Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in Java Runtime Environment (JRE). A remote user can execute arbitrary code on the target system. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions. VMware VirtualCenter is affected.
A remote user can create a specially crafted Java applet or Java Web Start application that, when loaded by the target user, will access or modify data on the target user's system or execute arbitrary code on the target user's system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
A remote user can also cause denial of service conditions.
The following researchers reported these and other Oracle vulnerabilities:
Adam Barth; axtaxt via Tipping Point's Zero Day Initiative; Eric Rescorla; Juliano Rizzo; Michael Schierl via Tipping Point; Neal Poole; Roee Hay of IBM Rational Application Security Research Group; Sami Koivu via Tipping Point's Zero Day Initiative; Thai Duong; and Yair Amit of IBM Rational Application Security Research Group.
