Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'icedtea-web' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The IcedTea-Web project provides a Java web browser plug-in and an implementation of Java Web Start, which is based on the Netx project. It also contains a configuration tool for managing deployment settings for the plug-in and Web Start implementations. An uninitialized pointer use flaw was found in the IcedTea-Web plug-in. Visiting a malicious web page could possibly cause a web browser using the IcedTea-Web plug-in to crash, disclose a portion of its memory, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-3422) It was discovered that the IcedTea-Web plug-in incorrectly assumed all strings received from the browser were NUL terminated.
