Description Tomas Hoger 2013-02-03 19:05:09 UTC 
A flaw was found in the Java refection API in the handling of access privileges of proxy classes.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

  [Issue 29]
  This issue allows for the creation of arbitrary Proxy objects
  for interfaces defined in restricted packages. Proxy objects
  defined in a NULL class loader namespaces are of a particular
  interest here. Such objects can be used to manipulate instances
  of certain restricted classes.
  
  In our Proof of Concept code we create such a proxy object for
  the com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.model.nav.Navigator interface.
  In order to use the aforementioned proxy object, we need an
  instance of that interface too. We obtain it with the help of
  Issue 28, which allows to access arbitrary field objects from
  restricted classes and interfaces. As a result, by combining
  Issue 27-29, one can use Navigator interface and make use of
  its sensitive Reflection API functionality such as obtaining
  access to methods of arbitrary classes. That condition can be
  further leveraged to obtain a complete JVM security bypass.
  
  Please, note that our Proof of Concept code for Issues 27-29
  was reported to Oracle in Apr 2012 and depending Issues 27-28
  were addressed by the company sooner than Issue 29. Testing
  of the PoC will thus give best results on older versions of
  Java SE 7.
