  - Multiple vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 6 and
    earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted applet that bypasses
    SecurityManager restrictions by (1) using com.sun.beans.finder.ClassFinder.findClass and leveraging an
    exception with the forName method to access restricted classes from arbitrary packages such as
    sun.awt.SunToolkit, then (2) using reflection with a trusted immediate caller to leverage the getField
    method to access and modify private fields, as exploited in the wild in August 2012 using Gondzz.class and
    Gondvv.class. (CVE-2012-4681)

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