    Multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2007-2435, CVE-2007-2788,     CVE-2007-2789) that were previously reported as GLSA 200705-23 and GLSA     200706-08 also affect 1.4 and 1.6 SLOTs, which was not mentioned in the     initial revision of said GLSAs.
    The Zero Day Initiative, TippingPoint and John Heasman reported     multiple buffer overflows and unspecified vulnerabilities in Java Web     Start (CVE-2008-1188, CVE-2008-1189, CVE-2008-1190,     CVE-2008-1191).
    Hisashi Kojima of Fujitsu and JPCERT/CC reported a security issue     when performing XSLT transformations (CVE-2008-1187).
    CERT/CC reported a Stack-based buffer overflow in Java Web Start     when using JNLP files (CVE-2008-1196).

  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to run a specially crafted applet     on a website or start an application in Java Web Start to execute     arbitrary code outside of the Java sandbox and of the Java security     restrictions with the privileges of the user running Java. The attacker     could also obtain sensitive information, create, modify, rename and     read local files, execute local applications, establish connections in     the local network, bypass the same origin policy, and cause a Denial of     Service via multiple vectors.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
