Descriptions

The "Java Update" feature for 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 verify the signature of the JRE that is downloaded, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via DNS man-in-the-middle attacks.

La funcionalidad de actualización de Java en Java Runtime Environment (JRE) en Sun JDK y JRE v6 Update 10 y anteriores; en JDK y JRE v5.0 Update 16 y anteriores; y en SDK y JRE v1.4.2_18 y anteriores no verifica la firma del JRE que descarga, permitiendo a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección mediante ataques DNS de man-in-the-middle (hombre en medio).
