Oracle Java is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of an arbitrary attacker specified executable file, if this file is located in the same folder as a .class file. The attacker must entice a victim into opening a specially crafted .class file. This file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through remote WebDAV shares. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
The default Java security properties configuration does not restrict access to certain objects in the com.sun.jmx.mbeanserver packages. This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user.
The default Java security properties configuration did not restrict access to certain com.sun.org.glassfish packages. This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Oracle Java taking advantages of the java.sql.DriverManager class. The specific flaw exists within the usage of java.sql.DriverManager. The issue lies in an implicit call to toString() that is made within a doPrivileged block. This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user. This vulnerability was one of the 2013's Pwn2Own challenges.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Oracle Java plugin for Internet Explorer (jp2iexp.dll) while processing the docBase parameter of a Java applet. This module bypasses Data Execution Prevention (DEP), even on Internet Explorer 8 with Permanent DEP enabled.
