## Description

Unspecified vulnerability in the 2D component in Oracle Java SE and Java
for Business 6 Update 21, 5.0 Update 25, and 1.4.2\_27 allows remote
attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via
unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the
October 2010 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable
researcher that this is an integer overflow that triggers memory corruption
via large values in a subsample of a JPEG image, related to
JPEGImageWriter.writeImage in the imageio API.

### From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that improper checks of unspecified image metadata
in JPEGImageWriter.writeImage of the imageio API could allow an
attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running a java applet or application.
