Description Tomas Hoger 2014-01-14 22:34:16 UTC

An unspecified issue related to ObjC code was discovered in the Hotspot component of OpenJDK when use on the Apple MacOS X platform.  An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

This issue was platform specific and did not affect Linux OpenJDK packages.

Statement:

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of OpenJDK and Oracle JDK as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2014-01-14 22:35:45 UTC

Public now via Oracle CPU January 2014.  Fixed in Oracle JDK 7u51.
