How to Read JPEG image into BufferedImage object using Java

Question

This is not a duplicated question here, because I've been searching for the solution for a long time in Google and StackOverflow, and still cannot find a solution.

I have these two images:

These are two images from the same website with same prefix and same format. The only difference is the size: the first is larger, while the second is smaller.

I downloaded both of the images to local folder and used Java to read them into BufferedImage objects. However, when I outputted the BufferedImages to local files, I found that the first image was almost red, while the second was normal(same as original). What's wrong with my code?

byte[] rawData = getRawBytesFromFile(imageFilePath); // some code to read raw bytes from image file
ImageInputStream iis = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(rawData));
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(iis);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outputImagePath, false);
ImageIO.write(img, "JPEG", fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();

PS: I used GIMP to open the first image and detected that the Color Mode is 'sRGB', no alpha or other stuff.

This is apparently a know bug, I saw several suggestions (this is one) that suggest using Toolkit#createImage instead, which apparently ignores the color model.

I tested this and it seems to work fine.

public class TestImageIO01 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            Image in = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage("C:\\hold\\test\\13652375852388.jpg");

            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, new JLabel(new ImageIcon(in)), "Yeah", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

            BufferedImage out = new BufferedImage(in.getWidth(null), in.getHeight(null), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
            Graphics2D g2d = out.createGraphics();
            g2d.drawImage(in, 0, 0, null);
            g2d.dispose();

            ImageIO.write(out, "jpg", new File("C:\\hold\\test\\Test01.jpg"));
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

nb- I used the JOptionPane to verify the incoming image. When using ImageIO it comes in with the red tinge, with Toolkit it looks fine.
