Description Stefan Cornelius 2014-04-14 10:20:17 UTC

It was discovered that MethodHandle did not properly handle variable
argument lists when permuting or dropping arguments. An untrusted Java
application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass Java
sandbox restrictions.

Fixed now in Oracle Java SE 7u55 and 8u5 via Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - April 2014.
