From the Ubuntu Security Team
Francesco Palmarini, Marco Squarcina, Mauro Tempesta, and Riccardo Focardi discovered that the Serialization component of OpenJDK did not properly restrict the amount of memory allocated when deserializing objects from Java Cryptography Extension KeyStore (JCEKS). An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).
