Description Tomas Hoger 2015-01-19 14:48:20 UTC 
A NULL pointer deference flaw was found in the MulticastSocket implementation in the Libraries component of OpenJDK.  A NULL network interface name could trigger a NULL pointer dereference in the OpenJDK native networking code.  An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.

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