## Description

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component
in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 21 and earlier, and OpenJDK 7, allows remote
attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via
unknown vectors related to Serviceability. NOTE: the previous information
is from the June 2013 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from another
vendor that this issue allows remote attackers to bypass the Java sandbox
via vectors related to "insufficient access checks" in the tracing
component.
