Unspecified vulnerability in the Java 2D component in Oracle Java SE and Java for Business 6 Update 18, 5.0, Update, and 23 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the March 2010 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable researcher that this is a stack-based buffer overflow using an untrusted size value in the readMabCurveData function in the CMM module in the JVM.

  • The vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow triggered by an untrusted size value in the readMabCurveData function within the CMM (Color Management Module) of the JVM. Exploit delivery uses a maliciously crafted ICM color profile file (kodak.icm) served via an HTML page.
  • Exploit vector is an untrusted applet or application loading color profiles from untrusted sources; monitor Java applet activity involving ICC/ICM color profile loading.
  • The exploit payload patches bytes at offset 9154–9648 of a kodak.icm ICC profile file; detection should look for anomalously sized mAB curve data tags in ICC profile files delivered via web content.
  • ·Oracle has not officially confirmed the technical details of the vulnerability; the buffer overflow description is based on claims from an external researcher.
