Descriptions

The getFirstInTableInstance function in the IcedTea-Web plugin before 1.2.1 returns an uninitialized pointer when the instance_to_id_map hash is empty, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted web page, which causes an uninitialized memory location to be read.

La función getFirstInTableInstance en el complemento IcedTea-Web anteior a v1.2.1 devuelve un puntero no inicializado cuando el hash instance_to_id_map está vacío, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecutar código mediante una página Web manipulada, lo que provoca una lectura de una posición de memoria no inicializada.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the IcedTea JDK, the worst of which could lead to arbitrary code execution. Versions less than 6.1.13.3 are affected.
