Description Tomas Hoger 2015-04-13 13:56:44 UTC 
A flaw was found in the way the Hotspot JVM handled phantom references.  An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to corrupt JVM memory and, possibly, execute arbitrary code, bypassing Java sandbox restrictions.

This fix corrects the patch for CVE-2015-0395 (bug 1183031) fixed in Jan 2015 CPU.
Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2015-04-14 19:43:58 UTC 
Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2015.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 6u95, 7u79, and 8u45.
