Five new flaws found in the latest version of Java |
March 05, 2013
A week after disclosing two Java vulnerabilities, a Polish security firm reported finding five more in the latest version of Java. When used together, the new holes could bypass the technology's sandbox in order to install malware.
Security Explorations notified Oracle Monday of the vulnerabilities in Java SE 7 Update 15. Along with details of the flaws, Security Explorations also supplied proof of concept code.
Oracle did not respond to a request for comment.
