"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200506-14
(Sun and Blackdown Java: Applet privilege escalation)

    Both Sun's and Blackdown's JDK and JRE may allow untrusted applets
    to elevate privileges.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could embed a malicious Java applet in a web
    page and entice a victim to view it. This applet can then bypass
    security restrictions and execute any command or access any file with
    the rights of the user running the web browser.
  
Workaround :

    There are no known workarounds at this time."
