Hi,

Does OpenJDK share a lot of codebase with SunJDK.

There was a security issue for SunJDK...

A command execution vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment Deployment
Toolkit may be leveraged to execute arbitrary code. This may occur as the
result of a user of the Java Runtime Environment viewing a specially crafted
web page that exploits this vulnerability.

This issue can occur in the following Java SE and Java SE for Business
releases for Windows:

JDK and JRE 6 Update 16 and earlier
Note: JDK and JRE 5.0, and SDK and JRE 1.4.2 and 1.3.1 are not affected by
this issue.

The security issues for SunJDK... Will this affect OpenJDK 7 also?

Thanks.

Deepak
