This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle Java. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within java.lang.Thread’s setUncaughtExceptionHandler method allowing for a callback to be run with using the JDK’s access control context. This allows a malicious applet to execute attacker supplied code resulting in remote code execution under the context of the process.
