CVE-2015-0437 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2015-0437):
  Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 8u25 allows remote attackers to
  affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors
  related to Hotspot.


Redhat is a bit more helpful in its description at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2015-0437:

A flaw was found in the way the Hotspot component in OpenJDK in the way this component generated code for bytecode. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

1.8.0.31 fixes this.

I didn't see anything related to java 7 so I suppose it is not affected.

This was dealt with some time ago. Security team, please close this out.
