Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) versions 1.4.2 through 1.5.0
Description
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the InitialDirContext in Java Runtime Environment. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a Java exception and failed DNS requests. The attack is facilitated by a large number of DNS requests, which causes the
xid variable to wrap around and become negative.Recommendations
For Java Runtime Environment versions 1.4.2 through 1.5.0, consider restricting the number of DNS requests to prevent the
xid variable from wrapping around and becoming negative, until a patch is available.Correção
