VLAI
Summary
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Sun Java Platform Micro Edition (aka Java ME, J2ME, or mobile Java), as distributed in Sun Wireless Toolkit 2.5.2, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors. NOTE: as of 20080807, the only disclosure is a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. However, because it is from a company led by a well-known researcher, it is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
