The JNLP SecurityManager in IcedTea (IcedTea.so) 1.7 before 1.7.7, 1.8 before 1.8.4, and 1.9 before 1.9.4 for Java OpenJDK returns from the checkPermission method instead of throwing an exception in certain circumstances, which might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass the intended security policy by creating instances of ClassLoader.

IcedTea 1.7.x before 1.7.6, 1.8.x before 1.8.3, and 1.9.x before 1.9.2, as based on OpenJDK 6, declares multiple sensitive variables as public, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information including (1) user.name, (2) user.home, and (3) java.home system properties, and other sensitive information such as installation directories.
