Impact CR 6804996: A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment with processing PNG images may allow an untrusted Java Web Start application to escalate privileges. For example, an untrusted application may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted application. CR 6804997: A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment with processing GIF images may allow an untrusted Java Web Start application to escalate privileges. For example, an untrusted application may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted application. CR 6804998: A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment with processing GIF images may allow an untrusted applet or Java Web Start application to escalate privileges. For example, an untrusted applet may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted applet. CR 6804999: A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment with processing fonts may allow an untrusted applet or Java Web Start application to escalate privileges.

Impact CR 6646860: A security vulnerability in the Java Plug-in with deserializing applets may allow an untrusted applet to escalate privileges. For example, an untrusted applet may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted applet. CR 6724331: The Java Plug-in allows Javascript code that is loaded from the localhost to connect to any port on the system. This may be leveraged together with XSS vulnerabilities in a blended attack to illegally access other applications listening on ports other than the one where the Javascript code was served from. CR 6706490: The Java Plug-in allows a trusted applet to be launched on an earlier version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) provided the user that downloaded the applet allows it to run on the requested release. A vulnerability allows Javascript code that is present in the same web page as the applet to exploit known vulnerabilities of the requested JRE. CR 6798948: A security vulnerability in the Java Plug-in with parsing crossdomain.xml files may allow an untrusted applet to connect to any site that provides a crossdomain.xml file instead of sites that allow the domain that the applet is running on. CR 6782871: A security vulnerability in the Java Plug-in may allow a signed applet to obscure the contents of the security dialog and thereby trick a user into trusting the applet.
