This problem was initially discovered by Arthur Gerkis and got assigned CVE-2012-4540. Fixes where applied in the 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 branches but not to the 1.4 branch.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4-3~deb7u2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4-3.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your icedtea-web packages.");
