The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200411-38 (Sun and Blackdown Java: Applet privilege escalation)

All Java plug-ins are subject to a vulnerability allowing unrestricted     Java package access.

Impact :

A remote attacker could embed a malicious Java applet in a web page and     entice a victim to view it. This applet can then bypass security     restrictions and execute any command or access any file with the rights     of the user running the web browser.

Workaround :

As a workaround you could disable Java applets on your web browser.
