The issue allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE and Java SE Embedded, resulting in a partial denial of service. This issue is difficult to exploit and applies to Java deployments that load and run untrusted code, relying on the Java sandbox for security. It can also be exploited through APIs in the specified component, such as through a web service supplying data to the APIs.
