Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the JRE component in IBM Java 7 SR2 and earlier, Java 6.0.1 SR3 and earlier, Java 6 SR11 and earlier, Java 5 SR14 and earlier, and Java 142 SR13 FP13 and earlier; as used in IBM Rational Host On-Demand, Rational Change, Tivoli Monitoring, Smart Analytics System 5600, Tivoli Remote Control 5.1.2, WebSphere Real Time, Lotus Notes & Domino, Tivoli Storage Productivity Center, and Service Deliver Manager; and other products from other vendors such as Red Hat, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via "insecure use" of the (1) java.lang.Class getDeclaredMethods or nd (2) java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject setAccessible() methods.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-4821 covers multiple IBM Java runtime flaws that could let a remote attacker run code through unsafe reflection behavior. The affected Java versions are very old, but legacy IBM and Red Hat-hosted environments may still carry embedded vulnerable runtimes. Exposure is most likely in legacy enterprise systems running bundled IBM Java runtimes, including Rational, Tivoli, WebSphere Real Time, Lotus Notes/Domino, Tivoli Storage Productivity Center, Service Delivery Manager, and Red Hat-distributed IBM Java packages. Treat this as a legacy-platform remediation issue with high impact if exposed. Prioritize internet-facing or user-supplied-content Java workloads, then bundled IBM products that may have escaped standard OS patching. Mitigation focus: Inventory IBM Java runtimes and bundled IBM products listed in the CVE.; Check IBM and Red Hat advisories for product-specific fixed service refreshes or packages.; Upgrade or replace affected Java versions per vendor guidance..
