Denial of Service Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE and OpenJDK

CVE-2012-2739 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Oracle Java SE before 7 Update 6, and OpenJDK 7 before 7u6 build 12 and 8 before build 39, computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table.
