An unspecified vulnerability in the Java Deployment component allows remote untrusted Java Web Start applications and applets to affect confidentiality.
Vulnerability
CVE-2010-4475 is an unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Deployment component affecting Oracle Java SE and Java for Business versions 6 Update 23 and earlier, 5.0 Update 27 and earlier, and 1.4.2_29 and earlier [2][3]. The exact nature of the flaw is not disclosed, but it resides in the Deployment subsystem that handles Java Web Start applications and applets.
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to run a malicious Java Web Start application or a Java applet from an untrusted source. No authentication or special network position is required beyond the ability to deliver the untrusted code to the target system [2][3]. The exploitation vector is remote and does not require user interaction beyond launching the untrusted application.
Impact
Successful exploitation leads to unauthorized disclosure of confidential information [2][3]. The attacker gains the ability to read data that should be protected by the Java sandbox, potentially compromising sensitive information accessible to the JRE process.
Mitigation
Oracle released patches for this vulnerability as part of the Java SE Critical Patch Update in February 2011 (e.g., Oracle Java SE 6 Update 24 and later) [4]. HP and Red Hat also issued advisories recommending updates to their respective Java distributions [2][3][4]. Users should apply the latest Java updates from their vendor. No workaround is documented.
