Description |
46 |
=========== |
47 |
|
48 |
Chris Evans has discovered multiple buffer overflows in Sun JDK and Sun |
49 |
JRE possibly related to various AWT or font layout functions. Tom |
50 |
Hawtin has discovered an unspecified vulnerability in Sun JDK and Sun |
51 |
JRE relating to unintended applet data access. He has also discovered |
52 |
multiple other unspecified vulnerabilities in Sun JDK and Sun JRE |
53 |
allowing unintended Java applet or application resource acquisition. |

|
55 |
Impact |
56 |
====== |
57 |
|
58 |
An attacker could entice a user to run a specially crafted Java applet |
59 |
or application that could read, write, or execute local files with the |
60 |
privileges of the user running the JVM; access data maintained in other |
61 |
Java applets; or escalate the privileges of the currently running Java |
62 |
applet or application allowing for unauthorized access to system |
63 |
resources. |
64 |
|
65 |
Workaround |
