Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in Java Runtime Environment
that allows an attacker to escape the Java Sandbox. By injecting
a parameter into a javaws call within the BasicServiceImpl class
the default java sandbox policy file can be therefore overwritten.
The vulnerability affects version 6 prior to update 22.

NOTE: Exploiting this vulnerability causes several sinister-looking
popup windows saying that Java is "Downloading application."
