Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 5.0u71, 6u81, 7u67, and 8u20; Java SE Embedded 7u60; and JRockit R27.8.3, and R28.3.3 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality and integrity via vectors related to JSSE.

Vulnerabilidad sin especificar en Oracle Java SE 5.0u71, 6u81, 7u67, y 8u20; Java SE Embedded 7u60; y JRockit R27.8.3, y R28.3.3 permite a atacantes remotos afectar la confidencialidad y la integridad a través de vectores relacionados con JSSE.

It was discovered that the TLS/SSL implementation in the JSSE component in OpenJDK failed to properly verify the server identity during the renegotiation following session resumption, making it possible for malicious TLS/SSL servers to perform a Triple Handshake attack against clients using JSSE and client certificate authentication.

The java-1.7.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 7 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 7 Java Software Development Kit. Multiple flaws were discovered in the Libraries, 2D, and Hotspot components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions. It was discovered that the StAX XML parser in the JAXP component in OpenJDK performed expansion of external parameter entities even when external entity substitution was disabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform XML eXternal Entity attack against applications using the StAX parser to parse untrusted XML documents.
