| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) versions prior to 6 Update 23
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to affect availability via unknown vectors related to JAXP and unspecified APIs. It is also claimed by a downstream vendor to be related to "Features set on SchemaFactory not inherited by Validator," although Oracle has not commented on this.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 6 Update 23, update to a version that is not affected by this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to JAXP and unspecified APIs until a patch is available. Avoid using the
SchemaFactory and Validator classes in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.Exploit
