CVE-2015-5234: Input Validation
First published: Fri Jun 19 2015(Updated: )
Andrea Palazzo reported the following problem affecting IcedTea-Web: """ Permanent Trusted Applet Injection Due to a lack of validation in the process of parsing non-standard uri schemes, it is possible to inject arbitrary trusted applets into the .appletTrustSettings configuration file. An attacker could exploit this flaw to permanently authorize the execution of unsigned applets in the context of a victim browser from arbitrary domains. It should be noted that the exploit is triggered even if the victim hits the "cancel" button when the authorization view is prompted. """ Acknowledgement: Name: Andrea Palazzo (Truel IT)
