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). PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 12) Roee Hay and Yair Amit, IBM Rational Application Security Research Group 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.
