## Description

Unspecified vulnerability in the ImageIO component in Oracle Java SE and
Java for Business 6 Update 18, 5.0 Update 23, and 1.4.2\_25 allows remote
attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via
unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the
March 2010 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable
researcher that this is an integer overflow in the Java Runtime Environment
that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a JPEG image
that contains subsample dimensions with large values, related to
JPEGImageReader and "stepX".
