CVE-2010-3562

Publication date 19 October 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Unspecified vulnerability in the 2D component in Oracle Java SE and Java for Business 6 Update 21, 5.0 Update 25, 1.4.2_27, and 1.3.1_28 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the October 2010 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable downstream vendor that this is a double free vulnerability in IndexColorModel that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that there exists a double free in java's indexColorModel that could allow an attacker to cause an applet or application to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the user running the java applet or application.
