Description Marc Schoenefeld 2007-10-07 12:06:25 UTC

Sun describes a flaw at: 

http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-103073-1

Two vulnerabilities in Java Web Start may allow an untrusted application to read
and write local files that are accessible to the user running the untrusted
application.

Comment 2 Vincent Danen 2010-04-15 19:55:20 UTC

These issues did not affect the versions of Sun JDK as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras 4 or 5.
