SUN » JRE » 1.6.0 update_1 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2007

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in SDK and JRE 1.3.x through 1.3.1_20 and 1.4.x through 1.4.2_15, and JDK and JRE 5.x through 5.0 Update 12 and 6.x through 6 Update 2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs, or read or modify arbitrary files, via applets that grant privileges to themselves.

Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 and earlier, JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 12 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.2_15 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.3.1_20 and earlier, when Firefox or Opera is used, allows remote attackers to violate the security model for JavaScript outbound connections via a multi-pin DNS rebinding attack dependent on the LiveConnect API, in which JavaScript download relies on DNS resolution by the browser, but JavaScript socket operations rely on separate DNS resolution by a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), a different issue than CVE-2007-5273. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2007-5232.

Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 and earlier, JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 12 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.2_15 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.3.1_20 and earlier, when an HTTP proxy server is used, allows remote attackers to violate the security model for an applet's outbound connections via a multi-pin DNS rebinding attack in which the applet download relies on DNS resolution on the proxy server, but the applet's socket operations rely on DNS resolution on the local machine, a different issue than CVE-2007-5274. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2007-5232.

Visual truncation vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment in Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 and earlier, JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 12 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.2_15 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.3.1_20 and earlier allows remote attackers to circumvent display of the untrusted-code warning banner by creating a window larger than the workstation screen.

Java Web Start in Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 and earlier, JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 12 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.2_15 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.3.1_20 and earlier does not properly enforce access restrictions for untrusted (1) applications and (2) applets, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to copy or rename arbitrary files when local users perform drag-and-drop operations from the untrusted application or applet window onto certain types of desktop applications.

Java Web Start in Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 and earlier, JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 12 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_15 and earlier does not properly enforce access restrictions for untrusted applications, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (the Java Web Start cache location) via an untrusted application, aka "three vulnerabilities."

Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 and earlier, JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 12 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.2_15 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.3.1_20 and earlier, when applet caching is enabled, allows remote attackers to violate the security model for an applet's outbound connections via a DNS rebinding attack.

The Java XML Digital Signature implementation in Sun JDK and JRE 6 before Update 2 does not properly process XSLT stylesheets in XSLT transforms in XML signatures, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted stylesheet, a related issue to CVE-2007-3715.

The Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) in Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 1 and earlier, JDK and JRE 5.0 Updates 7 through 11, and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_11 through 1.4.2_14, when using JSSE for SSL/TLS support, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via certain SSL/TLS handshake requests.

Stack-based buffer overflow in javaws.exe in Sun Java Web Start in JRE 5.0 Update 11 and earlier, and 6.0 Update 1 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long codebase attribute in a JNLP file.
