Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 7 and earlier, and Java System Development Kit (SDK) and JRE 1.4.2_12 and earlier 1.4.x versions, allow attackers to develop Java applets or applications that are able to gain privileges, related to serialization in JRE.

The Java Plug-in J2SE 1.3.0_02 through 5.0 Update 5, and Java Web Start 1.0 through 1.2 and J2SE 1.4.2 through 5.0 Update 5, allows remote attackers to exploit vulnerabilities by specifying a JRE version that contain vulnerabilities.

Unspecified vulnerability in Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 and 5.0 Update 1 and J2SE 1.4.2 up to 1.4.2_07, as used in multiple products and platforms including (1) HP-UX and (2) APC PowerChute, allows applications to assign permissions to themselves and gain privileges.

Argument injection vulnerability in Java Web Start for J2SE 1.4.2 up to 1.4.2_06 allows untrusted applications to gain privileges via the value parameter of a property tag in a JNLP file.

Argument injection vulnerability in Java Web Start for J2SE 1.4.2 up to 1.4.2_06, on Mac OS X, allows untrusted applications to gain privileges via the value parameter of a property tag in a JNLP file. NOTE: it is highly likely that this item will be MERGED with CVE-2005-0836.
