It was discovered that the Security component of OpenJDK could incorrectly use unsigned manifest attribute entries when only properly signed entries were meant to be used. This could lead to bypass of protections provided by Jar signing. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.

An information leak flaw was found in the Networking component of OpenJDK. The HttpURLConnection class implementation could re-send HTTP headers containing sensitive data (such as Cookie or Authorization headers) to a different host when following HTTP redirects. This could lead to exposure of data to unintended HTTP hosts.

It was discovered that the Security component of OpenJDK did not correctly perform merging of multiple sections for the same file listed in the JAR archive file manifest. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to alter certain attributes specified in the manifest without changing archive signature.

It was discovered that the Invariance Weakness of the RC4 stream cipher could be used to recover plaintext from a TLS connection, when RC4 encryption is used.

"The Invariance Weakness is an L-shape key pattern in RC4 keys, which once it exists in an RC4 key, preserves part of the state permutation intact throughout the initialization process. This intact part includes the least significant bits of the permutation, when processed by the PRGA algorithm, determines the least significant bits of the allegedly pseudo-random output stream along a long prefix of the stream."

This can lead to significant leakage of plaintext bytes from the ciphertext.
