Vulnerable Systems:
* Oracle Java Runtime
User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists because Java does not sufficiently verify parameters certain functions. The function MixerSequencer.nAddControllerEventCallback fails to check for negative index numbers before writing user supplied data into a static array. This allows a malicious applet to write user controlled data outside the array boundaries resulting in remote code execution under the context of the current user.
Patch Availability:
Oracle has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details can be found at:
