RISK: Medium Risk
A vulnerability has been identified in Sun Java JRE/JDK, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable system. This issue is caused by an input validation error in the Java Deployment Toolkit that does not properly validate arguments supplied via "javaw.exe" before being passed to a "CreateProcessA" call, which could allow remote attackers to automatially download and execute a malicious JAR file hosted on a network share by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.
