Java-based applications to hang, for instance if they parse Double values
in a specially-crafted HTTP request. (CVE-2010-4476)
All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve this issue. All running instances of OpenJDK Java
must be restarted for the update to take effect.
