Descriptions

The Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) implementation in Sun Java SE 6 before Update 15 on X11 does not impose the intended constraint on distance from the window border to the Security Warning Icon, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to trick a user into interacting unsafely with an untrusted applet.

La implementación de Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) en Sun Java SE v6 anteriores a Update 15 para X11 no impone la restricción de distancia prevista desde el borde de la ventana al Security Warning Icon, facilitando a atacantes dependientes del contexto que engañen a un usuario para interactuar sin seguridad con un applet no confiable.
