Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Sun Java System Application Server up to 7.0 (Application Server Software). This affects some unknown processing of the component SOAP Web Service. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory allocation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-789. The product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

Unknown vulnerability in Sun Java System Application Server 7.0 Update 2 and earlier, when a SOAP web service expects an array of objects as an argument, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).

The weakness was disclosed 03/15/2004 by Amit Klein (Website). The advisory is shared at marc.theaimsgroup.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2004-1816 since 05/04/2005.
