Detail

The Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) provider in Java on Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11, 10.5.4, and 10.5.5 uses an uninitialized variable, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted applet, related to an "error checking issue."

Id Description
49091 Java on Apple Mac OS X HMAC Provider Crafted Applet Arbitrary Code Execution

A code execution flaw exists in Mac OS X. Java fails to validate applets which use the Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) provider resulting in a code execution via an uninitialized variable. With a specially crafted applet, a context-dependent attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
