Description Stefan Cornelius 2014-04-14 06:19:21 EDT

It was discovered that the class file parser did not properly parse
class files with an invalid BootstrapMethods attribute length. An
untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to
bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Fixed now in Oracle Java SE 7u55 and 8u5 via Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - April 2014.
