Synopsis :
The remote Windows host has a version of Sun's Java Runtime
Environment that is affected by several vulnerabilities.
Description :
According to its version number, the Sun JRE installed on the remote
host has two buffer overflow issues that may allow an untrusted applet
to elevate its privileges to, for example, read or write local files
or to execute local applications subject to the privileges of the user
running the applet.
In addition, another set of vulnerabilities may allow an untrusted
applet to access data in other applets.
