## Description

Unspecified vulnerability in the Sound component in Oracle Java SE and Java
for Business 6 Update 18, 5.0 Update 23, 1.4.2\_25, and 1.3.1\_27 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 uncontrolled array index that allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a MIDI file with a crafted
MixerSequencer object, related to the GM\_Song structure.
