Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 6 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Beans, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-1682.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 6 and     earlier allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors     related to Beans, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-1682. (CVE-2012-3136)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Java-1_7_0-openjdk was updated to fix a remote exploit (CVE-2012-4681).

Also bugfixes were done :

  - fix build on ARM and i586

  - remove files that are no longer used

  - zero build can be enabled using rpmbuild (osc build)
    --with zero

  - add hotspot 2.1 needed for zero

  - fix filelist on %(ix86)

  - Security fixes

  - Bug fixes

  - PR1149: Zero-specific patch files not being packaged

  - use icedtea tarball for build again, this led into     following dropped files because the are already in the     tarball and simplified %prep and %build

  - drop class-rewriter.tar.gz

  - drop systemtap-tapset.tar.gz

  - drop desktop-files.tar.gz

  - drop nss.cfg

  - drop pulseaudio.tar.gz

  - drop rhino.patch, pulse-soundproperties and systemtap     patch

  - move gnome bridge patches before make as it's irritating     to have the patch fail after openjdk is built

  - use explicit file attributes in %files sections to     prevent the file permissions problems in a future (like     bnc#770040)

  - changed version scheme, so it now matches Oracle Java     1.7.0.6 == Java7 u 6

  - Add missing REF_TO_OBJs for references passed from JNI,     this enable JamVM to run Qt-Jambi

  - there are number of fixes in 2.3, see NEWS

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201401-30 (Oracle JRE/JDK: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in the Oracle Java       implementation. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for       details.
  Impact :

    An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities       to execute arbitrary code.
      Furthermore, a local or remote attacker could exploit these       vulnerabilities to cause unspecified impact, possibly including remote       execution of arbitrary code.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2012-1223 advisory.

    [1.7.0.5-2.2.1.0.1.el6_3.3]

    - Resolves: rhbz#852299

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java SE or Java for Business installed on the remote host is earlier than 7 Update 7 and is, therefore, potentially affected the following vulnerabilities :

  - The 'getField' method in the 'sun.awt.SunToolkit class'     provided by the bundled SunToolkit can be used to     obtain any field of a class - even private fields.
    This error can allow privilege escalation.
    (CVE-2012-0547)

  - Two unspecified remote code execution vulnerabilities     exist related to the     'com.sun.beans.finder.ConstructorFinder' and     'com.sun.beans.finder.FieldFinder' methods. No further     details have been provided. (CVE-2012-1682,     CVE-2012-3136)

  - The 'setField' method provided by the bundled SunToolkit     can be used to execute a privileged operation and calls     'setAccessible(true)' on the returned field reference,     allowing an attacker to disable any 'final' or 'private'     directives and gain full control to run code in the Java     virtual machine. (CVE-2012-4681)

Note that at least one of these vulnerabilities is currently being exploited in the wild.

The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.x installed on the remote host is earlier than Update 35. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered     in the Beans component in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java     application or applet could use these flaws to use     classes from restricted packages, allowing it to bypass     Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2012-4681, CVE-2012-1682,     CVE-2012-3136, CVE-2012-0547)

Please note this issue is not directly exploitable, rather it can aid in attacks against other, directly exploitable vulnerabilities, such as that found in CVE-2012-4681.

IBM Java 1.7.0 was updated to SR2 which fixes critical security issues.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:1289 advisory.

  - OpenJDK: java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup does not honor access modes (Libraries, 7165628)     (CVE-2012-1726)

  - OpenJDK: beans MethodElementHandler insufficient permission checks (beans, 7194567) (CVE-2012-3136)

  - OpenJDK: beans insufficient permission checks, Java 7 0day (beans, 7162473) (CVE-2012-4681)
