Description Marc Schoenefeld 2007-10-07 08:06:25 EDT

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.

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