Sun Java SE 5.0 before Update 22 and 6 before Update 17 on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a BMP file containing a link to a UNC share pathname for an International Color Consortium (ICC) profile file, probably a related issue to CVE-2007-2789, aka Bug Id 6632445.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This older Sun Java flaw affects Windows systems running Java SE 5.0 before Update 22 or Java SE 6 before Update 17. A malicious BMP image could trigger a denial of service when Java processes an ICC color profile path that points to a UNC share. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows endpoints or servers that still have Sun Java SE 5.0 pre-Update 22 or Java SE 6 pre-Update 17 installed and can process untrusted BMP files through Java. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless affected Java is still used in business-critical workflows. Prioritize confirmation because vulnerable versions are very old and unsupported environments often carry broader operational risk. Mitigation focus: Identify Windows systems running affected Java SE 5.0 or 6 versions.; Upgrade Java SE 5.0 to Update 22 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Java SE 6 to Update 17 or later where applicable..
