Subject: Re: OpenJDK: java(1): untrusted search path
Hi, confirmed on Ubuntu 32-bit running OpenJDK 1.8.0_131 (modified slightly your exploit to use "echo pwned" instead of using cowsay pwned).

Running "java -help" can load code from a subdirectory of cwd:
$ javac launcher_en.java
$ mkdir -p sun/launcher/resources/
$ mv launcher_en.class sun/launcher/resources/
$ java -help
_______
< pwned >

This happens because:
* By default (i.e. when CLASSPATH env var was unset and neither -cp nor -jar
was specified), java sets "." as the user class path:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/findingclasses.html#userclass
* The help message is apparently supposed to be internationalized.
* The Java"s localization machinery loads classes:

On Debian systems, jarwrapper (a binfmt-misc thing for running executable jar
files) is affected. It contains the following code:
if java -d32 2>&1 | grep "does not support" > /dev/null; then
...
On 32-bit systems, this causes java to print the help message.
