    Description

      In classinitialize.c:Locked_ResolveClassConstant(),
      resolving a string constant does not check if the index to
      the UTF8 is valid. Patching the constant table of a .class
      file to include a large index for a string constant can cause
      the java interpreter to SEGV.

      Included below is a uuencoded class file that has been
      patched and causes java to crash.

      begin 664 test.class
