Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Oracle's JRE and JDK
software suites allowing remote attackers to remotely execute arbitrary
code, obtain information, and cause Denial of Service.
Background
==========
Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) lets you develop and deploy
Java applications on desktops and servers, as well as in today=E2=80=99s
demanding embedded environments. Java offers the rich user interface,
performance, versatility, portability, and security that today=E2=80=99s
applications require.

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-java/oracle-jre-bin < 1.8.0.111 >= 1.8.0.111
2 dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin < 1.8.0.111 >= 1.8.0.111
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities exist in both Oracle=E2=80=99s JRE and JDK. Plea=se
