HTTP: Sun Java GIF File Handling Memory Corruption
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Sun Java SDK and Java Runtime Environment. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Extended Description
The 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 memory buffer. An attacker may exploit this issue by enticing a victim into opening a maliciously crafted Java applet. The attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the victim. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. This issue is being tracked by BugID: 6445518
