Comment 2 Jan Lieskovsky 2011-02-17 17:06:49 UTC 
It was found that the Java launcher provided by OpenJDK did not check the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for insecure empty path elements. A local
attacker able to trick a user into running the Java launcher while working from
an attacker-writable directory could use this flaw to load an untrusted
library, subverting the Java security model.
