Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-039 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle Java. 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 way Java Webstart handles the 'java-vm-args' parameter in the j2se tag within a jnlp file. Due to insufficient sanitation it is possible to add additional double quotes to the commandline argument string used to start a new java process. This can lead to remote code execution under the rights of the current user.
651b5441e65bd315cdda098b21e89a94A vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle Java. 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 way Java handles True Type Font files. When reading a font file, Java will use the MaxInstructionSize from the maxp table to create a heap memory location to store all the Instruction Definition found in the Font Program 'fpgm' table. However, when Java encounters an IDEF opcode (0x89) in the opcode stream it never checks the size of the MaxInstructionSize which can result in a heap buffer overflow. This can lead to remote code execution under the context of the current process.
6dc4b5f748c872b9f9d63515be17303aZero Day Initiative Advisory 12-038 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle Java. 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 JavaFX, a downloadable Java extension. The JavaFX Jar file is signed by Oracle and can be installed without user interaction. Once installed it is possible to invoke the main method of any trusted class with arbitrary arguments and with a trusted call stack. This can be leveraged to remote code execution under the context of the user.
231f8aeef31f011725a480c0e021c24dZero Day Initiative Advisory 12-037 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle Java Webstart. 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 javaws.exe . Java Web Start does not safely handle double quotes that are placed anywhere except the beginning of certain property names in JNLP files. As a result, double quotes can be used to inject arbitrary command-line arguments into a javaw.exe process. Leveraging this would allow a remote attacker to execute code under the context of the user.
77f756182433ac4c10ec79e5fc2dd7e9Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-036 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the handling of VML element positioning. When appending a VML element to a textArea element a reference to a cDispScroller object can be improperly freed. The object is can be reused, and due to this object being freed, a later allocation can be located in this memory region. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the process.
d520febd6ac5db41fa8f6c3cee7dd1c7Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-035 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User interaction is required in that a target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within MSHTML, specifically the handling of an HTML time t:MEDIA element. A t:MEDIA element can be manipulated such that when the page is refreshed a reference to a freed CDispNode object remains allowing the repurpose of this region. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the process.
aca7c31cd83717483b28d457d97f425aZero Day Initiative Advisory 12-034 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows Media Player. 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 parsing of ASX meta files. When the code within wmp.dll attempts to process the version string within a meta file, it copies it to a fixed-length buffer on the stack without checking that the destination can contain the input data. This can be abused remotely by attackers to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running the media application.
7f261e288463a8955d67d85374f39877Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-033 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of ABB WebWare. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within RobNetScanHost.exe and its parsing of network packets accepted on port 5512. The parsing of 'Netscan' packets with opcodes 0xE and 0xA are vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow with a fixed allocation of 20 bytes. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code in the context of the service process (LocalSystem).
9c9f2852e344ce495a6eba94ae4668f6Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-032 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle's 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 how the application parses structures for a specific tag descriptor with a specific ICC color profile. When handling a field from this structure, the application will incorrectly check for signedness and then perform an operation on it. This will then get passed to an allocation. Immediately following this, the application will use a different size to initialize the allocation. This can lead to a controllable memory corruption which can be leveraged to achieve code execution under the context of the application.
