IBM Java 7 R1 before SR3, 7 before SR9, 6 R1 before SR8 FP4, 6 before SR16 FP4, and 5.0 before SR16 FP10 allows remote attackers to bypass "permission checks" and obtain sensitive information via vectors related to the Java Virtual Machine.
Unspecified vulnerability in IBM Java 8 before SR1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors related to SSL/TLS and the Secure Socket Extension provider.
A vulnerability was found in the Java Certificate Management System (CMS) keystore provider that could potentially allow an attacker to recover the private key from CMS keystores via a brute-force attack.

IBM JDK updates 5.0 SR16-FP8, 6 SR16-FP2, 6R1 SR8-FP2, 7 SR8, and 7R1 SR2 fix a security issue described in the IBM security bulletin as:
IBM Java SDK contains a vulnerability in which the default configuration for the shared classes feature potentially allows arbitrary code to be injected into the shared classes cache, which may subsequently be executed by other local users.
This issue may possibly allow local users to run arbitrary code with the privileges of other users that use IBM JDK.

The class file parser in IBM Java before 1.4.2 SR13 FP9, as used in IBM Runtimes for Java Technology 5.0.0 before SR13 and 6.0.0 before SR10, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (JVM segmentation fault, and possibly memory consumption or an infinite loop) via a crafted attribute length field in a class file, which triggers a buffer over-read.
The class file parser in IBM Java 1.4.2 SR13 FP9 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or an infinite loop) via a crafted attribute length field in a class file, related to validation of a length field at the wrong time, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0311.
