Description Tomas Hoger 2013-02-04 07:46:45 UTC 
It was discovered that Java logging API does not properly perform access control checks.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Comment 10 Tomas Hoger 2013-02-14 10:17:20 UTC 
Fixed in upstream IcedTea versions IcedTea6 1.11.6, and 1.12.1, and IcedTea7 2.1.5, 2.2.5, and 2.3.6:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2013-February/021708.html

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2013-February/021876.html

Note that version 2.3.5 was tagged in upstream mercurial including the security fixes, but was not released.  Only 2.3.6 was released, correcting problem introduced by security patches as included in 2.3.5.

The regression mentioned in comment #5 was included in IcedTea6 1.11.6 and 1.12.1 and corrected in versions 1.11.7 and 1.12.2:
