Doc Text:
An off-by-one flaw, leading to a buffer overflow, was found in the font parsing code in the 2D component in OpenJDK. A specially crafted font file could possibly cause the Java Virtual Machine to execute arbitrary code, allowing an untrusted Java application or applet to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Description Tomas Hoger 2015-04-10 16:09:06 UTC
An off-by-one error, leading to heap-based buffer overflow in the ICU Layout Engine ligature substitution processor.  A check which was added as part of fix for CVE-2013-1569 (bug 952711) / CVE-2013-2383 (bug 952708) / CVE-2013-2384 (bug 952709) was found to contain an incorrect array boundary check.  A specially crafted file could cause an application using ICU to parse untrusted font files to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

The original fix was added to OpenJDK and ICU via the following commits:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-dev/jdk/rev/6784c9903db7

http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/changeset/33535
http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/10107

ICU code is embedded the 2D component in OpenJDK and used by FontManager.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.

Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2015-04-14 19:42:44 UTC
Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2015.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 6u95, 7u79, and 8u45.
