Sun Java Development Kit Font Serialization Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) is prone to a remote denial of service vulnerability. This is due to a font deserialization error. It has been demonstrated that this could be exploited to attack JBoss versions that employ affected versions of the JDK, though the issue itself exists in the JDK.

Successful exploitation could cause an application that implements the JDK to fail, denying service to legitimate users.
