FILE-JAVA -- Snort has detected traffic targeting vulnerabilities that are exploited in java files such as .class or .jar.
FILE-JAVA Oracle Java Runtime Environment JAR File Processing Stack Buffer Overflow
Stack-based buffer overflow in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Sun JDK allows locally-launched and possibly remote untrusted Java applications to execute arbitrary code via a JAR file with a long Main-Class manifest entry.
This rule alerts on traffic from exploit to a client.

Buffer Overflow
Buffer Overflows occur when a memory location is filled past its expected boundaries. Computer attackers target systems without proper terminating conditions on buffers, which then write the additional information in other locations in memory, overwriting what is there. This could corrupt the data, making the system behave erratically or crash. The new information could include malicious executable code, which might be executed.
CVE-2008-5354Stack-based buffer overflow in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 10 and earlier; JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 16 and earlier; and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_18 and earlier allows locally-launched and possibly remote untrusted Java applications to execute arbitrary code via a JAR file with a long Main-Class manifest entry. |
