## Description

Unspecified vulnerability in the Swing component in Oracle Java SE and Java
for Business 6 Update 21, 5.0 Update 25, 1.4.2\_27, and 1.3.1\_28 allows
remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via
unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the
October 2010 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable
downstream vendor that this is related to unsafe reflection involving the
UIDefault.ProxyLazyValue class.

### From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that UIDefault.ProxyLazyValue had unsafe reflection
usage, allowing an attacker to create objects.
