J2ME, interesting stuff

I've just seen Adam's post on the Full-Disclosure list. Apparently Sun has been informed but no Sun Alert is forthcoming. Considering that unlike the recent JRE XSLT issue the KVM is a harder to update. Most phones would require their ROMs reflashed, meaning a trip to the nearest cell technician or return to factory.

UPDATE:
Acoording to a tecchannel interview , licensees(Nokia,Siemens, others) have been provided with a fixed reference implementation. So it is now up to the licensees to update their various products.

The presentation pdf was quite large so I've converted it to .chm format for ease of reading. From 53MB to a bit more than 8. Most of the work was automated with pdf2html and pngcrush and the Html Help compiler.

For those looking for the original pdf, it's currently available through Packetstorm and mirrors.
