Description Tomas Hoger 2012-10-11 12:23:12 UTC

It was discovered that the JavaBeans XMLDecoder failed to implement access control checks.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2012-10-17 07:30:57 UTC

Fixed now in Oracle JDK 7u9 and 6u37.
