Secunia Security Advisory - Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Oracle Java SE, which can be exploited by malicious users to disclose certain information and by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information, hijack a user's session, conduct DNS cache poisoning attacks, manipulate certain data, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), and compromise a vulnerable system.

DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Oracle Java SE, which
can be exploited by malicious users to disclose certain information
and by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information, hijack a user's session, conduct DNS cache poisoning
attacks, manipulate certain data, cause a DoS (Denial of Service),
and compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A design error in the Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSL) and Transport
Layer Security 1.0 (TLS) protocols can be exploited to disclose
potentially sensitive information via e.g. a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM)
attack.
2) An error in the Deployment component may allow execution of
arbitrary code in a client deployment via e.g untrusted applets.
This vulnerability affects Windows based platforms only.
3) An error in the Deserialization component may allow execution of
arbitrary code in a client deployment via e.g. untrusted applets.
4) An error in the Scripting component may allow execution of
arbitrary code in a client deployment via e.g. untrusted applets.
5) An error in the Sound component may allow execution of arbitrary
code in a client and server deployment via e.g untrusted applets or
data sent to APIs through a web service.
6) An error in the Deployment component can be exploited to disclose
and manipulate certain data in a client deployment via e.g. untrusted
applets.
7) An error in the Networking component can be exploited to disclose
certain data in a client deployment via e.g. untrusted applets.
8) An error in the AWT component may allow execution of arbitrary
code in a client deployment via e.g. untrusted applets.
9) An error in the Swing component may allow execution of arbitrary
code in a client deployment via e.g. untrusted applets.
10) An error in the AWT component may allow execution of arbitrary
code in a client deployment via e.g. untrusted applets.
11) An error in the 2D component may allow execution of arbitrary
code in a client and server deployment via e.g untrusted applets or
data sent to APIs through a web service.
12) The java.net.Socket API does not properly limit the number of
concurrent UDP sockets, which can be exploited to conduct DNS cache
poisoning attacks by exhausting available sockets by e.g. tricking a
user into visiting a website containing malicious applets.
This may be related to vulnerability #19 in:
SA43262
13) An error in the JAXWS component can be exploited to disclose
certain data in a server deployment via e.g. data sent to APIs
through a web service.
14) An error in the Java Runtime Environment component may allow
execution of arbitrary code in a client deployment via e.g. untrusted
applets.
15) An error in the Java Runtime Environment component can be
exploited to manipulate certain data and cause a DoS in a client
deployment via e.g. untrusted applets.
16) An error in the RMI component can be exploited to disclose and
manipulate certain data and to cause a DoS in a RMI server
deployment.
17) An error in the RMI component can be exploited to disclose and
manipulate certain data and to cause a DoS in a RMI server
deployment.
18) An error in the HotSpot component can be exploited to disclose
certain data in a client deployment via e.g. untrusted applets.
19) An error in the JSSE component can be exploited to disclose and
manipulate certain data in a client deployment via e.g. untrusted
applets.
20) An error in the Deployment component can be exploited to disclose
certain data in a client deployment via e.g. untrusted applets.
SOLUTION:
Apply updates (please see the vendor's advisory for details).

It is currently unclear who reported the remaining vulnerabilities as
the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update for October 2011 only
provides a bundled list of credits. This section will be updated
when/if the original reporter provides more information.
