Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE). A remote user can access files on the target user's system. A remote user can cause arbitrary applications on the target user's system to be executed.
A remote user can create a specially crafted applet or Java Web Start application that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a buffer or integer overflow in the processing of audio and image files to gain access to files on the target system or execute arbitrary applications residing on the target system.
Peter Vreugdenhil (via TippingPoint), regenrecht (via iDefense and TippingPoint), and anonymous researchers (via iDefense and TippingPoint) reported these vulnerabilities.
