The remote host is using a vulnerable version of Sun Java Runtime Plug-in, an web browser addon used to display Java applets.
It has been reported that the JRE Plug-in Security can be bypassed.
A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into viewing a maliciously crafted web page.
Additionally, a denial of service vulnerability is present in this version of the JVM. This issue is triggered by viewing an applet that misuses the serialization API.
