Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 6u65 and 7u45, Java SE Embedded 7u45, and OpenJDK 7 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Security. NOTE: the previous information is from the January 2014 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that the Security component does not properly handle null XML namespace (xmlns) attributes during XML document canonicalization, which allows attackers to escape the sandbox.

Una vulnerabilidad no especificada en Oracle Java SE versiones 6u65 y 7u45, Java SE Embedded versión 7u45 y OpenJDK 7, permite a los atacantes remotos afectar la confidencialidad, integridad y disponibilidad por medio de vectores desconocidos relacionados con la Seguridad. NOTA: la información anterior procede de la CPU de enero de 2014. Oracle no ha comentado las notificaciones de terceros de que el componente Security no maneja apropiadamente los atributos de espacio de nombres XML null (xmlns) durante la canonicalización de documentos XML, lo que permite a los atacantes escapar del sandbox.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in java-1.7.0-openjdk. An input validation flaw was discovered in the font layout engine in the 2D component. A specially crafted font file could trigger Java Virtual Machine memory corruption when processed. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the CORBA, JNDI, and Libraries components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the Serviceability, Security, CORBA, JAAS, JAXP, and Networking components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions. It was discovered that the Beans component did not restrict processing of XML external entities. This flaw could cause a Java application using Beans to leak sensitive information, or affect application availability. It was discovered that the JSSE component could leak timing information during the TLS/SSL handshake. This could possibly lead to disclosure of information about the used encryption keys. The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.
