This issue was patched in ELSA-2012-1132.

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 Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The getFirstInTableInstance function in the IcedTea-Web plugin before 1.2.1 returns an uninitialized pointer when the instance_to_id_map hash is empty, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted web page, which causes an uninitialized memory location to be read.
