Java Media Framework (JMF) Vulnerability |
||
|
Acertains the presence of JMF Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is using Sun Microsystems's Java Media Framework (JMF). There is a bug in the version installed which may permit an untrusted applet to crash the Java Virtual Machine it is being run on, or even to gain unauthorized rights. A possible hacker could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code on this host. To exploit this flaw, the attacker would need to send a rogue java applet to a user of the remote host and have him execute it (since Java applets are running in a sandbox, a user may probably feel safe executing it). Solution : Upgrade to JMF 2.1.1e or newer Risk : Medium Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2003 Tenable Network Security |
