Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Sun Java Runtime Environment, which could be exploited by attackers to bypass security restrictions and take complete control of an affected system. These issues are due to errors related to serialization, which could be exploited by attackers to read, write, or execute arbitrary files by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page containing a malicious applet.
