Name        : thermostat
Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 1.0.6
Release     : 1.fc21
URL         : http://icedtea.classpath.org/thermostat/
Summary     : A monitoring and serviceability tool for OpenJDK
Description :
Thermostat is a monitoring and instrumentation tool for the Hotspot JVM,
with support for monitoring multiple JVM instances. The system is made
up of two processes: an Agent, which collects data, and a Client which
allows users to visualize this data. These components communicate via
a MongoDB-based storage layer. A pluggable agent and gui framework
allows for collection and visualization of performance data beyond that
which is included out of the box.

Update Information:

Update to latest maintenance release. It was discovered that, in certain configurations, the Thermostat agent disclosed JMX management URLs of all local Java virtual machines to any local user. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-8120)
