HTTP: Oracle Java Generic Signature Attribute Memory Corruption
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Oracle Java. The vulnerability is due to a failure to validate the generic signature attribute while parsing class files. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user to visit a webpage containing a maliciously crafted Java applet. Successful exploitation could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the currently logged-in user.
