Description Marc Schoenefeld 2007-07-25 13:39:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

A security vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment Applet Class Loader may
allow an untrusted applet that is loaded from a remote system to circumvent
network access restrictions and establish socket connections to certain services
running on the local host, as if it were loaded from the system that the applet
is running on. This may allow the untrusted remote applet the ability to exploit
any security vulnerabilities existing in the services it has connected to.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

   Affects: RHEL4-EXTRAS-U5
