openjdk-6 vulnerabilities
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Two security issues were fixed in OpenJDK 6.

Software Description:
- openjdk-6: Open Source Java implementation

Details:

It was discovered that the Beans component in OpenJDK 6 did not
properly prevent access to restricted classes. A remote attacker could
use this to create an untrusted Java applet or application that would
bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2012-1682)

It was discovered that functionality in the AWT component in OpenJDK 6
made it easier for a remote attacker, in conjunction with other
vulnerabilities, to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2012-0547)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
