--- title: "CVE-2010-3569\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2010-3569?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2010-3569 Publication date 19 October 2010 Last updated 24 July 2024 --- Ubuntu priority **Low** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) Toggle side navigation ## Description Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment component in Oracle Java SE and Java for Business 6 Update 21, 5.0 Update 25, and 1.4.2\_27 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the October 2010 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable downstream vendor that this allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by causing the defaultReadObject method in the Serialization API to set a volatile field multiple times. ### From the Ubuntu Security Team It was discovered that the defaultReadObject of the Serialization API could be tricked into setting a volatile field multiple times. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running a java applet or application.
