The remote Windows host has an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 installed on the remote host is affected by multiple security issues :- A vulnerability in the XML processing module of the JRE could allow an untrusted applet/application unauthorized access to certain URL resources (238628).
- A buffer overflow vulnerability in font processing module of the JRE, could allow an untrusted applet/application to elevate its privileges to read, write and execute local applications with privileges of the user running an untrusted applet (238666). Note this issue only affects Sun Java JDK/JRE 5 Update 9 and earlier.
- A buffer overflow vulnerability in Java Web Start, could allow an untrusted applet to elevate its privileges to read, write and execute local applications available to user running an untrusted application (238905).
- A vulnerability in Java Web Start, could allow an untrusted application to create or delete arbitrary files subject to the privileges of the user running the application (238905).
- A vulnerability in Java Web Start, may disclose the location of Java Web Start cache (238905).
- Vulnerability in Sun Java Management Extensions (JMX) could allow a JMX client running on a remote host to perform unauthorized actions on a host running JMX with local monitoring enabled (238965).
- An implementation defect in the JRE, may allow an applet designed to run 'only' on JRE 5.0 Update 6 or later may run on older releases of the JRE.
Note this only affects Windows Vista releases of the JRE (238966).
- A vulnerability in the JRE could allow an untrusted applet/application to elevate its privileges to read, write and execute local applications with privileges of the user running an untrusted applet (238967).
- A vulnerability in the JRE may allow an untrusted applet to establish connections to services running on the localhost and potentially exploit vulnerabilities existing in the underlying JRE (238968).
