UnknownEPSS 3.12%

Last modified Jun 16, 2026

CVE-2012-3422 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The getFirstInTableInstance function in the IcedTea-Web plugin before 1.2.1 returns an uninitialized pointer when the instance_to_id_map hash is empty, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted web page, which causes an uninitialized memory location to be read.. EPSS estimates a 3.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
