CVE-2003-1301

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—

Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.x before 1.4.2_11 and 1.5.x before 1.5.0_06, and as used in multiple web browsers, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via deeply nested object arrays, which are not properly handled by the garbage collector and trigger invalid memory accesses.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
