(Sun JDK/JRE: Applet privilege escalation)

    Applets executed using JRE or JDK can use 'reflection' APIs
    functions to elevate its privileges beyond the sandbox restrictions.
    Adam Gowdiak discovered five vulnerabilities that use this method for
    privilege escalation. Two more vulnerabilities were discovered by the
    vendor. Peter Csepely discovered that Web Start Java applications also
    can an escalate their privileges.
  
Impact :

    A malicious Java applet can bypass Java sandbox restrictions and
    hence access local files, connect to arbitrary network locations and
    execute arbitrary code on the user's machine. Java Web Start
    applications are affected likewise.
  
Workaround :

    Select another Java implementation using java-config."
