Descriptions

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Security). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u251, 8u241, 11.0.6 and 14; Java SE Embedded: 8u241. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Note: Applies to client and server deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications and sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as through a web service. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 3.7 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).

Vulnerabilidad en el producto Java SE, Java SE Embedded de Oracle Java SE (componente: Security). Las versiones compatibles que están afectadas son Java SE: 7u251, 8u241, 11.0.6 y 14; Java SE Embedded: 8u241. Una vulnerabilidad difícil de explotar permite a un atacante no autenticado con acceso a la red por medio de múltiples protocolos comprometer a Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Los ataques con éxito de esta vulnerabilidad pueden resultar en una capacidad no autorizada de causar una denegación de servicio parcial (DOS parcial) de Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Nota: Se aplica a la implementación de cliente y servidor de Java. Esta vulnerabilidad puede ser explotada por medio de aplicaciones Java Web Start dentro del sandbox y applets de Java dentro del sandbox. También puede ser explotada al proporcionar datos hacia las API en el Componente especificado sin usar aplicaciones de Java Web Start dentro del sandbox o applets de Java dentro del sandbox, tal y como por medio de un servicio web. CVSS 3.0 Puntuación Base 3.7 (Impactos de la disponibilidad). Vector CVSS: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).

It was discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly handled certain regular expressions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service while processing a specially crafted regular expression. It was discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly handled class descriptors and catching exceptions during object stream deserialization. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service while processing a specially crafted serialized input. Various other issues were also addressed.
