Detail
| Product: Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) "Java Update" mechanism does not check the digital signature of the JRE that it downloads. This may allow a malicious file to be downloaded and installed if the DNS information that the JRE uses when checking for updates is compromised. Sun acknowledges with thanks, Francisco Amato for bringing this issue to our attention. State: Resolved First released: 03-Dec-2008 |

| Title: | Sun Java Runtime Environment Java Update Fails to Validate Digital Signatures | ||
| Description: | The "Java Update" feature for Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 10 and earlier; JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 16 and earlier; and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_18 and earlier does not verify the signature of the JRE that is downloaded, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via DNS man-in-the-middle attacks. | ||
