Descriptions

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

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

It was discovered that the CipherInputStream class implementation in OpenJDK did not properly handle certain exceptions. This could possibly allow an attacker to affect the integrity of an encrypted stream handled by this class.

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.
