Directory traversal vulnerability in the ICC_Profile.getInstance method in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in Sun Java SE 5.0 before Update 22 and 6 before Update 17, and OpenJDK, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of local International Color Consortium (ICC) profile files via a ..

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Java flaw where specially crafted input could let a remote attacker learn whether certain local ICC color profile files exist. The sources describe file-existence disclosure, not file theft or code execution. Risk is mainly in legacy Java installations that were never updated. Exposure is most likely on legacy systems running Sun Java SE 5.0 before Update 22, Java SE 6 before Update 17, or affected OpenJDK builds. Apple, Gentoo, and Mandriva references indicate packaged platform updates existed. Current supported Java installations should not be assumed vulnerable without version evidence. Treat this as legacy hygiene rather than an emergency. Prioritize finding and removing obsolete Java runtimes, especially on endpoints or systems exposed to untrusted content. Escalate only if unsupported Java remains business-critical. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Java SE 5.0 to Update 22 or later, or remove it.; Upgrade Java SE 6 to Update 17 or later.; Apply vendor Java/OpenJDK updates from Apple, Gentoo, Mandriva, or relevant platform maintainers..
