The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier, and OpenJDK 6 and 7, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving reflection, Libraries, "improper toString calls," and the JDBC driver manager, as demonstrated by James Forshaw during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2013.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Java remote code execution issue affecting Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier and OpenJDK 6 and 7. A remote attacker could execute code through Java Runtime Environment behavior. The public record ties it to a Pwn2Own demonstration, but the supplied sources do not show confirmed active exploitation in the wild. Exposure is most likely on legacy endpoints, servers, or packaged applications still running affected Java 7 or OpenJDK 6/7 builds. Internet-facing browser-plugin use would raise urgency. Modern systems should mainly treat this as a legacy software and asset-discovery problem. Treat this as high priority only where legacy Java is still present. The vulnerability is old, but remote code execution in unsupported Java can create avoidable compromise paths. The main business task is finding and retiring or patching obsolete Java deployments. Mitigation focus: Inventory Java runtimes and remove unsupported Java installations where not required.; Upgrade affected Oracle Java, OpenJDK, or IcedTea packages using vendor advisories.; Disable legacy Java browser-plugin exposure where business use is not required..
