NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream java-1.7.1-ibm-demo package and not the java-1.7.1-ibm-demo package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 6u105, 7u91, and 8u66; Java SE Embedded 8u65; and JRockit R28.3.8 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via vectors related to AWT. NOTE: the previous information is from the January 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that this is a heap-based buffer overflow in the readImage function, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted image data.
