Comment 2 Marc Schoenefeld 2008-03-06 11:15:00 UTC

Two security vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment Virtual Machine may
independently allow an untrusted application or applet that is downloaded from a
website to elevate its privileges. For example, the application or applet may
grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local
applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted application
or applet.
