Sun Microsystems Java GIF File Parsing Memory Corruption
Severity: MEDIUM
CVE Identifier: CVE-2007-0243
Advisory Date: FEB 15, 2011
DESCRIPTION
Buffer overflow in Sun JDK and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0
Update 9 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.2_12 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.3.1_18
and earlier allows applets to gain privileges via a GIF image with a block with
a 0 width field, which triggers memory corruption.
