Description M. Edward (Ed) Borasky 2012-08-30 03:30:01 UTC 
Description of problem:

A zero-day vulnerability has been discovered in openJDK 1.7. 1.6 is not affected. See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/636312 for details. I'd like to drop back to openJDK 1.6 on my Fedora systems, but I can't, because the RPM isn't in the repositories.
Comment 1 David Jorm 2012-08-30 05:34:28 UTC 
Fedora 17 does not include openjdk 1.6, only openjdk 1.7. bug 852958 has been filed against Fedora 17 to track the resolution of this flaw in openjdk 1.7.
