This noncompliant code example initializes the loop counter i to 0 and then increments it by 2 on each iteration, basically enumerating all the even, positive values. The loop is expected to terminate when i is greater than Integer.MAX_value VALUE - 1, an even value. In this case, the loop fails to terminate because the counter wraps around before becoming greater than Integer.MAX_VALUE - 1.

Incorrect termination of loops may result in infinite loops, poor performance, incorrect results, and other problems. In any of the conditions used to terminate a loop can be influenced by an attacker, these errors can be exploited to cause a denial of service or other attack.
