CVE-2010-3569

Publication date 19 October 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment component in Oracle Java SE and Java for Business 6 Update 21, 5.0 Update 25, and 1.4.2_27 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the October 2010 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable downstream vendor that this allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by causing the defaultReadObject method in the Serialization API to set a volatile field multiple times.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that the defaultReadObject of the Serialization API could be tricked into setting a volatile field multiple times. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running a java applet or application.
