Description Tomas Hoger 2015-10-19 12:24:29 UTC

It was discovered that the IIOPInputStream class in the CORBA component of OpenJDK failed to properly check object and field types during object deserialization.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2015-10-21 08:52:02 UTC

Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - October 2015.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 6u105, 7u91, and 8u65.
