## Description

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 5.0u55, 6u65, and 7u45; JRockit
R27.7.7 and R28.2.9; Java SE Embedded 7u45; and OpenJDK 7 allows remote
attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via
unknown vectors related to 2D. NOTE: the previous information is from the
January 2014 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that the
issue is due to incorrect input validation in LookupProcessor.cpp in the
ICU Layout Engine, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file.
