CVE-2012-0507
CVE-2012-0507
In short
A flaw in Java's concurrent programming tools (AtomicReferenceArray) allows attackers to crash the Java application or escape the security sandbox, compromising the system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Technical detail
The AtomicReferenceArray class in Java SE 7 Update 2 and earlier fails to validate array type, permitting remote attackers to trigger JVM crashes or bypass Java sandbox restrictions through specially crafted concurrent operations; exploitation requires network access to execute Java code (applets or JNLP).
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 2 and earlier, 6 Update 30 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 33 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Concurrency. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the February 2012 Oracle CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a downstream vendor and third party researchers that this issue occurs because the AtomicReferenceArray class implementation does not ensure that the array is of the Object[] type, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (JVM crash) or bypass Java sandbox restrictions. NOTE: this issue was originally mapped to CVE-2011-3571, but that identifier was already assigned to a different issue.
