Description Tomas Hoger 2013-02-03 20:18:07 UTC

A flaw was found in the way Java Beans MethodFinder handled its method lookup cache.  A restricted code could possibly use this flaw to obtain access to method previously looked up by a privileged code.  An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
