Descriptions
Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 6u121, 7u111, 8u102; and Java SE Embedded 8u101 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality via vectors related to Networking.
Vulnerabilidad no especificada en Oracle Java SE 6u121, 7u111, 8u102 y Java SE Embedded 8u101 permite a atacantes remotos afectar la confidencialidad a través de vectores relacionados con Networking.
A flaw was found in the way the Networking component of OpenJDK handled HTTP proxy authentication. A Java application could possibly expose HTTPS server authentication credentials via a plain text network connection to an HTTP proxy if proxy asked for authentication.
It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK did not properly check arguments of the System.arraycopy function in certain cases. An attacker could use this to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. It was discovered that OpenJDK did not restrict the set of algorithms used for Jar integrity verification. An attacker could use this to modify without detection the content of a JAR file, affecting system integrity. Various other issues were also addressed.
