JavaScript/ TCP/IP + Java ?

"The proof-of-concept attacks will show how processor bugs, called errata, can be exploited using certain instruction sequences and a knowledge of how Java compilers work, allowing an attacker to take control of the compiler. "

So what: a hacker can take control of the Java Virtual Machine compiler on my computer - NOW WHAT? Even if you could upload some code, compile it, and run it on my computer, it'd still be in the VM.
