Sun Java Wireless Toolkit for CLDC unspecified buffer overflow
| sun-java-wtk-unspecified-bo (47376) |  High Risk |
Description:
Sun Java Wireless Toolkit for CLDC is vulnerable to multiple stack-based buffer overflows, caused by improper bounds checking by the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit (WTK). By persuading a victim to download a malicious program and execute it in the WTK, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
