Official Description
Interpretation conflict in the Sun Java Virtual Machine (JVM) allows user-assisted remote attackers to conduct a multi-pin DNS rebinding attack and execute arbitrary JavaScript in an intranet context, when an intranet web server has an HTML document that references a "mayscript=true" Java applet through a local relative URI, which may be associated with different IP addresses by the browser and the JVM.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-5375 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
