Description

Java Web Start in Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 and earlier does not properly enforce access restrictions for untrusted applications, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to read and modify local files via an untrusted application, aka "two vulnerabilities."

Solution(s)

  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-app-emulation-emul-linux-x86-java
  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-dev-java-sun-jdk
  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-dev-java-sun-jre-bin
