CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier, 6 Update 43 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 41 and earlier; and OpenJDK 6 and 7; allows remote attackers to affect availability via unknown vectors related to 2D. NOTE: the previous information is from the April 2013 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from another vendor that this issue is related to "font processing errors" in the International Components for Unicode (ICU) Layout Engine before 51.2.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2013-2419 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2013-2419. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
