Description Tomas Hoger 2014-07-14 21:26:07 UTC 
It was discovered that MethodHandles.Lookup did not properly check for "protected" modifier, making it possible to access protected constructors in a different package.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
