-- CVE ID:
CVE-2010-3559

-- CVSS:
9, (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:C)

-- Affected Vendors:
Oracle

-- Affected Products:
Oracle Java Runtime

-- TippingPoint(TM) IPS Customer Protection:
TippingPoint IPS customers have been protected against this
vulnerability by Digital Vaccine protection filter ID 10073.

-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of the Oracle Java Runtime. User interaction is
required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a
malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the support for processing SoundBank
files. While parsing BANK records, the HeadspaceSoundbank.nGetName
function improperly sign-extends the one byte value into 4 bytes. It is
later used as the size to a memcpy when operating on the BANK record's
data. An attacker can abuse this to execute arbitrary code under the
context of the user running the web browser.

-- Vendor Response:
Oracle has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More
details can be found at:
