## Description

Multiple buffer overflows in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) 6 Update 12 and earlier allow remote attackers to access
files or execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted PNG image that triggers
an integer overflow during memory allocation for display on the splash
screen, aka CR 6804996; and (2) a crafted GIF image from which unspecified
values are used in calculation of offsets, leading to object-pointer
corruption, aka CR 6804997.
