Description Tomas Hoger 2015-10-20 12:31:56 UTC
An information disclosure flaw was found in the JAXP component of OpenJDK.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to get information about user home directory location (the content of the "user.dir" system property), hence bypassing certain Java sandbox restrictions.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2015-10-21 08:54:33 UTC
Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - October 2015.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 6u105, 7u91, and 8u65.
