Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 15 (Programming Language Software). This affects an unknown part of the component Reflection API. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a remote code execution vulnerability. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The issue has been introduced in 02/19/2013. The weakness was disclosed 02/25/2013 by Adam Gowdiak with Security Explorations as SE-2012-01 / Issue 55 as not defined mailinglist post (Bugtraq). The advisory is shared at seclists.org. The public release happened without involvement of Oracle. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a private exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 11/19/2018). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product decreasing in the near future.

A private exploit has been developed by Adam Gowdiak. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 6 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k.

The problem might be mitigated by replacing the product with Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash or Javascript as an alternative.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at OSVDB (90608†). Further details are available at seclists.org. The entry VDB-7856 is pretty similar. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
