Fred Andrews updated PDFBOX-1946:
---------------------------------
Attachment: patch.zip
Took me a while to get back to this...
Attached is a zip file with 5 patch files that correct all the applet issues
and security violations I found. I had also needed to change
org\apache\pdfbox\pdmodel\graphics\color\PDColorState but that class seemed
to have been deleted.
And to address your previous question, this was on a signed Applet. The latest
versions of Java seem to be more restrictive on what even signed Applets are
allowed to do.
> Running within an Applet has many AccessControlException 's

> Key: PDFBOX-1946
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1946
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Wish
> Affects Versions: 1.8.4
> Environment: Running within an Applet
> Reporter: Fred Andrews
> Labels: Security
> Attachments: patch.zip

>
> I've identified 6 modules that should be modified to avoid
> AccessControlException's while running within an Applet. My solution would
> be to catch each AccessControlException and then use a default or continue
> on. For most of these, that is probably the best solution, for a few
> especially PDFStreamEngine someone may have a better idea.
> The modules that have issues:
> pdfbox\pdfparser\BaseParser -- line 131 call to Boolean.getBoolean, line 170
> call to Integer.getInteger
> pdfbox\util\PDFTextStripper -- line 79 call to System.getProperty()
> pdfbox\util\ResourceLoader -- line 67 call to getSystemClassLoader()
> pdfbox\pdmodel\graphics\color\PDColorState -- line 50, call to Color.getColor
> pdfbox/encoding/Encoding -- line 78, call to System.getProperty
> pdfbox\util\PDFStreamEngine -- Line 351 & 364 check for font == null (will be
> null if had resource loading problems)
> Not sure what the best way is to proceed. Please advise.
> Thanks
