This is a severe issue.

And very easy to reproduce:
1. Go to any applet like http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/DitherTest/example1.html
2. Reload the applet in the same tab: breaks with "java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied: null"

I cannot believe this bug actually found it's way to the public release.
Java applet support essentially got removed in 3.6.14.

You should:
1. stop delivering 3.6.14 immediately to reduce the damage
2. fix the bug and launch 3.6.15 asap
3. review your qa process to avoid future bugs like this one
