Overview

CVE-2007-0012 is a known-severity vulnerability affecting sun jre. It was published on January 9, 2008.

Technical Description

Sun JRE 5.0 before update 14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer crash) via an object tag with an encoded applet and an undefined name attribute, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference in jpiexp32.dll when the applet is decoded and passed to the JVM.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from sun. Update jre to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
