Description:

An unspecified error in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and JDK could allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to restricted resources. By persuading a victim to visit a Web site containing malicious JavaScript, an attacker could gain unauthorized access to network resources available through the victim's system via Java APIs.
