FAUCET Score

CVE-2013-2431 is an unspecified vulnerability within the HotSpot component of Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier, and OpenJDK 6 and 7. This critical flaw, with a CVSS score of 10.0, allows remote attackers to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability with low attack complexity and no authentication required.
