Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 update 4 and earlier, 6 update 32 and earlier, 5 update 35 and earlier, 1.4.2_37 and earlier, and JavaFX 2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to 2D.

Vulnerabilidad no especificada en el Java Runtime Environment (JRE), componente de Oracle Java SE 7 Update 4 y anteriores, 6 Update 32 y anteriores, 5 actualización 35 y anteriores, v1.4.2_37 y anteriores, y JavaFX 2.1 y versiones anteriores permite a atacantes remotos afectar a la confidencialidad , la integridad y la disponibilidad a través de vectores desconocidos relacionados con el 2D.

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 BasicService.showDocument Java Webstart function. This function allows additional parameters to be passed to the browser. Depending on which browser the user has set as default browser this could lead to remote code execution under the context of the current user.

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.
