2013-02-18 Thread David Gerard
A quick question, before I proceed to shoot myself in the foot: I'm using make-jpkg to turn Oracle Java into handrolled debs for our use. I want to test Ubuntu tomcat6 (in Ubuntu 10.04). This tries to pull in openjdk6. The reason is a dependency on default-jre-headless. I'd rather it didn't do th

Does JDK7 security hole affect OpenJDK6?

2013-01-14 Thread David Gerard
I would assume the recent JDK7 hole would also affect OpenJDK7, given they're pretty much the same codebase. But OpenJDK6 is based on OpenJDK7, cut down to pass JCK6. Has anyone checked if OpenJDK6 is vulnerable? - d. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a sub
