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 12-032 - 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.
e918e5f728fffc6e2f50af6885efd54eRed Hat Security Advisory 2012-0325-01 - JBoss Web is a web container based on Apache Tomcat. A flaw was found in the way JBoss Web handled UTF-8 surrogate pair characters. If JBoss Web was hosting an application with UTF-8 character encoding enabled, or that included user-supplied UTF-8 strings in a response, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the JBoss Web server. It was found that the Java hashCode() method implementation was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause JBoss Web to use an excessive amount of CPU time by sending an HTTP request with a large number of parameters whose names map to the same hash value. Various other issues were addressed.

a7a1b377bf38def449dda1395695553dThis Metasploit module exploits a flaw within the handling of MixerSequencer objects in Java 6u18 and before. Exploitation id done by supplying a specially crafted MIDI file within an RMF File. When the MixerSequencer objects is used to play the file, the GM_Song structure is populated with a function pointer provided by a SONG block in the RMF. A Midi block that contains a MIDI with a specially crafted controller event is used to trigger the vulnerability. When triggering the vulnerability "ebx" points to a fake event in the MIDI file which stores the shellcode. A "jmp ebx" from msvcr71.dll is used to make the exploit reliable over java updates.

4bd0dd249264811761ce1a53ce39a8d8HP Security Bulletin HPSBUX02697 SSRT100591 2 - Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Java Developer Kit (JDK) running on HP-UX. These vulnerabilities could allow remote unauthorized access, disclosure of information, and other vulnerabilities. Revision 2 of this advisory.
f81a46fb7c45c36468485a1af46e45baThis Metasploit module exploits a heap overflow vulnerability in the Windows Multimedia Library (winmm.dll). The vulnerability occurs when parsing specially crafted MIDI files. Remote code execution can be achieved by using Windows Media Player's ActiveX control. Exploitation is done by supplying a specially crafted MIDI file with specific events, causing the offset calculation being higher than how much is available on the heap (0x400 allocated by WINMM!winmmAlloc), and then allowing us to either "inc al" or "dec al" a byte. This can be used to corrupt an array (CImplAry) we setup, and force the browser to confuse types from tagVARIANT objects, which leverages remote code execution under the context of the user. At this time, for IE 8 target, JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is required to bypass DEP (Data Execution Prevention). Note: Based on our testing, the vulnerability does not seem to trigger when the victim machine is operated via rdesktop.
