Sun Security Advisory - A vulnerability in the Java Plug-in may allow an untrusted applet to elevate privileges through JavaScript calling into Java code. For example, an untrusted applet may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted applet. A second vulnerability may allow an untrusted applet to inappropriately interfere with another applet in the same web page which may include causing it to incorrectly load non-code resources such as files and web pages.
