A security vulnerability in the JNLPAppletLauncher may impact users of the Sun JDK and JRE. Non-current versions of the JNLPAppletLauncher may be re-purposed with an untrusted Java applet to write arbitrary files on the system of the user downloading and running the untrusted applet. The JNLPAppletLauncher is a general purpose JNLP-based applet launcher class for deploying applets that use extension libraries containing native code. http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-66-263490-1
