Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 update 4 and earlier, and 6 update 32 and earlier, allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Deployment, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-1722.

Vulnerabilidad no especificada en el componente Java Runtime Enviroment (JRE) en Oracle Java SE v7 actualización 4 y anteriores, y v6 actualización 32 y anteriores, permite a atacantes remotos afectar la confidencialidad, integridad y disponibilidad a través de vectores relacionados con el despliegue, una vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2012-1722.

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 because it is possible to change system properties through trusted JNLP files. If a JNLP file requests "<all-permissions/>" and only references signed, trusted JAR files, it can set all System properties. By referencing a trusted JNLP file from an untrusted one it is possible to change System Properties that can lead to remote code execution under the context of the current user.
