It was discovered that the 2D component did not properly verify certain image channels. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 6 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted applet that bypasses SecurityManager restrictions by (1) using com.sun.beans.finder.ClassFinder.findClass and leveraging an exception with the forName method to access restricted classes from arbitrary packages such as sun.awt.SunToolkit, then (2) using "reflection with a trusted immediate caller" to leverage the getField method to access and modify private fields, as exploited in the wild in August 2012 using Gondzz.class and Gondvv.class.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 update 4 and earlier, 6 update 32 and earlier, 5 update 35 and earlier, and 1.4.237 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Hotspot.

An access control vulnerability exists in the Applet Rhino Script Engine component of Oracle's Java Runtime Environment allows an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.
