How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 icedtea-web-javadoc to version 0:1.2.1-1.el6_3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream icedtea-web-javadoc package and not the icedtea-web-javadoc package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
