Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component
in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier, and OpenJDK 7, allows remote
attackers to affect integrity via unknown vectors related to HotSpot.
NOTE: the previous information is from the April 2013 CPU. Oracle has not
commented on claims from the original researcher that this vulnerability
allows remote attackers to bypass permission checks by the MethodHandles
method and modify arbitrary public final fields using reflection and type
confusion, as demonstrated using integer and double fields to disable the
security manager.
