  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 6 and
    earlier, and 6 Update 34 and earlier, has no impact and remote attack vectors involving AWT and a
    security-in-depth issue that is not directly exploitable but which can be used to aggravate security
    vulnerabilities that can be directly exploited. NOTE: this identifier was assigned by the Oracle CNA, but
    CVE is not intended to cover defense-in-depth issues that are only exposed by the presence of other
    vulnerabilities. NOTE: Oracle has not commented on claims from a downstream vendor that this issue is
    related to toolkit internals references. (CVE-2012-0547)
