CVE-2010-4447
Description
Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in Oracle Java SE and Java for Business 6 Update 23 and earlier, 5.0 Update 27 and earlier, and 1.4.2_29 and earlier allows remote untrusted Java Web Start applications and untrusted Java applets to affect confidentiality via unknown vectors related to Deployment, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-4475.
AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
An unspecified vulnerability in the Java Deployment component allows remote untrusted applets and Web Start applications to disclose confidential information.
Vulnerability
CVE-2010-4447 is an unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Deployment component affecting Oracle Java SE and Java for Business versions 6 Update 23 and earlier, 5.0 Update 27 and earlier, and 1.4.2_29 and earlier [1][2][3]. The exact nature of the flaw is not disclosed, but it resides in the Deployment subsystem that handles Java Web Start applications and applets.
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by delivering a malicious untrusted Java Web Start application or untrusted Java applet to a target user. No authentication is required, and the attack vector is remote. The user must execute the malicious Java code, typically by visiting a compromised website or opening a crafted file. The exploitation does not require any special privileges beyond the ability to run Java content.
Impact
Successful exploitation leads to unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. The attacker can read sensitive data accessible to the Java process, potentially including files, network resources, or other data within the security sandbox. The impact is limited to confidentiality; integrity and availability are not directly affected.
Mitigation
Oracle addressed this vulnerability in Java SE 6 Update 24, Java SE 5.0 Update 28, and Java SE 1.4.2_30, released in February 2011. HP released security bulletins for HP-UX (HPSBUX02777) and HP Network Node Manager i (HPSBMU02799, HPSBMU02797) that include patches for affected JDK versions [1][2][3]. Users should apply the latest Java updates from Oracle or their vendor. No workaround is available if the patch cannot be applied.
- '[security bulletin] HPSBMU02799 SSRT100867 rev.1 - HP Network Node Manager i (NNMi) v9.0x Running JD'
- '[security bulletin] HPSBMU02797 SSRT100867 rev.1 - HP Network Node Manager i (NNMi) v9.1x Running JD'
- '[security bulletin] HPSBUX02777 SSRT100854 rev.1 - HP-UX Running Java JRE and JDK, Remote Denial'
