Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Sun JRE 1.5.0/1.5.0 11-b03 (Programming Language Software). It has been classified as critical. This affects the function apple.laf.CColourUIResource of the file apple.laf.CColourUIResource. The manipulation of the argument first with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The Aqua Look and Feel for Java implementation in Java 1.5 on Mac OS X 10.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a call to the undocumented apple.laf.CColourUIResource constructor with a crafted value in the first argument, which is dereferenced as a pointer.

The bug was discovered 06/16/2009. The weakness was presented 06/16/2009 with Zero Day Initiative (Website). The advisory is shared at securityfocus.com.
