Description
Multiple serious vulnerabilities have been found in Oracle Java SE components. Malicious users can exploit these vulnerabilities possibly to obtain sensitive information.
Below is a complete list of vulnerabilities:
- An unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent JCE (Java Cryptography Extension) can be exploited remotely by an unauthenticated attacker with logon to the infrastructure possibly to obtain sensitive information;
- 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.
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).
Vulnerability (1) is related to Java SE, Java SE Embedded and JRockit components.
Vulnerability (2) is related only to Java SE.
