> computeKey() has an integer overflow. Since it is a sparse matrix, this is quite easily encountered long before heap space is exhausted. The code below demonstrates the problem, which could potentially be a security vulnerability (for example, if one was to use this matrix to store access control information).
> Workaround: never create an OpenMapRealMatrix with more cells than are addressable with an int.
> import org.apache.commons.math.linear.OpenMapRealMatrix;
> public class Flaw {
> 	public static void main(String[] args) {
> 		OpenMapRealMatrix m = new OpenMapRealMatrix(3, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
> 		m.setEntry(0, 0, 2);
> 		m.setEntry(2, 2, 3);
> 		//Should print "2.0", but instead it prints "3.0"
> 		System.out.println(m.getEntry(0, 0));
> 	}
> }
