Multiple vulnerabilities in Oracle Java SE

Multiple serious vulnerabilities have been found in Oracle Java SE components. Malicious users can exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a denial of service, read and write local files and possibly to obtain sensitive information.

Below is a complete list of vulnerabilities:

1. An unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent Networking can be exploited remotely by an unauthenticated attacker via multiple protocols to read and write (update, insert, delete) some of Java SE and Java SE Embedded accessible data;
2. An unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent AWT(Abstract Windows toolkit) can be exploited remotely by an unauthenticated attacker via multiple protocols possibly to obtain sensitive information;
3. An unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) can be exploited remotely by an unauthenticated attacker via multiple protocols possibly to cause a denial of service;
4. An unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent Networking can be exploited remotely by an unauthenticated attacker via FTP to write (update, insert, delete) some of Java SE and Java SE Embedded accessible data;
5. An unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent Security can be exploited remotely by an unauthenticated attacker via multiple protocols to write (update, insert, delete) some of Java SE and Java SE Embedded accessible data;
6. An unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent Networking can be exploited remotely by an unauthenticated attacker via SMTP to write (update, insert, delete) some of Java SE and Java SE Embedded accessible data.

Technical details

All vulnerabilities are applicable to Java deployments (usually in clients, which run sandboxed Java Applets or sandboxed Jawa Web Start Applications and rely on the Java sandbox security) that use untrusted code (for example, code from the Internet). Java deployments running trusted code (for example, code installed by an administrator) are not vulnerable.

Successful exploits of all vulnerabilities require user interaction (with not the same person as the unauthenticated attacker).

Vulnerabilities (1), (5) are related to Java SE, Java SE Embedded components.

Vulnerabilities (3), (4), (6) are related to Java SE, Java SE Embedded and JRockit components.

Vulnerability (2) is related only to Java SE.

Oracle Java SE 6u141
Oracle Java SE 7u131
Oracle Java SE 8u121
Oracle Java SE Embedded 8u121
Oracle JRockit R28.3.13
