Oracle Virtualization Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) code execution

virtualization-vdi-code-execution (72513) The risk level is classified as HighHigh Risk

Description:

Oracle Virtualization Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error in the AtomicReferenceArray class implementation. By persuading a victim to visit a malicious Web site, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass Java sandbox restrictions and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges or cause Java Virtual Machine to crash.

Note: CVE-2011-3571 has been replaced by CVE-2012-0507

NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the February 2012 Oracle CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a downstream vendor and third party researchers that this issue occurs because the AtomicReferenceArray class implementation does not ensure that the array is of the Object[] type, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (JVM crash) or bypass Java sandbox restrictions. NOTE: this issue was originally mapped to CVE-2011-3571, but that identifier was already assigned to a
