NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openjdk-8 package and not the openjdk-8 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The Type_MLU_Read function in cmstypes.c in Little CMS (aka lcms2) allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service via an image with a crafted ICC profile, which triggers an out-of-bounds heap read.
