NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream icedtea-web package and not the icedtea-web package as distributed by Ubuntu.

It was found that icedtea-web though 1.7.2 and 1.8.2 did not properly sanitize paths from <jar/> elements in JNLP files. An attacker could trick a victim into running a specially crafted application and use this flaw to upload arbitrary files to arbitrary locations in the context of the user.
