Summary

The flaw is an unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component of Oracle Java SE 7 Update 21 and earlier, and of OpenJDK 7, related to the Serviceability component. An attacker who can reach the affected JRE remotely, through unknown vectors, may be able to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and a separate unconfirmed claim from another vendor describes a sandbox bypass via insufficient access checks in the tracing component, which Oracle has not addressed.

Official description · CVE.org
