Minecraft crashes when summoning a fireball

Whenever a fireball is spawned using the "/summon" command or through server plugins or fireball spawners the game freezes or crashes instantly. This does not happen when a ghast shoots a fireball however.

What I expected to happen was:
A fireball to spawn.

What actually happened was:
The game freezes or crashes.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a survival or creative world
2. Type "/summon Fireball" in the chat
3. Game freezes

This is a technical support issue; this site is for bug reports only. For technical support please use the Mojang Support Center.

Also malformed command, you have not provided all the required variables.

I have the same problem when I use the command
/summon FireBall ~ ~ ~ {Motion:[0.0,0.0,0.0],direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0],ExplosionPower:1]
My game crashes also this happens when I summon some other mobs

I managed to fix this issue by updating to the latest version of Java.
You could try doing that if you haven't already and then if it still doesn't work create a new bug report because it's probably a different bug.

There are also some problems with your command which should be:
/summon Fireball ~ ~ ~ {Motion:[0.0,0.0,0.0],direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0],ExplosionPower:1}
This command works for me in the minecraft 1.8.9
