It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK did not properly check received Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) packets. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to send debugging commands to a Java program running with debugging enabled if they could make victim's browser send HTTP requests to the JDWP port of the debugged application.

Description Tomas Hoger 2016-10-17 09:59:11 UTC 
It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK did not properly check Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) packets, which could possibly allow HTTP requests issues by a web browser to be interpreted as valid JDWP messages.  An attacker could possibly use this flaw to send debugging commands to a Java program or applet running with debugging enabled if they could make victim's browser send HTTP requests to the JDWP port of the debugged application.
Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2016-10-18 20:09:48 UTC 
Public now via Oracle CPU October 2016, fixed in Oracle JDK 8u111, 7u121, and 6u131.
