CVE-2014-8873
Published: 9 November 2015
A .desktop file in the Debian openjdk-7 package 7u79-2.5.5-1~deb8u1 includes a MIME type registration that is added to /etc/mailcap by mime-support, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a JAR file.
Notes

| tyhicks | Ubuntu is not affected due to our policy that prohibits desktop files from directly executing files that don't have the executable bit set (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Policies#Execute-Permission_Bit_Required) |
