Vulnerable Systems:
* Sun Microsystems Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious website.
The specific flaw exists within the deserialization of RMIConnectionImpl objects. Due to a lack of privilege checks during deserialization it is possible to supply privileged code in the ClassLoader of a constructor being deserialized. This allows for a remote attacker to call system level Java functions without proper sandboxing. Exploitation of this can lead to remote system compromise under the context of the currently logged in user.
