Vulnerabilidad no especificada en Oracle Java SE 6u121, 7u111 y 8u102 permite a atacantes remotos afectar a la confidencialidad, integridad y disponibilidad a través de vectores relacionados con AWT.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle Java. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of java.awt.Menu objects. By performing actions in code an attacker can cause a pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code outside the context of the Java sandbox.
