Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Oracle Java up to 7 Update 17 (Programming Language Software) and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown functionality of the file sun.awt.datatransfer.ClassLoaderObjectInputStream of the component Java Runtime Environment. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier, 6 Update 43 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 41 and earlier; and OpenJDK 6 and 7; allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to AWT, as demonstrated by Ben Murphy during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2013. NOTE: the previous information is from the April 2013 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from another vendor that this issue is related to invocation of the system class loader by the sun.awt.datatransfer.ClassLoaderObjectInputStream class, which allows remote attackers to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

The weakness was presented 03/07/2013 by Ben Murphy with Zero Day Initiative as not defined tweet (Twitter). The advisory is shared for download at twitter.com. The public release happened without coordination with the vendor. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2013-0401 since 12/07/2012. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details as well as a private exploit are known. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1059.
