EIP tracks 2 public exploits from researchers including Metasploit, Peter Vreugdenhil, juan vazquez, including a Metasploit module exploits/windows/browser/java_mixer_sequencer.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability in Java 6u18 and earlier by crafting a malicious RMF file with a specially crafted MIDI file. The exploit triggers a memory corruption issue in the MixerSequencer object, leading to arbitrary code execution via a controlled jump to shellcode.
Description
Unspecified vulnerability in the Sound component in Oracle Java SE and Java for Business 6 Update 18, 5.0 Update 23, 1.4.2_25, and 1.3.1_27 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the March 2010 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable researcher that this is an uncontrolled array index that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a MIDI file with a crafted MixerSequencer object, related to the GM_Song structure.
