Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Oracle’s JRE and JDK
software suites allowing remote attackers to remotely execute arbitrary
code, obtain information, and cause Denial of Service.
Background
==========
Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) lets you develop and deploy
Java applications on desktops and servers, as well as in today’s

——————————————————————-
2 affected packages
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities exist in both Oracle’s JRE and JDK. Please
review the referenced CVE’s for additional information.
Impact
