It was discovered that the CORBA component of OpenJDK did not
sufficiently restrict the use of custom ValueHandler when performing
object deserialization. An untrusted Java application or applet could
use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the JAXP component of OpenJDK did not enforce
the maximum XML name limit (jdk.xml.MaxXMLNameLimit) when parsing
namespace URIs in XML files. A specially crafted XML document could
cause a Java application using JAXP to consume an excessive amount of
memory and CPU time when parsed.
It was discovered that the JAXP component of OpenJDK did not place a
limit on the number of entity replacements performed when parsing XML
files. A specially crafted XML document could cause a Java application
using JAXP to consume an excessive amount of memory and CPU time when
parsed.
Updates correcting this issue address the problem by introducing a
limit on the number of entity replacements that can be performed. The
limit can be controlled using the jdk.xml.entityReplacementLimit system
property.
Integer overflow flaws were found in the way the Hotspot component of
OpenJDK read bytecode from class files. An untrusted Java application
or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox
restrictions.
A flaw was found in the way the dropArguments() method of the
MethodHandles class in the Libraries component of OpenJDK handled its
valueTypes argument. As it did not create a copy of the list, caller
could modify it after it was checked by the dropArguments() method. An
untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java
sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the bytecode verifier in the Hotspot component
of OpenJDK did not properly verify correctness of the bytecode in the
loaded class files. An untrusted Java application or applet could use
this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the filterReturnValue() method of the
MethodHandles in the Libraries component of OpenJDK did not properly
check filter MethodHandle parameter count. An untrusted Java
application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox
restrictions.
