CVE-2019-2698

First published: Tue Apr 16 2019(Updated: )

A out of bounds access flaw was found in the font layout engine in the 2D component of OpenJDK. Missing validation of the position value in GlyphIterator::setCurrGlyphID could lead to memory corruption, triggered by a specially crafted font file. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
