+	  <p>Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7 contains a
+	  vulnerability that may allow an applet to call
+	  setSecurityManager in a way that allows setting of arbitrary
+	  permissions.</p>
+	  <p>By leveraging the public, privileged getField() function,
+	  an untrusted Java applet can escalate its privileges by
+	  calling the setSecurityManager() function to allow full
+	  privileges, without requiring code signing.</p>
+	  <p>This vulnerability is being actively exploited in the
+	  wild, and exploit code is publicly available.</p>
+	</blockquote>
+	<p>This exploit does not only affect Java applets, but every
+	piece of software that relies on the Java Security Manager for
+	sandboxing executable code is affected: malicious code can
+	totally disable Security Manager.</p>
