Available information: "ICC_Profile allows detecting if some files exist" Interpretation after code inspection. An information leakage vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment with color profiles may allow application to determine the existence of color profile files outside of the ${java.iccprofile.path} directory. This is possible by checking whether the returned value of ICC_Profile.getInstance with a returns a null for a given file name that has a directory traversal prefix (like ../blabla.pf). Evaluation: This is a borderline case of information leakage, as the java.io.File class allows to aquire the same information easier, and is not limited to color profiles. But as a positive side effect the patch shortens the length of a the privileged block to read the color profile, and reduces the generic attack surface.
