Description:
 Unspecified vulnerability in the Networking component in Oracle Java SE and
 Java for Business 6 Update 21 and 5.0 Update 25 allows remote attackers to
 affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors.
 NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the October 2010 CPU.
 Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable downstream vendor that
 this is related to missing validation of request headers in the
 HttpURLConnection class when they are set by applets, which allows remote
 attackers to bypass the intended security policy.
Ubuntu-Description:
  It was discovered that the HttpURLConnection class did not validate
  request headers set by java applets, which could allow an attacker
  to trigger actions otherwise not allowed to HTTP clients.
Notes:
  sbeattie> red hat description: HttpURLConnection did not validate
  request headers set by applets, which could allow remote attackers
  to trigger actions otherwise restricted to HTTP clients.
