Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 7u51 and 8, and Java SE Embedded 7u51, allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Libraries, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-0432 and CVE-2014-2402.

Vulnerabilidad no especificada en Oracle Java SE 7u51 y 8, y Java SE Embedded 7u51, permite a atacantes remotos afectar la confidencialidad, integridad y disponibilidad a través de vectores desconocidos relacionados con las librerías, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2014-0432 y CVE-2014-2402.

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 dropArguments. With the usage of this method, it is possible to disable the security manager and run code as privileged. This allows a malicious applet to execute attacker-supplied code resulting in remote code execution under the context of the current user.
