TYPE: Application Platforms

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in IBM Java, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information, manipulate certain data, bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), and compromise a vulnerable system.

  1. Unspecified errors can be exploited to execute arbitrary code, and bypass certain security restrictions.
  2. An error when expanding entity references can be exploited to consume large amounts of memory and cause a crash or hang via a specially crafted XML containing malicious attributes.
