Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 6u115, 7u101, and 8u92; Java SE Embedded 8u91; and JRockit R28.3.10 allows remote attackers to affect availability via vectors related to JAXP, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-3508.

Vulnerabilidad no especificada en Oracle Java SE 6u115, 7u101 y 8u92; Java SE Embedded 8u91 y JRockit R28.3.10 permite a atacantes remotos afectar la disponibilidad a través de vectores relacionados con JAXP, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-3508.

The java-1.6.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 6 Java Software Development Kit. Security Fix: An insufficient bytecode verification flaw was discovered in the Hotspot component in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to completely bypass Java sandbox restrictions. Multiple denial of service flaws were found in the JAXP component in OpenJDK. A specially crafted XML file could cause a Java application using JAXP to consume an excessive amount of CPU and memory when parsed.
