The "Java Update" feature for Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 10 and earlier; JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 16 and earlier; and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_18 and earlier does not verify the signature of the JRE that is downloaded, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via DNS man-in-the-middle attacks.
Heap-based buffer overflow in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 10 and earlier; JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 16 and earlier; and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_18 and earlier might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted TrueType font file.
Sun Java Web Start and Java Plug-in for JDK and JRE 6 Update 10 and earlier; JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 16 and earlier; and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_18 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted jnlp file that modifies the (1) java.home, (2) java.ext.dirs, or (3) user.home System Properties, aka "Java Web Start File Inclusion" and CR 6694892.
Unspecified vulnerability in the Virtual Machine in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 7, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted (1) application or (2) applet, as demonstrated by an application or applet that grants itself privileges to (a) read local files, (b) write to local files, or (c) execute local programs.
Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 7, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information (the cache location) via an untrusted application, aka CR 6704074.
Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and JDK 6 Update 4 and earlier, 5.0 Update 14 and earlier, and SDK/JRE 1.4.2_16 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (JRE crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors related to XSLT transforms.
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.
Unspecified vulnerability in the font parsing implementation in Sun JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 9 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_14 and earlier, allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized actions via an applet that grants certain privileges to itself.
Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Applet Class Loader in Sun JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 11 and earlier, 6 through 6 Update 1, and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_14 and earlier, allows remote attackers to violate the security model for an applet's outbound connections by connecting to certain localhost services running on the machine that loaded the applet.
