-- CVE ID:
CVE-2011-0862

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

-- Affected Vendors:
Oracle

-- Affected Products:
Oracle Java Runtime

TippingPoint IPS customers have been protected against this
vulnerability by Digital Vaccine protection filter ID 11228.

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

The specific flaw exists within the way Java handles color profiles.
When parsing a color profile containing a invalid MultiLanguage 'mluc'
tag it is possible to cause an integer to wrap during an arithmetic
operation. This new value is used to allocate memory on the heap. A
remote attacker can abuse the faulty code to execute code under the
context of the user running the browser.

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