| Description: | From the Red Hat advisory:
An uninitialized pointer use flaw was found in the IcedTea-Web plug-in. Visiting a malicious web page could possibly cause a web browser using the IcedTea-Web plug-in to crash, disclose a portion of its memory, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-3422) It was discovered that the IcedTea-Web plug-in incorrectly assumed all strings received from the browser were NUL terminated.
