   security issues.

   Following security issues were fixed:

   *

   CVE-2011-0865: Unspecified vulnerability in the Java
   Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 6
   Update 25 and earlier, 5.0 Update 29 and earlier, and
   1.4.2_31 and earlier allows remote untrusted Java Web Start
   applications and untrusted Java applets to affect integrity
   via unknown vectors related to Deserialization.

   *

   CVE-2011-0866: Unspecified vulnerability in the Java
   Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 6
   Update 25 and earlier, 5.0 Update 29 and earlier, and
   1.4.2_31 and earlier, when running on Windows, allows
   remote untrusted Java Web Start applications and untrusted
   Java applets to affect confidentiality, integrity, and
   availability via unknown vectors related to Java Runtime
   Environment.

   *

   CVE-2011-0802: Unspecified vulnerability in the Java
   Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 6
   Update 25 and earlier, when running on Windows, allows
   remote untrusted Java Web Start applications and untrusted
   Java applets to affect confidentiality, integrity, and
   availability via unknown vectors related to Deployment, a
   different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0786.

   *

   CVE-2011-0814: Unspecified vulnerability in the Java
   Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 6
   Update 25 and earlier, 5.0 Update 29 and earlier, and
   1.4.2_31 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect
   confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown
   vectors related to Sound, a different vulnerability than

   CVE-2011-0815: Unspecified vulnerability in the Java
   Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 6
   Update 25 and earlier, 5.0 Update 29 and earlier, and
   1.4.2_31 and earlier allows remote untrusted Java Web Start
   applications and untrusted Java applets to affect
   confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown
   vectors related to AWT.

   *

   CVE-2011-0862: Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities
   in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle
   Java SE 6 Update 25 and earlier, 5.0 Update 29 and earlier,

   Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 6
   Update 25 and earlier, 5.0 Update 29 and earlier, and
   1.4.2_31 and earlier allows remote untrusted Java Web Start
   applications and untrusted Java applets to affect
   confidentiality via unknown vectors related to Networking.

   *

   CVE-2011-0871: Unspecified vulnerability in the Java
   Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 6
   Update 25 and earlier, 5.0 Update 29 and earlier, and
   1.4.2_31 and earlier allows remote untrusted Java Web Start
   applications and untrusted Java applets to affect
   confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown
   vectors related to Swing.

   *

   CVE-2011-0872: Unspecified vulnerability in the Java
   Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 6
   Update 25 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect
   availability via unknown vectors related to NIO.

   *

   CVE-2011-0873: Unspecified vulnerability in the Java
   Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 6
   Update 25 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 29 and earlier,
