Number of requests processes by the kernel
        - Average time to complete the request
        - Outstanding requests
        - Users connected to the kernel process (if applicable)

This information is displayed in the SAW or Server Manager applications. This 
is critical to monitoring the health of the EnterpriseOne kernels and
providing a view into how the system is executing .” JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

5. Vulnerability Details
========================

If a specially crafted message is sent to the JDENET service (specifically to 
the  SAW Kernel), a user can remotely change the JDE.INI configuration
file. This situation might help the attacker to perform complex attacks that 
would lead in a full compromise of the system.

Further technical details about this issue are not disclosed at this moment 
with the purpose of providing enough time to affected customers to patch
their systems and protect against the exploitation of the described 
vulnerability.
