Microsoft Java Virtual Machine JDBC API Access Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been discovered in the Microsoft JVM that may allow an attacker to access databases used by the system as another user. This will allow an attacker to obtain read and write access to the database. This vulnerability is due to the bypassing of existing security checks of the JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) APIs by malicious applets.

This vulnerability was originally described in BID 6365. It is now being assigned its own BugTraq ID.
