CVE-2010-0842

Vulnerabilidad no especificada en el componente Sound en Oracle Java SE y Java for Business 6 Update 18, 5.0 Update 23, 1.4.2_25 y 1.3.1_27 permite a atacantes remotos afectar la confidencialidad, integridad y disponibilidad a través de vectores desconocidos. NOTA: la información previa fue obtenida de la CPU Marzo 2010. Oracle no ha comentado sobre alegaciones de un investigador confiable de que esto es un índice de array no controlado que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un archivo MIDI con un objeto MixerSequencer manipulado, relacionado con la estructura GM_Song.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Sun's Java Runtime Environment. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of MixerSequencer objects. When this object is used to play a MIDI file, the GM_Song structure is populated with song data. In particular, it stores a integer value from the file and uses it later as an index into an array of function pointers. If this value is over 128 the process can be made to call a pointer outside the array. This can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running the applet.
