Descriptions

The LiveConnect implementation in plugin/icedteanp/IcedTeaNPPlugin.cc in IcedTea-Web before 1.4.2 allows local users to read the messages between a Java applet and a web browser by pre-creating a temporary socket file with a predictable name in /tmp.

La implementación LiveConnect en plugin/icedteanp/IcedTeaNPPlugin.cc en IcedTea-Web anterior a 1.4.2 permite a usuarios locales leer los mensajes entre un Applet Java y un navegador de web mediante la precreación de un archivo de socket temporal con un nombre predecible en /tmp.

Michael Scherer discovered that IcedTea Web created temporary directories in an unsafe fashion. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain or modify sensitive information from other local user sessions.
