So true ASB....

Hello All,



We had yet another look into Oracle's Java SE 7 software that was released by 
the company on Feb 19, 2013. As a result, we have discovered two new security 
issues (numbered 54 and 55), which when combined together can be successfully 
used to gain a complete Java security sandbox bypass in the environment of Java 
SE 7 Update 15 (1.7.0_15-b03).



Following our Disclosure Policy [1], we provided Oracle with a brief technical 
description of the issues found along with a working Proof of Concept code that 
illustrates their impact.



Both new issues are specific to Java SE 7 only. They allow to abuse the 
Reflection API in a particularly interesting way.



Without going into further details, everything indicates that a ball is in 
Oracle's court. Again.



Thank you.



Best Regards

Adam Gowdiak

Have no fear: at the rate that Java exploits and vulnerabilities are being 
found in Java, they'll be providing more updates shortly.  Maybe they'll fix 
that problem, or maybe more people will get the impetus to work around them.
