openjdk-7 vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Java applets or applications could be made to expose sensitive
information.

Software Description:
- openjdk-7: Open Source Java implementation

Details:

It was discovered that a memory disclosure issue existed in the OpenJDK
Library subsystem. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive
information and possibly bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
  icedtea-7-jre-jamvm             7u211-2.6.17-0ubuntu0.1
  openjdk-7-jdk                   7u211-2.6.17-0ubuntu0.1
  openjdk-7-jre                   7u211-2.6.17-0ubuntu0.1

This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart any Java
applications or applets to make all the necessary changes.
