CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Lifecycle Timeline
5Description
Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 21 and earlier, 6 Update 45 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 45 and earlier, and OpenJDK 7, allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to 2D. NOTE: the previous information is from the June 2013 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from another vendor that this issue allows remote attackers to bypass the Java sandbox via vectors related to "Incorrect image channel verification" in 2D.
Analysis
Oracle Java SE 7, 6, and 5 contain an unspecified vulnerability in the 2D graphics component that allows untrusted applets to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code, exploited by every major exploit kit in 2013.
Technical Context
The CWE-693 protection mechanism failure in Java's 2D rendering component allows a crafted applet to bypass the SecurityManager sandbox. While Oracle's advisory provides limited technical detail, the flaw involves improper access control checks in the graphics rendering pipeline.
Affected Products
['Oracle Java SE 7 Update 21 and earlier', 'Oracle Java SE 6 Update 45 and earlier', 'Oracle Java SE 5.0 Update 45 and earlier', 'OpenJDK 7']
Remediation
Remove Java browser plugins. Update Java if required for applications. Modern browsers have removed NPAPI/Java applet support entirely.
