Description Tomas Hoger 2016-01-15 12:11:01 UTC 
Integer signedness issues were discovered in IndicRearrangementProcessor and IndicRearrangementProcessor2 in the ICU Layout Engine.  A specially crafted font file could cause an application using ICU to parse untrusted fonts to crash and, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

ICU code is embedded the 2D component in OpenJDK and used by FontManager.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with Java Virtual Machine privileges and bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2016-01-15 12:15:44 UTC 
Upstream fix changes type of firstGlyph and lastGlyph from unsigned int to signed int, reverting part of the fix for CVE-2015-4844 (bug 1273318) applied as part of the previous Oct 2015 CPU:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/jdk/rev/dbb4e2bdfa9e#l2.15

This change also impacts boundary checks added in the same commit, as they may be optimized out by compiler when signed types are used.

The above patch has not been applied to ICU yet, hence ICU packages are not affected.  Upstream ICU bug report for CVE-2015-4844:

http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/12020
Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2016-01-19 21:51:01 UTC 
Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - January 2016.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 6u111, 7u95, and 8u71.
