Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Java versions prior to 1.4.2 SR13 FP9 IBM Runtimes for Java Technology 5.0.0 versions prior to SR13 IBM Runtimes for Java Technology 6.0.0 versions prior to SR10

Description The issue allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service, potentially resulting in a JVM segmentation fault, memory consumption, or an infinite loop. This is achieved by exploiting a crafted attribute length field in a class file, which triggers a buffer over-read.
