CVE-2012-4681 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:12.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openjdk-7 package and not the openjdk-7 package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Multiple vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 6 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted applet that bypasses SecurityManager restrictions by (1) using com.sun.beans.finder.ClassFinder.findClass and leveraging an exception with the forName method to access restricted classes from arbitrary packages such as sun.awt.SunToolkit, then (2) using "reflection with a trusted immediate caller" to leverage the getField method to access and modify private fields, as exploited in the wild in August 2012 using Gondzz.class and Gondvv.class.
