Description Tomas Hoger 2014-10-07 19:11:40 UTC 
It was discovered that the Hotspot JVM in OpenJDK failed to properly perform boundary checks when reading BootstrapMethods attributes from the Java class files.  A specially crafted class file could trigger JVM memory corruption.
Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2014-10-14 20:09:35 UTC 
Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - October 2014.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 7u71, and 8u25.
