Oracle Java CMM crafted raster parameters remote code execution
CVE-2013-1493 is a vulnerability in the color management (CMM) functionality of the 2D component in Oracle Java SE / JRE. Affected versions include Java SE 7 Update 15 and earlier, 6 Update 41 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 40 and earlier. The flaw can be triggered by processing an image containing crafted raster parameters. Oracle’s description states that exploitation can lead to either an out-of-bounds read or memory corruption in the JVM. Because the vulnerable code is reachable through attacker-supplied image content, a remote attacker can deliver a malicious Java applet or JAR that causes the JVM to parse the malformed image data and corrupt memory, resulting in arbitrary code execution or a JVM crash. The vulnerability was exploited in the wild in February 2013 and was subsequently incorporated into multiple exploit kits.
