Subject: Re: CVE Request (minor) -- JVM: heap memory disclosure
(possibly various JDKs)
Jan/Kurt,
The bug report appears to be describing a narrow class of vulnerability
that could affect multiple codebases that implement Java Virtual Machines,
not just Oracle's; if so, then a separate CVE would be needed for each
REPORTED codebase, and CVE-2012-4416 is ONLY for bug id 7196857 for the
Oracle-supported JVM.
I wonder about the severity of the issue, but given the possibility that
applications might access an array before a fill, and applications may
depend on there being "empty" elements after initialization, this seems
reasonable for a CVE.
