CVE-2007-2788· NVD / CVE Program· CNA mitre

Integer overflow in the embedded ICC profile image parser in Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) before 1.5.0_11-b03 and 1.6.x before 1.6.0_01-b0

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 18.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 97.1% of all records.
  • Fixed version: java-1.4.2-bea (Red Hat:rhel_extras:3) 0:1.4.2.16-1jpp.1.el3; java-1.4.2-bea-devel (Red Hat:rhel_extras:3) 0:1.4.2.16-1jpp.1.el3; java-1.4.2-bea-jdbc (Red Hat:rhel_extras:3) 0:1.4.2.16-1jpp.1.el3.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to java-1.4.2-bea (Red Hat:rhel_extras:3) 0:1.4.2.16-1jpp.1.el3; java-1.4.2-bea-devel (Red Hat:rhel_extras:3) 0:1.4.2.16-1jpp.1.el3; java-1.4.2-bea-jdbc (Red Hat:rhel_extras:3) 0:1.4.2.16-1jpp.1.el3 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Integer overflow in the embedded ICC profile image parser in Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) before 1.5.0_11-b03 and 1.6.x before 1.6.0_01-b06, and Sun Java Runtime Environment in JDK and JRE 6, JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 10 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.2_14 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.3.1_20 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (JVM crash) via a crafted JPEG or BMP file that triggers a buffer overflow.
