Description Tomas Hoger 2015-07-13 08:23:03 UTC
It was discovered that the RMIConnectionImpl class in the JMX component of OpenJDK failed to properly check code permissions when creating repository class loaders.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to read information access to which should be restricted by the Java sandbox, partially bypassing sandbox restrictions.

Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - July 2015.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 6u101, 7u85, and 8u51.
