Thanks Knut, for your quick action.

I wonder, do we need to do anything regarding this in javadoc in past releases? Add a comment to the download page (http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html), alert the user list? I prefer not to create new releases for older branches because it's such a hassle to create a release.
I think that the old releases contain other, more serious security vulnerabilities which have been addressed in later distributions. We don't generally regenerate older releases just because we discover and fix a vulnerability later on. We don't annotate the download page to call attention to vulnerabilities in old releases. I don't think that this defect requires a special response.

We could consider sending a brief note to derby-user, now that we have fixed our own exposure to this bug.

We have handled other vulnerabilities by including extra instructions in the release notes for a later release. I think it would be adequate to write a release note for DERBY-6270 and mark that issue as fixed in 10.10.1.3 and 10.11.0.0 so that users will be alerted when they read the release notes for our next couple releases.

My $0.02,

    Knut Anders Hatlen closed DERBY-6270.

    The changes seem to have propagated to the web site, so I'm
    closing the issue.

    > The infrastructure team recommends that we update the javadocs
    on the web site to fix a vulnerability. We can either regenerate
    javadocs using JDK 7u25 or use a tool that updates the docs
    in-place. I'll take a look at running the tool, which can be found
