CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)
Other issues:
You need to evaluate your Streams installation and your own Java code to
determine if you are vulnerable to any other CVEs addressed in the July
2014 CPU and take appropriate action. For more information please refer to
IBM Developer Kit, Java Security Bulletin.
