CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.x

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Sun Java Studio Enterprise,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated
privileges.

The problem is that certain files are installed with world-writable
permissions when the product is installed by the "root" user. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
other users.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
