Descriptions

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier, and OpenJDK 6 and 7, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving reflection, Libraries, "improper toString calls," and the JDBC driver manager, as demonstrated by James Forshaw during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2013.

El componente Java Runtime Environment (JRE) en Java SE versión 7 Update 17 y anteriores, y OpenJDK versiones 6 y 7 de Oracle, permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de vectores no especificados que implican reflexión, Libraries, "improper toString calls," y el administrador del controlador JDBC , como fue demostrado por James Forshaw durante una competencia de Pwn2Own en CanSecWest 2013.

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 usage of java.sql.DriverManager. The issue lies in an implicit call to toString() that is made within a doPrivileged block. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
