Successful attacks can result in unauthorized access to some of Java SE and Java SE Embedded's accessible data.

For Java SE Embedded version 8u261, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue.

Avoid using sandboxed Java Web Start applications and sandboxed Java applets until the issue is resolved.
