openjdk-6 advisories, DSA-2311-1 and DSA-2356-1.

CVE-2011-0862
Integer overflow errors in the JPEG and font parser allow
untrusted code (including applets) to elevate its privileges.

CVE-2011-0864
Hotspot, the just-in-time compiler in OpenJDK, mishandled
certain byte code instructions, allowing untrusted code
(including applets) to crash the virtual machine.

CVE-2011-0865
A race condition in signed object deserialization could
allow untrusted code to modify signed content, apparently
leaving its signature intact.

CVE-2011-0867
Untrusted code (including applets) could access information
about network interfaces which was not intended to be public.
(Note that the interface MAC address is still available to
untrusted code.)

CVE-2011-0868
A float-to-long conversion could overflow, , allowing
untrusted code (including applets) to crash the virtual
machine.
