CVE-2012-1682

Vulnerabilidad no especificada en el componente Java Runtime Environment (JRE) en Oracle Java SE v7 Update v6 y anteriores que afecta a la confidencialidad, integridad y disponibilidad, a través de vectores desconocidos relacionados con (Beans), una vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2012-3136.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle Java. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the java.beans.Expression class. Due to unsafe handling of reflection of privileged classes inside the Expression class it is possible for untrusted code to gain access to privileged methods and properties. This can result in remote code execution under the context of the current process.

This update corrects several security vulnerabilities in the IBM Java Runtime Environment shipped as part of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.5. In a typical operating environment, these are of low security risk as the runtime is not used on untrusted applets. Several flaws were fixed in the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment.
