Explanation :

Exploit:Java/Gimsh.A is the detection for a malicious Java applet that exploits the vulnerability in Sun Java RunTime Environment discussed in CVE-2007-0243.   When a GIF image with a specified width of 0 is opened, the Java Runtime Environment overwrites memory contents, which can cause pointer corruption.   Once executed with a vulnerable version of the Java Runtime environment, this malware attempts to download and execute possibly malicious files from a Web site. Upgrading to the latest Java Runtime Environment prevents the exploit from executing.   Analysis by Marianne Mallen
