Discussion

RETIRED: Sun Java Runtime Environment Image Parsing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The Sun Java Runtime Environment is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of a user who invokes a malicious Java applet.

This BID is being retired as a duplicate of the issues dicussed in BID 24004 (Sun JDK JPG/BMP Parser Multiple Vulnerabilities).
