Description Tomas Hoger 2015-01-16 08:29:32 EST

It was discovered that the transport implementation in the RMI component in OpenJDK used incorrect context class loader in certain cases.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2015-01-20 16:58:51 EST

Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - January 2015.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 5.0u81, 6u91, 7u75, and 8u31.
