Java Security
This is a serious bug, which JavaSoft engineers are actively addressing, working in collaboration with Netscape and other Java licensees. A fix is currently undergoing testing and review. It will be made available to our source licensees as soon as possible. This fix will be included in our next release of the Java Developer's Kit(JDK), which will be available in April.
In normal use of the JDK to develop Java applets and applications this problem does not arise. Developers can safely use the appletviewer as a way to view and test their own applets. They are warned, however, not to use the appletviewer to view potentially hostile, unknown applets.
Some key points about the bug:
