NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openjdk-21-openj9 package and not the openjdk-21-openj9 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

The audio system in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 15, and JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 20, does not prevent access to java.lang.System properties by (1) untrusted applets and (2) Java Web Start applications, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading these properties.
