Netscape Communicator Java! JustInTime Compiler Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been discovered in the Java! JustInTime compiled used by Netscape Communicator, related to the generation of Intel instructions from specially constructed Java bytecode. If a malicious applet is compiled by the vulnerable compiler, it may be possible to redirect program flow to point to attacker-controlled memory. Successful execution of attacker-supplied instructions may result in arbitrary system commands being executed outside of the Java sandbox, with privileges of the JVM process.

Mitigation:

Ensure that all applications are kept up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates.
