Description Vincent Danen 2011-09-09 17:03:44 UTC

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2011-3387 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2011-3387
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3387
Assigned:
Reference: AIXAPAR:PM42551
Reference: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1PM42551

The class file parser in IBM Java 1.4.2 SR13 FP9 allows remote
authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption
or an infinite loop) via a crafted attribute length field in a class
file, related to validation of a length field at the wrong time, a
different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0311.
