Hello Kurt, Steve, vendors,

an information disclosure flaw was found in the way certain Java
Virtual Machines (JVM) used to initialize integer arrays (they have
had nonzero elements right after the allocation in certain
circumstances). An attacker could use this flaw to obtain
potentially sensitive information.
