Hi,

http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102881-1

| A security vulnerability in Java Web Start may allow an untrusted
| application to elevate its privileges. For example, an application may
| grant itself permissions to read and write local files that are
| accessible to the user running the Java Web Start application.

This is also known as CVE-2007-2435

Sun fixed this in JRE 5.0 update 11.

Lenny and Sid contains 1.5.0-11-1 thus are not vulnerable but
Etch contains 1.5.0-10-3 and should be vulnerable.

Regards.
