Sun Java Runtime Environment Heap-Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Sun Java Runtime Environment is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application.
Mitigation:
Users should upgrade to the latest version of Sun Java Runtime Environment.
