Description Tomas Hoger 2014-01-14 22:06:00 UTC
The default Java security properties configuration did not restrict access to sub-packages of the com.sun.corba.se package. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to trigger denial of service. This update lists whole com.sun.corba.se package as restricted in the java.security file.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2014-01-14 22:07:53 UTC
Public now via Oracle CPU January 2014.  Fixed in Oracle JDK 7u51, 6u71 and 5.0u61.

  Area:otherlibs/corba
  Synopsis:com.sun.corba.se.** should be on restricted package list.

  The JDK internal package com.sun.corba.se and its sub-packages have been
  added to the restricted package list and therefore cannot be used directly
  when running with a security manager.

  Workaround:
  Applications running with a security manager that make direct use of classes
  in these JDK internal packages, need to adjust their security policy to
  grant access. See Java Security Policy Files documentation.

  See 8021257.
