OpenJDK: missing type safety checks for MethodHandle calls across class loaders, incorrect CVE-2013-5838 fix (Hotspot, 8151666)
Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 7u97, 8u73, and 8u74 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to the Hotspot sub-component.
An improper type safety check was discovered in the Hotspot component. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java Sandbox restrictions.

CVE-2016-0636 [CRITICAL] CVE-2016-0636 OpenJDK: missing type safety checks for MethodHandle calls across class loaders, incorrect CVE-2013-5838 fix (Hotspot, 8151666)
CVE-2016-0636 OpenJDK: missing type safety checks for MethodHandle calls across class loaders, incorrect CVE-2013-5838 fix (Hotspot, 8151666)
It was discovered that the security fix for CVE-2013-5838 was incomplete
and still allowed remote attackers to escape the Java security sandbox
mechanism.
The root problem is that the Reflection API does not properly guarantee
type safety when Method Handle objects were invoked across two different
Class Loader namespaces.
A part of the original patch was to use the "loadersAreRelated()" method
to ensure that the two Class Loaders are related, which is a condition
for correct type safety.
However, this condition could be easily fulfilled by abusing certain
behaviours in the class loading process, which could allow an attacker
to bypass the type s

CVE-2016-0636 [HIGH] Oracle out-of-band release for Java 0-day | Qualys
Oracle published a new version of Java today. The new version Java v8 update 77 addresses a single critical vulnerability with CVE code CVE-2016-0636. This vulnerability had been disclosed publically 2 weeks ago on the fulldisclosure list by Adam Gowdiak, CEO of Security Explorations, a security research company, as a variant of an issue (CVE_2013-5838) that he reported to Oracle in 2013 and that was not fully fixed in Oracle’s patch.
Security Explorations has a technical document describing the issue and POC code for an exploit published on their website. They affirm that Java v7 and Java v9 are also affected by the vulnerability.
Since Oracle chose to fix this vulnerability out of band, we can assume that a workable exploit of the vulnerability based on the published information is rel
