Description Tomas Hoger 2016-07-15 11:50:39 UTC 
It was discovered that the bytecode verifier in the Hotspot component of OpenJDK did not properly verify correctness of the bytecode in the loaded class files.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2016-07-20 07:41:01 UTC 
Public now via Oracle CPU July 2016, fixed in Oracle JDK 8u101 and 7u111.
