CVE-2016-5547
First published: Mon Jan 16 2017(Updated: )
It was discovered that the ObjectIdentifier class in the Libraries component of OpenJDK did not check the length of the object identifier read from the input before allocating memory to store the OID. An attacker able to make a Java application to decode a specially crafted DER input could cause the application to use an excessive amount of memory. The DER encoding is used in e.g. X.509 certificates or LDAP protocol.
