Description
This security bulletin contains information about 20 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1376)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges.The weakness exists due to a flaw in the IBM J9 VM class verifier. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted untrusted code to disable the security manager and escalate his privileges on the system.
2) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1541)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.The weakness exists due to a flaw in the AIX JRE/SDK installp and updatep packages. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted packages and prevent the java.security, java.policy and javaws.policy files from being updated correctly.
3) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-10053)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists due to unknown error. A remote attacker can cause the application to crash.
4) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-10067)
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges.The weakness exists due to unknown error. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and gain privileged access to the system.
5) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-10078)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.The weakness exists due to unknown error. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, bypass security restrictions and disclose and modify important data on the system.
