Description Tomas Hoger 2014-10-07 14:24:54 UTC 
It was discovered that the Libraries component in OpenJDK failed to properly check permission of the code when setting resource bundles on the Logger class instances.  An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to set resource bundle on system logger instance, making it possible to see or manipulate logs of privileged code, and hence bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2014-10-14 20:07:59 UTC 
Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - October 2014.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 5.0u75, 6u85, 7u71, and 8u25.
