Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Oracle Java up to 7 Update 17 (Programming Language Software). Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown function of the component 2D. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect availability. The summary by CVE is:

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier, 6 Update 43 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 41 and earlier; and OpenJDK 6 and 7; allows remote attackers to affect availability via unknown vectors related to 2D. NOTE: the previous information is from the April 2013 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from another vendor that this issue is related to "font processing errors" in the International Components for Unicode (ICU) Layout Engine before 51.2.

The weakness was released 04/16/2013 with Oracle as Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory - April 2013 as not defined advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at oracle.com.
