Descriptions
Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 7u101 and 8u92 and Java SE Embedded 8u91 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via vectors related to Hotspot.
Vulnerabilidad no especificada en Oracle Java SE 7u101 y 8u92 y Java SE Embedded 8u91 permite a atacantes remotos afectar la confidencialidad, la integridad y disponibilidad a través de vectores relacionados con Hotspot.
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 way the runtime evaluates uninitialized objects that are not compiler generated. Due to unsafe handling of privileged classes within the uninitialized objects, it is possible for untrusted code to gain access to privileged methods and properties. This can result in remote code execution under the context of the current process.
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.
