CVE-2010-3567

Publication date 19 October 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Unspecified vulnerability in the 2D component in Oracle Java SE and Java for Business 6 Update 21, and 5.0 Update 25 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the October 2010 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable downstream vendor that this is related to a calculation error in right-to-left text character counts for the ICU OpenType font rendering implementation, which triggers an out-of-bounds memory access.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that a miscalculation in the OpenType font rendering implementation would allow out-of-bounds memory access. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running a java application.
