Bug Description
I upgraded to the most recent openjdk-6 packages this morning; as a result the Java plugin based console access provided by Raritan Dominion KVM remote console access no longer works - it fails with a 'Client disconnect from remote console' error message.
I confirmed this by reverting to the 6b23~pre10-
I'll see if I can raise this with Raritan as well (but might not get far there).

Hi James,
Do you have any idea how the console is connecting to the KVM? There's a few different things in the update here that could be affecting it:
- the fix for CVE-2011-3552 dropped the default number of allowed open UDP connections to 25
- there were a couple of different issues around RMI where the restrictions were tightened (CVE-2011-3556, CVE-2011-3557)
- the HttpsURLConnection class in some situations wasn't doing Security checks and thus was allowing connections that it shouldn't have been (CVE-2011-3560)
I can try to prepare some test packages with various fixes dropped to see if we can isolate it.
