Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 11.04 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

The IcedTea-Web Java web browser plugin could be made to crash or possibly run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted applet.

Software Description: - icedtea-web: A web browser plugin to execute Java applets

Details:

Chamal De Silva discovered that the IcedTea-Web Java web browser plugin could dereference an uninitialized pointer. A remote attacker could use this to craft a malicious web page that could cause a denial of service by crashing the web browser or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-3422)

Steven Bergom and others discovered that the IcedTea-Web Java web browser plugin assumed that all strings provided by browsers are NULL terminated, which is not guaranteed by the NPAPI (Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface). A remote attacker could use this to craft a malicious Java applet that could cause a denial of service by crashing the web browser, expose sensitive information or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-3423)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
icedtea-6-plugin 1.2-2ubuntu1.1
icedtea-7-plugin 1.2-2ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 11.10:
icedtea-6-plugin 1.2-2ubuntu0.11.10.2

Ubuntu 11.04:
icedtea-6-plugin 1.2-2ubuntu0.11.04.2

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
icedtea-6-plugin 1.2-2ubuntu0.10.04.2

After a standard system update you need to restart your web browser to make all the necessary changes.
