CVE-2012-3422: Use of uninitialized instance pointers
An uninitialized pointer use flaw was found in IcedTea-Web web browser
plugin. A malicious web page could use this flaw make IcedTea-Web
browser plugin pass invalid pointer to a web browser. Depending on the
browser used, it may cause the browser to crash or possibly execute
arbitrary code.
The get_cookie_info() and get_proxy_info() call
getFirstInTableInstance() with the instance_to_id_map hash as a
parameter. If instance_to_id_map is empty (which can happen when
plugin was recently removed), getFirstInTableInstance() returns an
uninitialized pointer.
CVE-2012-3423: Incorrect handling of non 0-terminated strings
It was discovered that the IcedTea-Web web browser plugin incorrectly
assumed that all strings provided by browser are NUL terminated, which
is not guaranteed by the NPAPI (Netscape Plugin Application
Programming Interface). When used in a browser that does not NUL
terminate NPVariant NPStrings, this could lead to buffer over-read or
over-write, resulting in possible information leak, crash, or code
execution.
Mozilla browsers currently NUL terminate strings, however recent
Chrome versions are known not to provide NUL terminated data.
