Description Tomas Hoger 2015-01-19 14:48:20 UTC
A NULL pointer deference flaw was found in the MulticastSocket implementation in the Libraries component of OpenJDK.  A NULL network interface name could trigger a NULL pointer dereference in the OpenJDK native networking code.  An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
