Dag H. Wanvik commented on DERBY-5126:
--------------------------------------
I am not sure I understand why we need to add a test case for this to Derby. In
my view, this is a JDK error, not a Derby error.
Do we propose to make Derby refuse to run on the vulnerable JDKs? If not, I
think the tests should be able to run on such JDKs as well. A proper notice in
the release notes would suffice, IMHO.

> There is a known serious JVM issue with both Sun and IBM JVM's that can
> cause a hang with the following code and perhaps other cases:
> public class ReproCVE20104476 {
> private static final String
> PROBLEM_NUMBER_STRING="2.2250738585072012e-308" ;
> public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
> Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
> Connection conn =
> DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby:wombat;create=true");
> // clean up from a previous run
> Statement s = conn.createStatement();
> try {
> s.executeUpdate("DROP TABLE T");
> } catch (SQLException se) {
> if (!se.getSQLState().equals("42Y55"))
> throw se;
> }
> s.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE T (d1 VARCHAR(30))");
> PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO T VALUES
> (?)");
> ps.setString(1, PROBLEM_NUMBER_STRING);
> ps.executeUpdate();
> ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery("SELECT * from T");
> rs.next();
> double d = rs.getDouble(1);
> System.out.println("double value = " + d);
> }
> }
> The IBM announcement and fix is here:
> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/alerts/cve-2010-4476.html
> There is a link from that page to the Oracle announcement.
> I am not sure yet if Mac or other JVM's are affected.
> I would like to check a regression test into trunk at some point soon, but
> this will require that all people running Derby tests upgrade their JVM's, so
> want to set a reasonable deadline. Does April 15 sound reasonable? Also are
> there any JVM's/platforms that should be excluded because there is not a fix
> available yet?
> Thanks
