Description Tomas Hoger 2012-10-11 14:14:55 UTC

It was discovered that the java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle implementation did not properly do access control checks.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2012-10-17 14:39:58 UTC

Fixed now in Oracle JDK 7u9.
