Sun Java Plug-in Multiple Applet Vulnerabilities

The Sun Java Plug-in is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.

The first issue can allow an untrusted applet to escalate its privileges to access resources with the privilege level of the user running the applet.

This issue occurs only in Internet Explorer running on Windows.

The second issue allows an untrusted applet to interfere with another applet embedded in the same web page.

This issue occurs in Java running on Windows, Solaris, and Linux.
