  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 2 and
    earlier, 6 Update 30 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 33 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect
    confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Concurrency. NOTE: the
    previous information was obtained from the February 2012 Oracle CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims
    from a downstream vendor and third party researchers that this issue occurs because the
    AtomicReferenceArray class implementation does not ensure that the array is of the Object[] type, which
    allows attackers to cause a denial of service (JVM crash) or bypass Java sandbox restrictions. NOTE: this
    issue was originally mapped to CVE-2011-3571, but that identifier was already assigned to a different
    issue. (CVE-2012-0507)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
