It was discovered that key store implementations in the Security component of OpenJDK did not use sufficient number of iterations when generating password-based encryption keys used to protect private keys in key stores. This made it easier to perform password guessing attacks to decrypt stored keys if an attacker could gain access to a key store.

An unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE related to the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit Networking component could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service resulting in a low availability impact using unknown attack vectors.

It was found that the HttpURLConnection and HttpsURLConnection classes implementations in the Networking component of OpenJDK failed to check for newline characters embedded in URLs. An attacker able to make a Java application to perform an HTTP request to an attacker provided URL could possibly inject additional headers into the request.

It was discovered that the implementation of multiple classes in the Serialization component of OpenJDK did not limit the amount of memory allocated when creating object instances from a serialized form. A specially-crafted input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of memory when deserialized.

It was discovered that the implementation of the JAXWSExceptionBase class in the JAX-WS component of OpenJDK did not limit the amount of memory allocated when creating object instance from a serialized form. A specially-crafted input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of memory when deserialized.

It was discovered that the implementation of the SimpleTimeZone class in the Serialization component of OpenJDK did not limit the amount of memory allocated when creating object instance from a serialized form. A specially-crafted input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of memory when deserialized.

It was discovered that implementations of multiple classes in the Libraries component of OpenJDK did not limit the amount of memory allocated when creating object instances from a serialized form. A specially-crafted input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of memory when deserialized.

It was discovered that the implementation of the ObjectInputStream class in the Serialization component of OpenJDK did not limit the amount of memory allocated when creating object instances from a serialized form. A specially-crafted input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of memory when deserialized.

It was discovered that the CardImpl class in the Smart Card IO component of OpenJDK failed to properly update its state in the finalize() method. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to gain unexpected access to a smart card, bypassing certain Java sandbox restrictions.
