Description Pedro Sampaio 2020-08-04 17:03:45 UTC
It was discovered that the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data in HTML rendering in JavaFX can result in a write past the end of an allocated data structure. This issue can potentially lead to code execution in the current process context.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2020-08-04 20:24:15 UTC
This is not an OpenJDK issue, but rather JavaFX / OpenJFX, which is not currently shipped as part of any Red Hat product.

Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2020-08-04 20:25:09 UTC
The details of the flaw as noted in comment 0 are not available in the Oracle CPU, but rather seem to come from this ZDI advisory:
