CVE-2013-0431

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Java Runtime Environment versions prior to Update 11 OpenJDK 7

Description The issue allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Java security sandbox via unspecified vectors related to JMX. It is also related to the failure to neutralize script-related HTML tags on web pages, which can allow a remote attacker to impact the integrity of protected information.

Recommendations For Java Runtime Environment versions prior to Update 11, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue. For OpenJDK 7, consider disabling JMX functionality until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the execution of script-related HTML tags in web pages to minimize the risk of exploitation.
