Quote from the news article - The flaws are "highly critical,"
security monitoring company Secunia said in an advisory posted Tuesday.
Flaws that get that ranking--one notch below Secunia's most severe
"extremely critical" rating--are typically remotely exploitable and can
lead to full system compromise. Both flaws affect J2SE 5.0
and 5.0 Update 1 for Windows, Solaris and Linux. The general JRE flaw also
affects J2SE 1.4.2_07 and earlier 1.4.2 releases for those operating
systems, Sun said.
