Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
It was discovered that the Libraries component of OpenJDK did not validate the length of the object identifier read from the DER input before allocating memory to store the OID. An attacker able to make a Java application decode a specially crafted DER input could cause the application to consume an excessive amount of memory.

Description Tomas Hoger 2017-01-16 22:16:42 UTC
It was discovered that the ObjectIdentifier class in the Libraries component of OpenJDK did not check the length of the object identifier read from the input before allocating memory to store the OID.  An attacker able to make a Java application to decode a specially crafted DER input could cause the application to use an excessive amount of memory.  The DER encoding is used in e.g. X.509 certificates or LDAP protocol.
