Descriptions
Multiple buffer overflows in the useEncodingDecl function in Java Web Start in Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 4 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 14 and earlier, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a JNLP file with (1) a long key name in the xml header or (2) a long charset value, different issues than CVE-2008-1189, aka "The first two issues."
Múltiples desbordamientos de búfer en la función useEncodingDecl en Java Web Start en JDK y JRE de Sun versión 6 Update 4 y anteriores, y versión 5.0 Update 14 y anteriores, permiten a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de un archivo JNLP con (1) un nombre de clave largo en el encabezado xml o (2) un valor de juego de caracteres largo, problemas diferentes del CVE-2008-1189, también se conoce como "The first two issues".
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Sun Java Web Start. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page.
The specific flaw exists in the useEncodingDecl() function used while parsing the xml header character encoding attribute. When a user downloads a malicious JNLP file, the charset value is read into a static buffer. If an overly charset name in the xml header is included, a stack based buffer overflow occurs, resulting in an exploitable condition.
