Descriptions

Java Web Start in Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 and earlier, JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 12 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_15 and earlier does not properly enforce access restrictions for untrusted applications, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (the Java Web Start cache location) via an untrusted application, aka "three vulnerabilities."

Java Web Start en Sun JDK y JRE 6 Update 2 y anteriores, JDK y JRE 5.0 Update 12 yearlier, y SDK y JRE 1.4.2_15 y anteriores no hace cumplir las restricciones de acceso para aplicaciones no válidas, lo caul permite a atacantes con la intervención del usuario obtener información sensible (la localización de la cache Java Web Start) a través de aplicaciones no confiables, también conocido como "tres vulnerabilidades".
