{"id":"CVE-2012-0507","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2012-0507","generatedAt":"2026-10-27T19:44:04.631Z","title":"Oracle Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability","description":"Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 2 and earlier, 6 Update 30 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 33 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Concurrency.  NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the February 2012 Oracle CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a downstream vendor and third party researchers that this issue occurs because the AtomicReferenceArray class implementation does not ensure that the array is of the Object[] type, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (JVM crash) or bypass Java sandbox restrictions.  NOTE: this issue was originally mapped to CVE-2011-3571, but that identifier was already assigned to a different issue.","published":"2012-06-07T22:55:18.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-14T05:16:52.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"secalert_us@oracle.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-843"],"affected":["sun/jre","oracle/jre","debian/debian linux","suse/linux enterprise desktop","suse/linux enterprise java","suse/linux enterprise server","suse/linux enterprise software development kit"],"epss":{"score":0.98189,"percentile":0.99914,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":true,"dateAdded":"2022-03-03","dueDate":"2022-03-24","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Known","notes":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2012-0507"},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":true,"firstPublished":"2012-03-30","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":18679,"kind":"exploit","title":"Java - AtomicReferenceArray Type Violation (Metasploit)","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/18679","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/multiple/remote/18679.rb","file":"exploits/multiple/remote/18679.rb","published":"2012-03-30","added":"2012-03-30","updated":"2012-03-30","author":"Metasploit","type":"remote","platform":"multiple","port":null,"verified":true,"codes":["CVE-2012-0507","OSVDB-80724"],"tags":"Metasploit Framework (MSF)","aliases":null,"applicationUrl":null,"screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":null}]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"Known to be exploited in the wild (CISA KEV, CISA remediation deadline 24 March 2022).
