CVE-2004-2627
Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) does not properly validate bytecode, which allows remote attackers to escape the Kilobyte Virtual Machine (KVM) sandbox and execute arbitrary code.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.27%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
