## Description

The audio system in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6
before Update 15, and JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 20, does not prevent
access to java.lang.System properties by (1) untrusted applets and (2) Java
Web Start applications, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain
sensitive information by reading these properties.
