Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.70897
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1178-1 (icedtea-netx)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to icedtea-netx
announced via advisory USN-1178-1.

Details:

Omair Majid discovered that an unsigned Web Start application
or applet could determine the path to the cache directory used
to store downloaded class and jar files by querying class loader
properties. This could allow a remote attacker to discover a user's
name and home directory path. (CVE-2011-2513)

Omair Majid discovered that an unsigned Web Start application could
manipulate the content of the security warning dialog message to show
different file names in prompts. This could allow a remote attacker
to confuse a user into granting access to a different file than they
believe they are granting access to. This issue only affected Ubuntu
11.04. (CVE-2011-2514)
