Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 2 and earlier, 6 Update 30 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 33 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Concurrency. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the February 2012 Oracle CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a downstream vendor and third party researchers that this issue occurs because the AtomicReferenceArray class implementation does not ensure that the array is of the Object[] type, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (JVM crash) or bypass Java sandbox restrictions. NOTE: this issue was originally mapped to CVE-2011-3571, but that identifier was already assigned to a different issue.

Multiple buffer overflows in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 12 and earlier allow remote attackers to access files or execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted PNG image that triggers an integer overflow during memory allocation for display on the splash screen, aka CR 6804996; and (2) a crafted GIF image from which unspecified values are used in calculation of offsets, leading to object-pointer corruption, aka CR 6804997.
Buffer overflow in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 17 and earlier; 6 Update 12 and earlier; 1.4.219 and earlier; and 1.3.124 and earlier allows remote attackers to access files or execute arbitrary code via a crafted GIF image, aka CR 6804998.
Buffer overflow in unpack200 in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 17 and earlier, and 6 Update 12 and earlier, allows remote attackers to access files or execute arbitrary code via a JAR file with crafted Pack200 headers.
Unspecified vulnerability in the LDAP implementation in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 17 and earlier; 6 Update 12 and earlier; SDK and JRE 1.3.124 and earlier; and 1.4.219 and earlier allows remote LDAP servers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors related to serialized data.
Integer overflow in unpack200 in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 17 and earlier, and 6 Update 12 and earlier, allows remote attackers to access files or execute arbitrary code via a JAR file with crafted Pack200 headers.
Sun Java System Identity Manager (IdM) 7.0 through 8.0 on Linux, AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX permits "control characters" in the passwords of user accounts, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via vectors involving "resource adapters."
Sun Java System Identity Manager (IdM) 7.0 through 8.0 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges by submitting crafted commands to the Admin Console, as demonstrated by privileges for account creation and other administrative capabilities, related to the saveNoValidate action and saveNoValidateAllowedFormsAndWorkflows IDs.
Chris Evans discovered a flaw in how LittleCms checks certain upper-bounds sizes. This flaw could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution in applications that use the system LittleCms library, or embed the source into their application.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Embedded Lights Out Manager (ELOM) on the Sun Fire X2100 M2 and X2200 M2 x86 platforms before SP/BMC firmware 3.20 allows remote attackers to obtain privileged ELOM login access or execute arbitrary Service Processor (SP) commands via unknown vectors, aka Bug ID 6633175, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-5717.
Unspecified vulnerability in the Embedded Lights Out Manager (ELOM) on the Sun Fire X2100 M2 and X2200 M2 x86 platforms before SP/BMC firmware 3.20 allows remote attackers to obtain privileged ELOM login access or execute arbitrary Service Processor (SP) commands via unknown vectors, aka Bug ID 6648082, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-5717.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 and M5000 Server, within a certain range of serial numbers, allows remote attackers to use the manufacturing root password, perform a root login to the eXtended System Control Facility Unit (aka XSCFU or Service Processor), and have unspecified other impact.
Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 allows remote authenticated sub-realm administrators to gain privileges, as demonstrated by creating the amadmin account in the sub-realm, and then logging in as amadmin in the root realm.
Sun ScApp firmware 5.18.x, 5.19.x, and 5.20.0 through 5.20.10 on Sun Fire and Netra platforms allows remote attackers to access the System Controller (SC), the system console, and possibly the host OS, and cause a denial of service (shutdown or reboot), via spoofed IP packets.
Multiple buffer overflows in Sun Java Wireless Toolkit (WTK) for CLDC 2.5.2 and earlier allow downloaded programs to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
Aspppls for Solaris 8 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the .asppp.fifo temporary file.
The default installation of sadmind on Solaris uses weak authentication (AUTHSYS), which allows local and remote attackers to spoof Solstice AdminSuite clients and gain root privileges via a certain sequence of RPC packets.
The prescan function in Sendmail 8.12.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via buffer overflow attacks, as demonstrated using the parseaddr function in parseaddr.c.
Off-by-one error in the fbrealpath() function, as derived from the realpath function in BSD, may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated in wu-ftpd 2.5.0 through 2.6.2 via commands that cause pathnames of length MAXPATHLEN+1 to trigger a buffer overflow, including (1) STOR, (2) RETR, (3) APPE, (4) DELE, (5) MKD, (6) RMD, (7) STOU, or (8) RNTO.
Buffer overflow in the calltrans2open function in trans2.c for Samba 2.2.x before 2.2.8a, 2.0.10 and earlier 2.0.x versions, and Samba-TNG before 0.3.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Multiple buffer overflows in Samba before 2.2.8a may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service, as discovered by the Samba team and a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0201.
The prescan() function in the address parser (parseaddr.c) in Sendmail before 8.12.9 does not properly handle certain conversions from char and int types, which can cause a length check to be disabled when Sendmail misinterprets an input value as a special "NOCHAR" control value, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack using messages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1337.
