Descriptions

The IcedTea-Web plugin before 1.2.1 does not properly handle NPVariant NPStrings without NUL terminators, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), obtain sensitive information from memory, or execute arbitrary code via a crafted Java applet.

El complemento IcedTea-Web anterior a v1.2.1 no maneja adecuadamente los (NPVariant) (NPStrings) sin terminadores NUL, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída), obtener información sensible de la memoria, o ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un (applet) de Java manipulado.

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.
