Description Tomas Hoger 2012-10-11 14:14:55 UTC 
It was discovered that the java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle implementation did not properly do access control checks.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2012-10-17 14:39:58 UTC 
Fixed now in Oracle JDK 7u9.
