The above URL still does not work, but the security bulletin is now available via the following URL:

It provides the following information for this issue:

  A vulnerability in the IBM implementation of the Java Virtual Machine may,
  under very limited circumstances, allow untrusted code running under a
  security manager to bypass permission checks and view sensitive information.
