CVE-2016-0376

First published: Thu Apr 14 2016(Updated: )

Adam Gowdiak (Security Explorations) reported that the fix for IBM JDK issue <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2013-5456">CVE-2013-5456</a> (<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_CLOSED bz_closed bz_public " title="CLOSED ERRATA - CVE-2013-5456 IBM JDK: unspecified sandbox bypass (ORB)" href="show_bug.cgi?id=1027748">bug 1027748</a>), also known as "Issue 70", did not correctly address the problem. Applied fix only restricted access to the vulnerable package, rather then addressing the underlying problem of running untrusted code inside doPrivileged block.
