CVE-2010-0840 Detail

Description

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment component in Oracle Java SE and Java for Business 6 Update 18, 5.0 Update 23, and 1.4.2_25 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the March 2010 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable researcher that this is related to improper checks when executing privileged methods in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) an untrusted object that extends the trusted class but has not modified a certain method, or (2) "a similar trust issue with interfaces," aka "Trusted Methods Chaining Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."


Evaluator Description

Per: http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/javacpumar2010.html 'Affected product releases and versions: • Java SE: • JDK and JRE 6 Update 18 and earlier for Windows, Solaris, and Linux • JDK 5.0 Update 23 and earlier for Solaris • SDK 1.4.2_25 and earlier for Solaris • Java for Business: • JDK and JRE 6 Update 18 and earlier for Windows, Solaris and Linux • JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 23 and earlier for Windows, Solaris and Linux • SDK and JRE 1.4.2_25 and earlier for Windows, Solaris and Linux'
