Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 5.0u71, 6u81, 7u67, and 8u20 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality via unknown vectors related to 2D.

Vulnerabilidad sin especificar en Oracle Java SE 5.0u71, 6u81, 7u67, y 8u20 permite a atacantes remotos afectar la confidencialidad a través de vectores desconocidos relacionados con el 2D.

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.
