Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as very critical was found in Oracle Java SE, JRockit and Java SE Embedded 5.0u61/6u71/7u51/8 (Programming Language Software). Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown part of the component 2D. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cross site scripting vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-80. The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 5.0u61, 6u71, 7u51, and 8; JRockit R27.8.1 and R28.3.1; and Java SE Embedded 7u51 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to 2D.

The weakness was published 04/15/2014 with Oracle as Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - April 2014 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at oracle.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2014-0429 since 12/12/2013. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication.
