Microsoft JVM HTML Applet Tag Class Restriction Bypass Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft JVM that may lead to a denial of service in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

It is possible to abuse the HTML <applet> tag to bypass Java class restrictions. Class objects may be instantiated using the HTML <applet> tag, and since this is not expected by the browser when some native methods are used, this may crash the browser.
