CVE-2016-5573
First published: Mon Oct 17 2016(Updated: )
It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK did not properly check Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) packets, which could possibly allow HTTP requests issues by a web browser to be interpreted as valid JDWP messages. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to send debugging commands to a Java program or applet running with debugging enabled if they could make victim's browser send HTTP requests to the JDWP port of the debugged application.
