Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Java. A remote user can access files on the target user's system. A remote user can cause arbitrary applications on the target user's system to be executed.
A remote user can create a specially crafted applet that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger flaws in the image parsing library to gain access to files on the target system or execute arbitrary applications that reside on the target system.
Some flaws in the color management library may cause JRE to crash.
SDK and JRE 1.4.x and 1.3.x are not affected by these vulnerabilities.
Chris Evans of the Google Security Team reported the privilege escalation vulnerabilities.
