Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 7 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality and integrity, related to JAX-WS.

The remote VMware ESX / ESXi host is missing a security-related patch.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including remote code execution vulnerabilities, in several components and third-party libraries :

  - Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
  - Network File Copy (NFC) Protocol
  - OpenSSL

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-32 (IcedTea JDK: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the IcedTea JDK. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, obtain       sensitive information, bypass intended security policies, or have other       unspecified impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java SE or Java for Business installed on the remote host is earlier than 7 Update 9 / 6 Update 37 / 5.0 Update 38 / 1.4.2_40 and is, therefore, potentially affected by security issues in the following components :

  - 2D
  - Beans
  - Concurrency
  - Deployment
  - Hotspot
  - JAX-WS
  - JMX
  - JSSE
  - Libraries
  - Networking
  - Security
  - Swing
