An insufficient array boundary check flaw was discovered in the ICU library Layout Engine component, used as part of the 2D component in OpenJDK. A specially-crafted font file could trigger an out of bounds read, which could lead to information disclosure or application crash. A malicious Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
