Oracle Security Alert for CVE-2014-0160
Description
This Security Alert addresses CVE-2014-0160 ('Heartbleed'), a publicly disclosed vulnerability which affects multiple OpenSSL versions implemented by various vendors in their products. This vulnerability affects multiple Oracle products. This vulnerability may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e. it may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password. A remote user can exploit this vulnerability to impact the confidentiality of systems that are running affected versions of OpenSSL. According to http://heartbleed.com, the compromised data may contain passwords, private keys, and other sensitive information. In some instances, this information could be used by a malicious attacker to log into systems using a stolen identity or decrypt private information that was sent months or years ago.
