There is reportedly a buffer overflow in the Java Web Start utility distributed with the version of Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on the remote host. If an attacker can convince a user on the affected host to open a specially crafted JNLP file, arbitrary code could be executed subject to the user’s privileges.
