Description Marc Schoenefeld 2008-06-24 12:04:48 UTC 
From Sun pre-notification, 6/23/2008

A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment Virtual Machine may allow an 
untrusted applet or application to elevate its privileges. For example, an 
applet may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute 
local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted applet.
