Abstract
In SmartCloud Provisioning, when AWT code is run, a vulnerability of the JVM
can be exploited.
VULNERABILITY DETAILS:
DESCRIPTION:
CVE-2013-1500
Some native internal implementation code in the AWT component creates a shared
memory segment with world read/write permissions. This allows potentially
sensitive data to be accessed and modified by a local user.
This issue is only exploitable by a local user with direct access to the
environment on which the JRE is running. The only solution is to upgrade the
JRE.
