The com.ibm.rmi.io.SunSerializableFactory class in IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition 6 before SR16 FP25 (6.0.16.25), 6 R1 before SR8 FP25 (6.1.8.25), 7 before SR9 FP40 (7.0.9.40), 7 R1 before SR3 FP40 (7.1.3.40), and 8 before SR3 (8.0.3.0) does not properly deserialize classes in an AccessController doPrivileged block, which allows remote attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism and execute arbitrary code as demonstrated by the readValue method of the com.ibm.rmi.io.ValueHandlerPool.ValueHandlerSingleton class, which implements the javax.rmi.CORBA.ValueHandler interface. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-5456.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-0376 is an IBM Java sandbox bypass that can let a remote attacker execute arbitrary code in affected IBM SDK Java versions. The issue comes from an incomplete earlier fix and affects legacy Java 6, 7, and early 8 IBM runtimes. Exposure is most relevant where untrusted Java content or RMI/CORBA deserialization paths remain reachable. Organizations may be exposed through legacy IBM Java runtimes bundled with IBM middleware, enterprise applications, AIX/Linux packages, or old Java client/server components. The bundle does not identify all affected downstream products, so runtime inventory matters more than product-name assumptions. Prioritize remediation where IBM Java is internet-facing, processes untrusted input, or supports critical middleware. This is old, but legacy Java often persists inside enterprise platforms. Absence from KEV lowers evidence of active exploitation, not the potential impact. Mitigation focus: Upgrade IBM SDK Java to the fixed service refresh or fix pack level.; Apply relevant vendor packages from IBM, Red Hat, or SUSE advisories.; Inventory embedded IBM Java runtimes inside middleware and packaged applications..
