VULHUB ™

A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) involving object deserialization could be exploited remotely to cause the Java Virtual Machine to become unresponsive, which is a type of Denial-of-Service (DoS). This issue can affect the JRE if an application that runs on it accepts serialized data from an untrusted source. Includes Sun advisory announcing release of JDK 1.4.2_06 and a note from Marc Shoenefeld who discovered the flaw.
