CVE-2008-3114: Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 7, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information (the cache location) via an untrusted application, aka CR 6704074. CVE-2008-3113: Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16 and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows remote attackers to create or delete arbitrary files via an untrusted application, aka CR 6704077. CVE-2008-3112: Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 7, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files via an untrusted application, aka CR 6703909.

CVE-2008-3110: Unspecified vulnerability in scripting language support in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 Update 6 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by using an applet to read information from another applet. CVE-2008-3109: Unspecified vulnerability in scripting language support in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 Update 6 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted (1) application or (2) applet, as demonstrated by an application or applet that grants itself privileges ...
