CVE-2015-5235

Publication date 9 October 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

IcedTea-Web before 1.5.3 and 1.6.x before 1.6.1 does not properly determine the origin of unsigned applets, which allows remote attackers to bypass the approval process or trick users into approving applet execution via a crafted web page.
