Sun Java JDK and JRE Code Execution and Security Bypass Vulnerabilities

Multiple vulnerabilitieshave been identified in Sun Java JDK, JRE and SDK, which could be exploited by remote attackers to bypass security restrictions, gain knowledge of sensitive information, cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system. These issues are caused by memory corruptions, buffer overflows, input validation and implementation errors within the ImageIO, Java 2D, JRE, Java Web Start, Java Plug-in, Pack200, Sound, JSSE, and HotSpot Server components, which could allow attackers to gain knowledge of or manipulate certain information, crash an affected application or execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.
