CVE: CVE-2008-4796
Component: snoopy
CWE: CWE-78
Severity: Important
Release date: 2008-10-31T00:00:00+00:00

CVE: CVE-2008-5353
Component: OpenJDK calendar object deserialization allows privilege escalation (6734167)
Severity: Critical
Release date: 2008-12-04T00:00:00+00:00

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 10 and earlier; JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 16 and earlier; and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_18 and earlier does not properly enforce context of ZoneInfo objects during deserialization, which allows remote attackers to run untrusted applets and applications in a privileged context, as demonstrated by "deserializing Calendar objects".
