Description Tomas Hoger 2012-10-11 17:29:44 UTC 
Oracle Java SE updates 7u9 and 6u37 disable Gopher protocol support by default in the java.net package.  Update also introduces a new property "jdk.net.registerGopherProtocol" which can be set to true to re-enable Gopher support.
Comment 2 Vincent Danen 2012-10-17 01:57:52 UTC 
MITRE describes the issue thus:

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 7 and earlier, 6 Update 35 and earlier, 5.0 Update 36 and earlier, and 1.4.2_38 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to have an unspecified impact via unknown vectors related to Networking.  NOTE: the Oracle CPU states that this issue has a 0.0 CVSS score. If so, then this is not a vulnerability and this issue should not be included in CVE.
Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2012-10-17 14:40:20 UTC 
Fixed now in Oracle JDK 7u9 and 6u37.
