The Double.parseDouble method in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in Oracle Java SE and Java for Business 6 Update 23 and earlier, 5.0 Update 27 and earlier, and 1.4.2_29 and earlier, as used in OpenJDK, Apache, JBossweb, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted string that triggers an infinite loop of estimations during conversion to a double-precision binary floating-point number, as demonstrated using 2.2250738585072012e-308.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Java denial-of-service flaw. A specially crafted number-like string can make vulnerable Java runtimes hang while converting text to a double value. Business impact is availability: exposed Java services that parse untrusted numeric input could stall or consume CPU until restarted or patched. Exposure is most likely in legacy Java runtimes, embedded JVMs, older OpenJDK packages, or Java-based servers such as those referenced by vendor advisories. Current risk depends on whether internet-facing or partner-facing code parses untrusted numeric input on affected runtimes. Treat this as a legacy availability risk. It should not displace urgent exploited RCE work, but any externally reachable service still running affected Java should be remediated promptly because a simple input can disrupt service. Mitigation focus: Inventory Java runtimes and OpenJDK packages across servers and containers.; Upgrade affected Java versions using Oracle, Red Hat, Gentoo, Fedora, or platform vendor guidance.; Check embedded JVMs bundled with middleware and application servers..
