Description Mark J. Cox 2007-05-10 11:57:25 UTC 
Sun reported they fixed a security flaw in javaws, CVE-2007-2435, details
at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102881-1

This could allow an unprivileged application the ability to read or write files
on a local system which could lead to arbitrary code execution.
Comment 1 Mark J. Cox 2007-05-10 11:58:29 UTC 
Note that we shipped the Sun Java for the first time in Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4 Update 5.  The version we shipped already contained a fix for this
vulnerability, therefore no update is required for Sun Java on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux
