Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-10-14 13:43:13 UTC

Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security.

Comment 17 Mauro Matteo Cascella 2024-10-21 16:04:01 UTC

Relevant excerpt from release notes:

-> MessageFormat ArgumentIndex Now Has a Limit (JDK-8331446 (not public))
In the JDK, java.text.MessageFormat now has an implementation limit for the ArgumentIndex pattern element. The hard limit for the value is 10,000.

If an ArgumentIndex value is equal to or exceeds the upper limit, an IllegalArgumentException will now be thrown by

MessageFormats constructors
applyPattern(String pattern) instance method
format(String pattern, Object... arguments) static method
De-serializing a MessageFormat object with an ArgumentIndex value at or over the limit will throw an InvalidObjectException.
