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.
