NOTE: the previous information is from the January 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that this is a heap-based buffer overflow in the readImage function, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted image data. ## Affected - `jdk = 1.6.0` - `jdk = 1.7.0` - `jdk = 1.8.0` - `jre = 1.6.0` - `jre = 1.7.0` - `jre = 1.8.0` - `jrockit = r28.3.8` - `ubuntu_linux = 12.04` - `ubuntu_linux = 14.04` - `ubuntu_linux = 15.04` - `ubuntu_linux = 15.10` ## Remediation Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
