Security Fix(es):

* An insufficient bytecode verification flaw was discovered in the Hotspot
component in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use
this flaw to completely bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2016-3606)

* Multiple denial of service flaws were found in the JAXP component in
OpenJDK. A specially crafted XML file could cause a Java application using
JAXP to consume an excessive amount of CPU and memory when parsed.
(CVE-2016-3500, CVE-2016-3508)

* Multiple flaws were found in the CORBA and Hotsport components in
OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to
bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2016-3458, CVE-2016-3550)
